Testimonials

Over the last few years we have had the opportunity to meet so many children and families, each one uniquely different, offering us a small glimpse of their lives, leaving us humble and with feelings of gratitude and inspiration.  

I wanted to say thank you for setting up our photgraphy session with Sarah. She was wonderful with the kidlets and very patient. We had our photographs done at the zoo. Sarah was wonderful!! She followed us around and let the girls do whatever they pleased. Sarah also spoke to Elizabeth like she was a person. It is hard to find someone who can treat Elizabeth as a person of typical intelligence. Everyone likes to talk down to her and manipulate her to do what they want. 

Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to get professional photos done when Elizabeth is still healthy. We will cherish these photos, in hopefully, our many years to come!

Thank you so much.

Zeynep, our photographer was really patience, flexible and sweet with my son because 1) my son was busy with therapies and 2) the weather was really cold, then we need to wait for a sunny day.  We agree to have the session in an open space like a park where my son feel more free.  When the day came she had her material ready and even made an origami hat and boat for my son, very cute!. She did really nice work ...

...instead she let him to move around and when she found a good shot she just did it...this was not a stressful situation for him, no pressure. She had the cd ready quite fast and she brought this to our place. It is really nice that professionals like her take time of their busy time to give tor kids like my son who struggles in an studio or where he is need to be still.  Also the fact the they give this present to us is very tthoughtful as with a kid with special needs there are many expenses that need priority and having an studio could be for some like a luxury piece, but they made this possible for many families.
