Hi, my name Jessica Cantrell.

My journey began many years ago. I decided to get married at the young age of 16, therefor throwing me into the world of responsibility earlier in life. By the time I turned 18, I had been blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Jasmine. She changed my life for the better. With being so young when I became a mother, I decided that a different path was meant for me. I did not graduate high school, however I chose to get my GED and attend college. By the age of 20 and being in my third year at OSU-IT, I found out that I was going to blessed with another precious little girl. Things became a little rockier after she was born. Unfortunately things did not go as planned, but the way I see it life is about the bumps in the road. My husband and I decided to get a divorce. During that time, having a newborn and little support in the way of my ex husband, completing my degree wasn't an option. However I did persist in my journey.

Then my life looked up when I met my fiance. We have been together for 10 years and he has been a huge blessing in my life. I consider myself very lucky to have met him. He has afforded me the opportunity to raise my youngest daughter, Mckenzie, and follow my passion in photography. I currently home school, however this also allow me to have a flexible schedule when it comes to following my dream. I know that I have had an unconventional start in my journey and there have been many forks in my path, however, I understand my blessings and thank my lucky stars to have the ones I love so deeply in my life. I just hope to experience a few moments in yours as well.
