Purple Awareness
As I share these photos from my latest session, I thought I would explain the significance with you all. This shoot was done in honor and awareness for 2 conditions that affect our families (mine and my models) for which purple is the awareness color.
I wear purple in honor, awareness, and support for Pancreatic Cancer which has affected my great-grandmother and both her sons, my great-uncles. One of those uncle's is currently in a fight against it as I post this. And my model, Connie, wears purple in honor, awareness, and support for her father who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
Because of the significance this session
Not that it's any of your business, but...
As nice as it might be, I don't get paid to sit on DA and accept or decline group submissions. I find it sad that I must inform people of such and inform them that I have a life that doesn't revolve around this site. I'm a professional photographer, I own my own business, I don't have time to waste hours on end here. That said, I do visit every couple of days and I check in on my group (accept some, decline some, read notes etc) but I haven't been able to do so in the last 2 weeks and here is why...
Not that it's any of your business but...my uncle was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer 2 weeks ago and has been in the ICU ever since. N
Nikon D7000 and D800 owners - recall
https://www.nikonusa.com/Service-And-Support/Service-Advisories/h0ndzaip/EN-EL15-Battery-Recall-Service-Advisory.html
Nikon has issued a notice regarding the battery packs for the Nikon D7000, D800, and D800E SLRs. This recall is for specific batch numbers only. To determine if your battery pack is affected by this recall, simply look for the 14 digit lot number on the back of the pack. If the 9th digit is either an "E" or an "F", you are affected by this recall. The batteries were sold between March 2012 and present, and are reportedly causing short circuiting.

Some of my images have been stored or removed from DA. I wasn't originally going to explain the reasoning behind this, but I have since decided that it needs to be shared (for personal reasons). Some of my favorite children's portraits, along with my most recent engagement session are the images in question and are no longer available for viewing. Why?
A lack of written agreement, that's why! I didn't think I'd need one, after all, we'd been friends for 11 years. BLAH BLAH BLAH! I don't care if you're shooting personal work with a friend. I don't care how much you deny that your friend could ever turn on you. Get everything in WRITING! Trust
