I am thrilled to announce that the Summer 2020 Charity of Choice, receiving 10% of the profits from my summer photo sessions will be Life is Good No Matter What, an organization that grants escapes to adults with advanced cancer. Since I am currently fighting my second battle with breast cancer (now in my left lung), and this organization granted a wish for my family and me, I want to make sure to help other families in similar situations. Last summer the organization sent the four of us on a fabulous, all-expense trip to St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The beaches and hiking and wildlife here were absolute paradise and we hope to one day return to this place that now has our hearts! Find out more about this fantastic organization here:

2. Benton's Fosters, the kitty haven run by my cousin Brenda Benton, affiliated with The Euclid Beach Cat Project. We adopted our sweet, visually impaired Sammy Man from Brenda and he is the best kitty in the world! Brenda's fosters won my heart and I was thrilled to help her provide medical, physical and emotional care to these fur babies. Read more about her foster adventures and furry friends here.

3. Prayers From Maria Sunflower Field (annual benefactor), which supports childhood cancer research. I have shot at this field the past three seasons and it is a glorious place of celebration and hope.

4. Foster in the Falls, a kitten/mama rescue run by my dear friend and fellow teacher, Louise Milton. Read more about her foster adventures and latest rescues here here on FB
