ITS ALMOST TIME......
I cannot wait until Saturday to kick this off. I want to add a special thank you to Rosaleigh, without the help of that woman I would have gone insane or possibly just given up at this point, she is truly an amazing woman and I appreciate everything she has done to assist in the planning of this event.
The coalition against domestic violence is a charity that is held very close to my heart, I grew up in a rather hostile environment, my father was a rather abusive man, both mentally and physically, especially to my mother, it never hurt much to be hit by the man, but seeing him hit my mother broke my heart, the real abuse didnt start on me until long after they were divorced and by that time I was old enough to stand up for myself. However, it did not end there, my mothers ex-husband was even more so abusive, it still breaks my heart to this day to know the pain my mother went through trying to give us all a happy home. It breaks my heart even more knowing that she still punishes herself for the way these men were to us kids. I have never known a better woman in my life.
When I told my mom I was hosting this event and the charity the proceeds were going to the woman started to cry and said " I have never been more proud and honored to be your mother, thank you" those words alone released silent tears of my own. I know first hand the abuse that some people, woman, child, even man deal with on a daily basis and I would like to personally invite you all to share in lending a helping hand, trust me, every little thing helps.
Domestic Violence is a widespread issue that needs to be stopped.

On a much lighter note, I recently did a partner shoot with a good friend of mine. The project is called embrace and it is for a photography students project. Please feel free to share your opinions on these photos. NOTE THE MAN IN...
