Linnell Keeling is a professional photographer, Certified Professional Doula, and the Founder and President of Scars of Beauty, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals affected by breast cancer through the healing power of photography and compassionate support. She offers empowering photo sessions and breast cancer doula services that guide individuals from diagnosis through survivorship—or end of life—with dignity, strength, and care.

A breast cancer survivor herself, Linnell was diagnosed in 2018 with Inflammatory Breast Cancer, Ductal Carcinoma In Situ, and Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (HER2+, ER/PR-). She underwent chemotherapy, radiation, bilateral mastectomy with aesthetic flat closure, and a hysterectomy. These experiences deeply inform her work, which encourages self-advocacy and self-love for every person navigating the challenges of breast cancer.
