Michelle Ragland

My name is Michelle Ragland, and I am 53 years old. If someone was just looking at that picture, they would say, oh, look at that family. That's a nice photo. But there's a story behind the photo.

the reason why I chose that photo - my family, we take pictures every year. And that's the photo of my daughter's last photo with us. So it holds a significant memory and plus, once we got that photo done, my other daughter had a son before we got that photo done. My other daughter had a son and he was able to be added into that photo, like painted inside of the photo as well. So, it's very near and dear to me. It was a Christmas gift.”
