Coleen is a mother of two, emergency room nurse, photographer and blogger located in Arizona. Her passion for capturing the beauty of the everyday started the second she became a mother. The launch of this passion project was a dream come true for her. She believes in capturing the beauty and unique spirit of every child. 

Sarah Driscoll:

Sarah is a mother of four, photographer and writer located in Massachusetts. After Sarah's son, Luke, was diagnosed with autism she made a promise to herself to document every moment of his life so the world could see the beauty he possessed and how autism did not take away from that beauty but rather enhance it.

Show Notes:

In my conversation with T.J we explored a range of topics.  From his journey to becoming a director to his personal experience of winning an Academy Award and the response that came surrounding his mixed race.  

We talked about his experience of being able to be both a chameleon and being "exotic" and getting asked the question What are you? Where are you from?

T.J shares some of his creative process and elaborates on his belief that story must come first.

His aim with his work to get people to Feel then Think.
