Sobriety Shoot

This was without question one of my favorite photo shoots I’ve done. Robert wrote up a little bio and you can read it below. His story is truly inspiring and he is now 22 months clean and to celebrate I wanted to put this together. I wish Robert and his family nothing but the best. I’m proud of you, buddy. I appreciate the time you gave me to shoot these photos. 🙏

 

 

"My name is Robert Martens I’m 38 years old I’m an enrolled member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee I’m from the deer clan. I started using drugs when I was 16 and quickly my life spiraled bout of control. I’ve been in a number of treatment centers, prison, and more jails than I can count. Finally I had nowhere else to turn except to the Lord I got saved and my life began to change. I’ve been clean for 22 months and because of God and recovery I’ve been given another chance. I have 3 amazing kids who I love very much. I have a relationship with my mother, my brother and my sister again and I get to help other addicts which is what it’s all about. I’m grateful for my life and I’m also grateful for 20 years I spent in active addiction because I survived it all so I could help someone else in that situation. I now love life, love my friends and family and most of all I love the Lord. Yiyiiiiiii" - Robert Martens
