Parents by Alicia Kay. “My parents are the people who have ultimately shaped me into who I am today. I have a mom and a step dad who really payed attention, took the time to teach me right and wrong, how to treat people, etc. They were there for me when I really needed them, no matter what, but they were also there for me when I didn’t know I needed them. They’ve shaped and guided me through life and I could never repay them for the amazing job they’ve done raising me and my brother. I love them unconditionally.” Sami Hershon Ramano on Parents as she poses for her portrait on Monday, March 13, 2017.
