In celebration of an amazing almost-year of hard work, chemo treatments, surgeries, laughter, tears, friends and family, Stephine walked graciously through our doors and allowed us to document this stage – this day – of her amazing life.  Cancer certainly has not won this battle.

Four of Stephine’s very pregnant girlfriends joined in on the fun and sipped something sparkling to toast her achievements and true fashionista ways.  This brilliant color of teal represents the love and support of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance – I encourage you to visit this site and make a donation.  You never know how much your helping make a difference and all for such a great cause.

Thank you for playing with us Stephine – you are so strong and beautiful but most of all, a true inspiration.
