These two photo series are samples from a larger campaign, living within branded "Live to the Full - 66 Stories" client social posts.
Series 1 Post Copy:
Leta Andrews coached high school women’s basketball for 52 years and amassed over 1,400 wins in her career – more than any other basketball coach at any level in history. But behind the statistics is her true legacy... [leading] generations of young women as both coach and teacher, and was an advocate for women’s rights in the fight for passing Title IX. Basketball legend and even better human being.
Series 2 Post Copy:
Vera Vasiley creates handmade, high quality western wear for some of the most famous stars in the country music scene. After immigrating to Texas in her 20s, she adopted the culture and lifestyle, and despite her high profile clientele, never gets nervous because in her mind, “[she’s] always the most famous person in the room.”
