Photography for our Special Needs Kids
Having a successful photography session with a special needs child can be a challenge. It is hard for parents to feel a sense of understanding from a photographer unless they themselves have "been there". As a mother of a special needs child I was unsuccessful in getting my own child photographed until I learned how to take pictures of him.  And this is where my passion to do this for others was born.

For our sessions my first goal is to make sure that everyone has fun. I want these children to see this as something that's cool that they will want to do again in the future and then my second goal is make everyone look their best. I want your child to see him/herself in a different way - a way that says 'I am beautiful' because they truly are a beautiful child of God.

My sessions are different!  I meet with your child(ren) before the photo session.  We look at my equipment and I even let the kids take pics too.  We talk about what will happen on that day and about signals we can all use to let each other know when something just isn't right.  I want the children to feel like they are in control while I am gently guiding them to where I want them to be.  Sessions include family photos as well as each individual child. I  work quickly but patiently to capture the spirit of your child!

And when we are done, I even have a treasure box where the children get to pick a prize. How cool is that?!?
