Meet Luke!
“Luke’s journey hasn’t always been smooth sailing, but he’s really put in a lot of effort over the past few years, and it’s clear to see. He’s blossomed into this incredible kid with a wonderfully playful personality. What I admire most about him is how he always stays true to himself, no matter who’s around—such a lesson for us all! His adorable, toothless grin and his loving nature bring happiness to everyone lucky enough to be around him!” -Crystal (Mom)

✨ Project BRAVE ✨

is a passion project created to showcase the beauty of disability and the special needs community. It highlights the joy, love, and companionship our family members with special needs bring into our lives while helping to break the stigmas surrounding what it means to have an atypical family member.

These families are filled with strength, resilience, and pure joy—and I strive to capture that in every photograph. Through these images, my hope is to bring awareness, acceptance, and a stronger voice of advocacy as we celebrate these beautiful souls.

BRAVE:

B – Beautiful

R – Resilient

A – Able

V – Vibrant

E – Empowered

Celestte class of 2025 💚 Taken back in April I’m just behind on posting but this was too beautiful of a session not to post.

I have been so blessed to be able to capture so many memories of the Fonseca family ❤️ I’ve been a fly on their wall since their first anniversary and been able to capture both Laura’s pregnancies and both Madeline and Yair’s newborn sessions, (even though I am NOT a newborn photographer) watching her babies grow and celebrating their family every year ❤️ thank you so much for trusting me with so many of your precious memories.
