Personal Experience: When my son Ayan was born with Down Syndrome, it was a life-changing experience for me and my family. This journey opened up a new world of love, understanding, and compassion. It also inspired me to use my passion for photography to create a business that not only captures beautiful moments but also raises awareness about Down Syndrome. In 2016, when our son was born with Clubfoot and Down Syndrome. This was unexpected and a very emotional time for our family. During this time, we received much needed help and support from local Clubfoot and Down Syndrome organizations. This experience has inspired me to be an active advocate working toward equal opportunities of children with special needs.
Advocacy and Awareness: The name "Precious Twenty-One" has a special meaning. The number TWENTY-ONE stands for Trisomy 21 (commonly known as a Down Syndrome), because individuals with Down Syndrome have three copies of the 21st chromosome instead of the usual two. Down syndrome is a genetic condition and happens when someone is born with an extra chromosome. That's why March 21st (03-21) is recognized globally as World Down Syndrome Day. It is a day to celebrate the unique abilities and accomplishments of individuals with Down Syndrome and to promote awareness and understanding.
Professional Expertise: With years of experience in newborn, maternity, and family photography, I bring a unique perspective and deep empathy to every session. I understand the importance of patience, sensitivity, and creating a comfortable environment for all children, including those with special needs. My mission is to not only provide high-quality photography services but also to raise awareness and advocate for individuals with special needs.
