PORTRAITS of STRENGTH

One of my most rewarding photographic assignments I’ve had in years was the “Portrait of Strength” exhibit for Southern Crescent Breast Specialist at the Spivey Station Surgery Center in Jonesboro. Dr. Timbert commissioned Pro Studio to photograph 12 breast cancer survivors.   It was probably one of the most inspiring projects in which I’ve ever been involved. It was a group of women that did not take the events of a day for granted. They were women that live life each day to it’s fullest. The first participant was Isis Butler. She came in with her wig in hand stating “I will put it on if you want me to….but I feel far more comfortable without it." Tammy Burroughs brought her family in saying that the involvement was spearheaded by her 15 year old daughter that said all she wanted for her birthday was a family portrait with her mother in it. Each survivor blessed me beyond words. Take a look at our showcase images.
