Eating Disorder Awareness
As a survivor of an eating disorder myself, I found that I have a duty and honor of raising awareness on eating disorders to adolescents, both male an female. I began photographing survivors and putting together photos with text for National Eating DIsorder awareness week every year. These are the photos I have the greatest passion for.
Model: Mary Derby Quite possibly one of the most impacting pictures I've taken, Mary brought a letter she wrote to herself in her darkest days to the photo shoot.
Model: Molly Roberts THough Molly herself has never had an eating disorder, the photo of her seemed to be the perfect back drop for one of my favorite quotes.
