RIP Beckey Henry (Model from Brad's workshops) - 07-24-2009, 02:02 PM


Beckey was a model that Brad and I used a several times, for our posing workshops last year, and other shoots. I found out today that Beckey left our world for the next, by her own hand. She was a warm, Talented, wonderful, funny lady and it's a shame she could not ask for help. Please send a prayer for her and her family. She was great fun, and will be missed!

Here are a couple pics that I pulled from the workshop. Pic #1 from Emily, Pic #2 from Ken, and Pic #3 from Paul :(

Beckey is the girl in the blue top. She was a neat lady.

Having walked to that edge, and turning back, I have a lot of empathy for the lady. She probably had no idea of her impact on others.

I've had an inside line to what was going on in her life.. having been more than a photographer, but also a friend to Beckey.. but this has taken me by surprise.

I don't know if I can say enough about the person she was. She always seemed so happy and confident, even when life was dealing her some really crappy stuff. I am not at liberty to say what that means, but I can say that I thought (at the time) she was handling it well.

I am crushed by this news. I feel like I've lost a bright light in the universe.

I don't know what else to say... other than I will miss her.

This is just so incredibly sad...

I met her at Brad's workshop, and she was just a delight. Completely kind, and a rarity.

She will be very missed.

This is such a shock....

:(

Oh, I was assuming she was the girl in red when you said model. Thank you for clarifying. The woman in blue looks/seems like a very nice person as well.

I added a pic of just her.

She loved, what we called *hooker* shoes! And inspired this shot that Brad and I did!
