An Ohio photographer's work is going viral online after she posted images of students using the popular hashtag #IfIDieInASchoolShooting to take a stand against school shootings.

Christina Angel of Paint the Sky Photography in Cincinnati shared photos of students ranging from elementary to high school with quotes using the somber hashtag.

The professional photographer told a local Fox affiliate that she hopes the project will give students a visual voice on the matter.

Angel said she started the project after she noticed teenagers, including her own daughter, writing sobering messages using the hashtag on Twitter.

"There could be no tomorrow, and that's a reality we have to deal with going to school every day," 17-year-old Andie Angel, the photographer's daughter, told the outlet.

Each of the children photographed in the project are holding signs that show their own thoughts based on the hashtag prompt.

Angel told “Good Morning America” that she hopes her mother’s project will open “the public’s eyes to the reality that kids my age and younger are living with in school. Because while the gun control and mental health argument rages on, people start to forget that the younger generation fears for their life every time they hear footsteps in the hallways at school.”

“The reactions have been all over the place,” she continued. “There are so many people who understand the message we’re spreading, that understand at its roots, isn’t political.”

Others, she said, “comment that ‘Kids shouldn’t be worried about this, they should be worried about graduating, prom, etc.’"

The hashtag was started by Twitter user Andrew Schneidawind earlier this month.

I'm gonna try and get a hashtag trending called #IfIdieInASchoolShooting.

The hashtag has since been used by students across the country, including Parkland shooting survivors Emma González and Lauren Hogg.
