Two Poverty Story Photos

Lionel Holmes (21), lifts baby Carter in the air at his apartment in Mount Pleasant, Mich. on Nov 6, 2019. “I get Carter every Wednesday from his mom, Sam Morocco.” Said Holmes.
Lionel Holmes (21) rocks baby Carter at his apartment in Mount Pleasant, Mich. on Nov. 6, 2019. “I’m trying to stay humble here.. but he’s basically the next Gerber baby.” Says Lionel.

So far I have enjoyed getting to see the relationship between Lionel and his 6 month old, Carter. I have struggled with being able to get photo’s outside of his apartment, but I plan on capturing more outside life. Lionel shares custody with mother, Sam Morocco and from what I can see all three of his room-mates love spending time with Carter and usually incorporate him in their activities. Weather it be placing him in front of the tv while they kick back and play a baseball video game or take turns trying to make him smile.

Just your typical 27 year old from Traverse City, Mi. I have my associates in Liberal Arts and Science from Northwestern Michigan College and received my bachelors in Photojournalism at Central Michigan College. As you may tell, photography is my lifelong passion. Ever since I was a child, there was a camera in my hand. My favorite moments to capture are lives breath taking moments from environmental shots to senior photos.
