“Bounce Back - Reclaim your life after a concussion” is Vanessa Woodburn’s first book, and I was so honored that she chose me to create her author’s portrait.
I met Vanessa in a women’s networking group and we did a writing workshop together. Vanessa Woodburn is a certified health coach, educator, and author. Her life changed when she had a biking accident during a trip to Italy.
I love to see the beautiful ways people come up to help each other in difficult times. The last couple of weeks have been nothing short of surreal. We are all trying our best to do what is necessary to contain the spread of COVID-19. My husband turned 50 last Saturday, and we celebrated just the four of us. The big party that I had planned for him will have to wait while we do social distancing. Our routine hasn’t changed much since my husband already worked from the home office. Our cousin Megan, who has been staying with us also works remotely, and most of my work is done at home as well.
On March 8 I had the pleasure of photographing an event hosted by Bella Onay, founder of Mom2MomBiz, a networking group of supportive women entrepreneurs. She gathered a group of wonderful ladies at Gabe + Angel in downtown Oakville to share stories, connect and celebrate International Women’s Day.
