Meet sweet Annabeth. One of the easiest wee babes I have ever photographed! (and her cheeks were so plump, she’s going to get them pinched for years lol) It was wonderful to meet this lovely family . . .and discover that we have a connection that goes beyond both being parents. Annabeth has Down Syndrome. Like my oldest son, she will face challenges ahead that most typical children will never encounter. Her parents will also be experiencing a journey that parents of non special needs children will never have the pleasure of experiencing. Pleasure some of you may ask? Absolutely! As a mom of a child with special needs I can testify to this . . .years of therapies, surgeries and judgments yet I wouldn’t change a thing. Our sweet children are truly amazing, and we become better people because of them.
So blessed to meet you M family, I wish you all the best in this new and exciting journey – you are very lucky. xo.
