Your Story: "…from God"
By: Sheri-Lyn Owens - Rincon

We dreamed of having a child for eight years before she came. After a tragic miscarriage and many visits to Doctors, we were facing a grim outlook. We continued to pray and many prayed for us. Finally, God gave us our daughter through the beautiful path of adoption. We were there when she was born, and indeed she is the most precious gift we have ever received.
Weeks before Sydney was born, we contacted Lori Grice about her Baby’s First Year program. After such a long journey to receive the gift of this child, we knew Lori was the one to document her life through the art of photography. Hours after we arrived home, we were in Lori’s studio. She patiently and masterfully captured this first image of our daughter with a gift tag on her toe. This portrait reminds us constantly that Sydney is a precious gift “…from God.”
Love,
