Ayanna Stops to enjoy the Flowers!

This is Ayanna. I met Ayanna and her parents when hired to do a shoot for American Baby Magazine when her Mom entered her Dad into a "Best Dad" contest and won.

Her story is of brave parents and a strong little girl! Ayanna is a liver transplant survivor! She is absolutely beautiful but more importantly, she is alive today because a 22 year old young man chose to be an organ donor. If you are not an organ donor, please consider that Ayanna and children like her can live a long and happy life if for some reason yours is cut short.

It was a pleasure to meet this family and an honor to photograph them.

I sit here with a pikline like lil Ayanna as I am getting infusions daily for my 8 yr. battle with Lyme Disease. It breaks my heart to see this PRECIOUS baby gothrough these treatments. Love to her & her parents.

Guy,
You take amazing photographs of my angel. She is a strong girl, and I am so happy that you were picked by AB to do our shoot. Thank you for sharing her story, and please feel free to share the story of our amazing little girl with anyone you know. Organ donation is so important! Thanks for spreading the word.
