Family-Kids Photos - Autism Awareness

Recently I was called to assist on a pretty sweet project -www.storiesofautism.com- which helps to promote the awareness of autism through portraits and a short story. Pretty cool concept. Opened my eyes. A portrait photographer is paired with a local family and this happens all across the country.

I myself was matched up with a pretty awesome little dude from Joliet who was about the age of my oldest girl. Fun stuff. Gavin loves his games and You Tube... Evan Tube to be exact - and he didn't waste a second to tell me all about it either... or his new LEGO Jedi game :)  And not to mention he was the perfect little subject to photograph. Thanks Gavin! Stay awesome!

Check out Gavin's portrait and his full story at www.storiesofautism.com/#/2014-parli-gavin/, and all the others from this year's gallery, online at www.storiesofautism.com in the very new future (April 13th). And if you know of someone who may be interested in being included in this project sign up at that website for more info.
