Janine was in need of a new Business Headshot and google led her to our website. She found the 50 over 50 project and said she thought this would be a great way to celebrate her birthday and also get the PR Headshot she needed. It was great to get back to photographing this project that took an abrupt halt for Covid in March when things shut down. Her session was on her BIRTHDAY and we had a great time! 

Janine recently moved to our area from South Carolina for her current job at UNC as the human resource manager. Her husband John is from Danville, although they met and married while living in South Carolina. They were introduced thru his niece as she met Janine at work in the hospital and thought they'd be a good match! She was correct and they hit it off and wedding plans soon followed. This happy time in her life was interrupted with the dreaded C-word when Janine was diagnosed Cancer and had to undergo 6 weeks of radiation while planning her big day! They didn't let this stop the plans and her final radiation treatment was the week before the September 9, 2006 wedding date. 

John also blessed her with family as he has one child and 3 grandchildren, now her family. 

Janine was a delight to work with, and her story touched my heart. Just read her answers the the questions below.

Questions asked:

Me: Whats the best part of being over 50?

Janine: With life experiences you get perspective!!! Making Memories with those you love is much more meaningful than material gifts. 

Me: What advise would you give your 20 year old self if you could? 

Janine: " It's going to be OK? Blessings will come from things you think are horrible at the time."
