Growing up I dreamed of becoming a mother like most little girls. Due to some medical issues, I was told I would never be able to have kids and if I ever did get pregnant it wouldn't be with out a cost. When I was 19, I met my now husband. He was 17 and honestly I don't think we expected our life to become what it has. 1 year and 11 months  ago I received a Facebook message from an old friend. We were not on good terms and hadn't been for awhile. She said “hey I want to call you and talk to you about something important or on here is fine” I replied with my number and waited on her to call me. I didn't know that what she wanted to ask would change our lives forever. I remember the day like it was yesterday she was five months pregnant and wanted us to adopt the baby. At first I was so confused and didn't know what to think I knew I needed to talk it over with my husband I was so afraid he would say no. He didn't want kids yet but I did and the thought

I met this family several months ago, when I was invited into their home to photograph their newborn daughter at just about 10 days old. As you see some of the photos of the family from their first session with me and their recent one. It is something how time flies and fast kids grows up. The Family Then and Now Mama and the kids (Then and Now) Big Brother and Sister (Then and Now) Mama and Daughter (Then and Now)  Mama wedding dress (One of my favorite photo from this year.) Had to capture the McQueen couple at the end of the session, as the son made fun. Thanks you all so much for the opportunity to capture memories for your family. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!       

My name is Sierra. When I found out I was pregnant with my first child in August of 2015 it was the best feeling in the world. I couldn't wait to tell everyone and to meet my unborn child. That feeling was short lived. My world came crashing down when me and my husband went to the doctor at my ten week appointment. My doctor checked for a heartbeat, but couldn't find one. She told me not to worry do to the fact I wasn't that far along. She scheduled an ultrasound the next day. When I went to the ultrasound the tech told me my child didn't have a heartbeat. I couldn't do anything but cry. I choose to let the miscarriage happen naturally instead of getting a d&c right away. A week later I woke up bleeding heavy and went to the emergency room. When they finally rushed me into surgery 6hours later the doctor informed my husband that he almost lost me as well do to the fact the Er Doctors didn't send me to them right away. I ended up having to get six b

My name is Shaquanda Jackson, I'm from Montgomery,Al, and I'm the oldest of three children. I'm a high school graduate of Robert E. Lee high school, class of 2011, and I'm a soon to be graduate of Alabama State University, May 13, 2017. I'm proud of all of my accomplishments and achievements, and I'm thankful for having a mother that didn't run from her responsibilities like my father. Growing up without a father was normal to me because he's never really been around. He wasn't there for birthdays, holidays, graduations, or the birth of my daughter. As a child I would sometimes wondered why my father wasn't a part of my life, but verbally I didn't express it. I held a lot in. I was never able to share stories about spending time with my father or about even seeing him on a regular basis like some of my friends could do. That made me bitter and resentful towards him at a young age. After I was born, he eventually got married and had other

I became a single parent in 2007 when my husband passed away. This was a very difficult time, and brought on many different challenges. With the help of God All was conquered. One of the most challenging things about being a single parent during the holidays is feeling like the family was incomplete, and feeling sympathy for my kids because their dad wasn't around. Another challenge  about being single parent during the holidays is feeling like I couldn't provide all of my kids needs by myself. Even though there are difficult times, but it's not all bad.  The best part I enjoyed the most about the holidays was us coming together as a family to celebrate the love we have for one another and Christ. Being a single parent during the holidays have taught me to be strong and independent for my kids. It has also taught me to embrace the things that I can't change, and to wait on God's purpose and plan for me and my family!!

Hi, my name is Jerica Desmond.  I am a devoted  mother and wife. I have  two living children and one deceased. On, September 23, 2015 God decided he wanted one of his angels back. This would be a day I will never forget. What started off as a normal work day for me turned out to be the saddest day of my life.While at work, like any other day I was eating my favorite meal of the day.I began feeling pressure in my vaginal area. At, that moment I had bowel movement symptoms. I informed  a coworker of my symptoms and she mentioned that she felt the same way when she miscarried .She immediately said, I  need to get to a doctor to be checked.I called  my husband but no response. I figured  he was asleep due to working long hours the night before .I decided to wait and see if I would have a bowel movement.  I eventually did but soon after the pressure became worse. I called my mom to ask if it was  normal to  feel the way I was. After, informing mom of my symptoms, no

My name is Shanterrica Goldsby.  I'm 22 years old, and I'm a mother to be of a baby girl Raelyn. When my mom was 16 she gave birth to me and my dad at the time was 18. He didn't claim me, left my mom, told his mother that she had a grandchild on the way, and he went to the army. I was instantly denied. As my mother and I continued our life my dad got married to another woman while in the army and still abandoned me. He claimed the other woman's child, but not me.  My mother and I continued our life while she was still in high school she met my father. I was 6 months old when he told everyone I was his child. When I was growing up I spent more time with my father side of the family until my grandma from my dad side started getting jealous. Then I was split between the two. Around the age of 6 my dad started coming around more and I would spend summers with him, his wife, my sisters and brother in North Carolina. As I got older I stopped going, and he didn't cal
