Back in May, my dear friend Marta, was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. Before she started her chemo treatments, we decided to take some family photos.
This was before I started the serious studying of photography that I’ve been doing recently. The images had turned out ‘okay’ {in my mind}, but before I handed them over to Marta, I wanted to make them really special.
What a dear she is for being so patient with me! I had a one-on-one consulting session scheduled with a photographer whose work I super, duper {yes, super duper} admire, but not until September. I knew I wanted to bring Marta’s photos to see what I could do to make them ‘special’ …
Jessica taught me SO much! I seriously can not hand over a raw {sooc, straight out of camera} photo anymore. It’s a problem. Both for my time limitations and for the serious case of carpal tunnel I’ve got starting.
Here are a few storyboards I put together of Marta’s photos. I framed them and gave them to her on her last day of chemo. Needless to say she loved them! You can view the rest of her photos here.
I love you Marta! Thank you for waiting 5ish months for your photos! :)
