The Boob Project
Following yet another surgery related to my breast cancer experience, I had a strong urge that all women should have a choice in sharing their story,
but how - this is where THE BOOB PROJECT was created.
A book capturing images of the women who have been affected by breast cancer. A book to help others. By taking these photographs and having each woman write her story, healing occurs within, and a reminder of how fierce and beautiful they are following a life-changing diagnosis.
Through the imagery in the project, my goal is to showcase the courage, grit, and newfound self-love from a situation that began with feeling out of control, overwhelmed, alone, and afraid. Each story is unique; no two experiences are alike. When going through something like this, we search for answers, the ''right'' way to manage such a situation. Still, it seems the lesson of breast cancer is learning to find the way that works for your body, your family, and, most importantly, yourself. My mission is for every woman's story to be validated. There is not one way to get through this; while the diagnosis might be universal, the management and pathway are not.

the goal
The book will give each woman a two-page centerfold. One page of the center fold will be the image(s) of the woman, and the other page will be a paragraph about her story, followed by answers to these five questions:
What do you believe you gained from this cancer experience?
What was the most significant moment or perspective that changed from having cancer?
What would it be if you could share a token of wisdom with someone else?
What is the most memorable thing someone did special for you to support you during your cancer experience?
What was the hardest thing you had to manage from something someone said or did, even not ill-intended, on your cancer journey
- We start with a zoom call and I listen as you share your story and magically, we come up with a plan of how you would like your images to look. Your story in images!
- I will travel beyond Denver, Colorado,
- No fees to you, No strings, just sprinkling hope for others.
- I promise to make you feel beautiful! And will go over all details in how we get you feeling amazing.
- The total session will be 1-2 hours and can be modified. We will brainstorm the perfect setting together.
- Following our photo shoot, I edit the images and send them back to you in 1-2 weeks. They are free and yours to keep! I typically send you 100+ digital high-resolution images.
- If you want something included in your photo shoot, I encourage you. Some examples might be jewelry, clothes, a hat, a scarf, furniture, an animal...anything that shares a piece of you in telling your story.
- I have a consent form for participating in the book if you are interested.
