the winner is....

Tara Tropea!!!!


I really wanted this session to go to a well deserving person... and she totally is! I'm shocked and amazed at everything she has been through. Saying things have been tough would be a huge understatement. To see her, you would never know the pain and struggle she has experienced.

A little over two years ago Tara was nearing the end of her somewhat complicated pregnancy. After determining the baby was mature enough, labor was induced. Twelve hours later, no dilation... so the decision was made to take the next step. Unfortunately Tara experienced major complications during the cesarean section which resulted in general anesthesia, blood transfusions,  and sadly a hysterectomy.  Meanwhile her husband nervously awaited for hours with their newborn daughter without word on Tara's status. Thankfully, Tara eventually recovered. 

Two years later, Tara and husband are wanting very badly to have another child. Surrogacy would be their ideal choice, but there is very little support out here. I hope to raise awareness and bring reality to this subject. This happens more than we know and isn't spoken about enough. Please email me if you have any information for this family.  

Tara, you are a wonderful woman and mother. I can't wait to have a fun photo session with you. You're so deserving of it!
