These images are from an incredible shoot for Team Possabilities, an organization which increases awareness for the Loma Linda University Medical Center East Campus. I’ve been a member of Possabilities for a couple of years, and I jumped at the chance at photographing these courageous individuals.
Mike Easley at Vital Excess was also on hand for some creative direction and for natural light photography. Thanks, Mike!
