A Big Thanks to...

Stacey Quattlebaum
for providing the Faces of Hope program to Children's Chance families

About the Faces of Hope program: Faces of Hope photo shoot program is a photo session with a professional photographer for families who have a child with cancer. The families are able to have lasting memories of their journey with pediatric cancer. Each family is presented with a photo book of 10 black and white photos and a CD of all the images so they can make additional prints. This program is provided free to families.

About the Photographer, Stacey Quattlebaum:

I am 28 years old and a mother of 3. I have a son who was born December 10, 2003 and passed away September 13, 2005 from a rare and aggressive form of infantile leukemia. The moment I had my son, I became interested in photography. I was in complete and total awe of the beauty of a child and wanted to capture every special moment so that I could hold on to those memories for the rest of my life. That is exactly what I did and after my son passed away, I realized how special those photographs of him are to my entire family and everyone else who got to know this amazing little boy. I became a child photographer so I can give parents something to treasure, moments to remember, and the chance to capture their most prized possessions in ways that make their hearts melt. I am thrilled to be able to offer my time and services for free to pediatric oncology patients and their families. This business was started in memory of my son, John Reid Quattlebaum. All of the brave little patients I encountered throughout my son's battle with leukemia are my inspiration.
