  www.theturquoiseproject.com https://www.facebook.com/TheTurquoiseProject/ The Turquoise Project is an inspired portrait series that focuses on women and partners who have struggled with TTC (trying to conceive). The intention of this portrait series is to help break the stigma and silence of TTC and miscarriages, which are so often experienced by women and partners, but so rarely discussed openly. I hope that this project will allow women and partners to put a voice to their experience and help thousands of other women and partners feel validated in their feelings, and ultimately, less alone in their struggle. Why "The Turquoise Project," you ask? Turquoise has long been associated with expression and healing. The intention of this portrait series is to do just that, help others heal through expression and by putting a voice to their stories. Show less
