A Benefit for Sara

There are times in my life that I am reminded about what is important and real in our lives. Recently I was fortunate to photograph Sara Schuster.  I heard about Sara from a Chamber of Commerce fundraiser notice.  When I read about her diagnosis with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Larynx in March 2008 and the following year of surgeries, procedures, and radiation therapy, I of course wanted to help.  We have donated a portrait and session to be included in the raffle at the event.  That is the easy part.

I asked Sara to sit for a portrait session and I have to say it was one of the most amazing sessions.  She is only 25 years old and has endured more than anyone should have to, and yet she is the most positive and sincere person.  Oh and did I mention how breathtakingly beautiful she is?  See for yourself.  This portrait with the sunflowers is a symbolic image for her.  On Saturday I will present her with another portrait that she has not seen yet.  It of course, is a "Wancket Formal" styled image...

Please join my family on Saturday at the Shores of Turtle Creek in Spring Grove to help raise money for Sara's expenses. (tickets are $10)

Here is the link to her information. Sara's Benefit.  Hope to see you there!
