Linnell Keeling

Our Board

Board President

Linnell is 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. A professional photographer and certified full-spectrum doula, Linnell 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—experiences that deeply inform her mission and her advocacy.

Linnell holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Services and is passionate about helping others reclaim their beauty, confidence, and voice during and after cancer. Her work encourages self-advocacy and self-love for every person navigating the challenges of breast cancer.
