{zumba for valerie}

One of my most favorite clients ever, Amanda, asked if I would photograph a fundraising event for her friend and fellow Zumba teacher, Valerie. You see, Valerie is diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkins Lymphoma and is trying to raise funds to beat it. The Zumba Event was arranged primarily by Amanda and was such a success. This event alone raised $4500! It was so great to see so many people support Valerie. It is so amazing to see friends and strangers come together to support such an important cause. There was a ton of dancing, smiling and yes, some tears. I feel lucky to have been part of such a great event. Thanks Amanda!

Is Valerie just the cutest thing ever or what?
One of my faves from the day.
This woman makes me wanna dance!!

One word: fun!

"Over the Rainbow" was played at the end of the event. I can't begin to explain how much I love this song! I have to admit that even I got a little emotional.

At the end of the event everyone chanted "GO VAL GO!" Look at the enthusiasm!
