The Frontzes

Tracy & Travis met in 2017 and now have 1,000+ photos and articles published, multiple awards won, and numerous clients thrilled with their results.

Though the quality of their work hasn't changed, other things have.

The business name has changed from "Captured Memories by Tracy Photography" to "CMbT Photography" to "Novel Photos."

Married in 2022, Tracy changed her name to Tracy Riggs Frontz. The next year Travis joined Novel Photos full-time.

The tagline for Tracy's blog, Spotlight on Stigma, is "Welcomed but Not Accepted."

In many places, the official policy welcomes those with disabilities, mental health issues, non-standard beliefs and invisible illnesses. But when someone with these issues tries to be included, they find they aren't accepted.

Spotlight on Stigma is my small way to help combat that lack of acceptance by highlighting the stigmas by bringing awareness to these issues.

Unlike photography and writing, passions of mine most of my life, I only discovered this passion a few years ago.

Not knowing where else to begin, in May of 2019 I started a blog - Spotlight on Stigma. There I share from my heart about my struggle to overcome the stigma of having several physical and mental health issues while also having close friends and family members with similar struggles.

However, it quickly became more...

Topics include dealing with:

- bipolar,

- having multiple doctors,

- having multiple diagnoses,

- anxiety and depression,

- being very overweight,

- feeling overwhelmed,

- addiction,

- support groups,

- family issues,

- infertility,

- PTSD,

- religion and faith,

- suicidal thoughts,

and a myriad of similar topics.

Let's lessen the Stigma for those who need an SoS by putting it in the Spotlight!
