As part of a creative team, Maggie Bertrand collaborates with her husband, Gabriel, on projects that showcase his talent behind the camera and her lifelong love of writing.

Conceived and developed for the purpose of fundraising, Portraits of Beauty was a true labor of love with all proceeds donated to the Norma Pfreim Breast Cancer Center — allocated explicitly for mammography screening and related support services for underserved communities.

After emigrating to France in 2012, Maggie and Gabriel worked together on several more projects, including the creation of a digital magazine and a documentary short, which was nominated at the Paris Short Film Festival in 2015.
