This past fall I had the pleasure of photographing one of my clients, Erin. This session had a totally different purpose. Erin and I wanted to raise awareness for Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection, SCAD. SCAD is a somewhat rare occurrence that happens mostly to HEALTHY women under the age of 50. If you feel that you might be suffering the symptoms of a heart attack: shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, pain in your arms, nauseous, or heartburn please seek medical attention ASAP. SCAD can cause heart attack and stroke in otherwise healthy individuals. Donations to SCAD research can be made at www.scadresearch.org Please take a moment to share this article with all the women in your life.

Often SCAD women are turned away and told they are likely having a panic attack.
