Happy October!! It’s Down Syndrome Awareness Month!

And welcome to #RubyAndNellaThenAndNow!! NOW  THEN 

All month we will be sharing throwbacks from one of my favorite shoots ever – #RubyAndNellaRockTheFuture back THEN in 2016…alongside photos and videos from where they are NOW.

“They have been laying here in bed whispering, dreaming and imagining the possibilities for their future and would like to take you on a little trip. A little journey into a world where they are reaching, achieving and dreaming of a life without limits. A life of fulfillment, joy, independence…and the ups and downs of daily life. We hope you have fun, open your hearts and imagine the possibilities with us!!”

That  was the very first post from that campaign, and when I went back and reread it, I realized it still holds true today…because we are still dreaming and believing. The biggest difference between THEN and NOW is that today we are dreaming more WITH them and not FOR them  They have their own dreams and goals now – and it makes my heart SO happy to see!

We CANNOT wait to CELEBRATE with you all the awesomeness that magical little chromosome brings into our lives and into this world!!
