Being a professional photographer means that you’re able to capture beautiful moments between family members, engagements, weddings, and even newborns with all of their innocence.

But Julie Wilson, a professional photographer based out of New Jersey had set out to capture extraordinary precious moments, to bring awareness to a silenced subject. Down Syndrome.

Julie’s sister, Dina, was born with Down Syndrome. While most families see this as a disability and curse, Julie’s parents saw this as a blessing and embraced her for the unique person she was.

Sadly, Dina passed away 5 years ago, and Julie felt that others needed to see the true beauty of children with Down Syndrome. So she started a photography project to show the world how beautiful and special these children truly are.
