I tossed about several ideas for the title of this blog post. It was a tough title to settle on and a tough post to write. This is Lisabeth Saunders Medlock, owner of Life By Design Coaching and Results Consulting. If you like to follow my blog, you may remember this post from last year, when I captured her and her beautiful daughter at play. Or maybe this post, where I photographed her by herself for business images. She is a lovely woman and I was happy to work with her again recently. This time, our goal was to show that Beth’s facial appearance has changed very, very little since her accident. In 2010, Beth was exercising at home when a piece of an apparatus she was using broke and hit her in the face. She suffered significant injuries to both eyes leaving her blind. I can’t imagine what that must be like. But I have an enormous amount of respect for her ability to persevere and face the new obstacles in her life with bravery and a sense of humor and to triumph.

I am so happy with the images and think she looks amazing! Leave Beth a little love here and tell her she is every bit as lovely as always:)

She is clearly beautiful on the outside, but also so very stunning on the inside – what powerful spirit she has.
