**COURAGE** This week is Mental Illness Awareness Week and this an extremely important week and cause for me to support. I had the pleasure of photographing three incredible human beings for theroyalfdn who are passionate about breaking down the stigma that surrounds mental illness in our community and around the world. Join me and millions of others by checking in with friends and family. Take a moment to listen and let others know that they are not alone, that we are not alone. Together we can all make a difference. #miaw21 #mentalhealth #awareness #portrait #portraitphotographer #handpaintedbackdrops #portraitmasters
