Comment-a-thon
Photographing people and their families is an amazing job. I absolutely love seeing the love and happiness between them. And I love seeing my clients grow up before my eyes. It’s awesome.
However, sometimes it also comes with sadness. In August I photographed an amazing family as a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Nobody knew that just a few short days later the grandmother would be diagnosed with a brain tumor. Sadly, Karen lost her battle with cancer on Sunday.
In honor of her, I am making this post. For those who have loved and lost, please leave a comment. Faber Photography will be donating $1 for the first 50 posts made to the American Cancer Society. Hopefully together we can find a cure.

Karen was a wonderful co-worker and team member. We worked closely with the same agencies for the past 8 years. She was looking forward to retirement and many rounds of golf with her husband and friends. She also always talked about her wonderful family and grandkids. She will be missed.
