TIME Cover: Judie Shape and Lori Spencer

Uncategorized

In a whirlwind last minute assignment, I was able to tell the story of Judie Shape and her daughter, Lori Spencer for one of six TIME covers this week. I have been able to get to know Lori over the past few weeks while covering the Life Care Center of Kirkland and was honored to do a portrait of Lori and Judie together. Judie tested positive for COVID-19 but has been recovering well. I will return to this later and write some more about the experience, but below is the cover that was just released today and here is an article about each of the six covers.
