TRI Something New and CJ Photography started out as fundraisers for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training.  My husband and I were training for our first Triathlon together and attempting to raise money in the process.  Our fundraising wasn't going as well as planned but being a teacher, I had a bit more free time on my hands (it was my summer break) and lots of creative ideas, so I decided to put them to work for me and TRI Something New was created! Similarly, Chris had a ton of photos from various vacations and deployments that we thought others would enjoy as much as we do.

When we aren't designing t-shirts, taking pictures, or training with the team, Nicole is a teacher working with students with disabilities and Chris, a former active duty Sailor, is in the law enforcement field.
