Thomas’s journey with hearing loss reshaped me from a mother into an advocate. His story is a reminder that access, early support, and belief in our children matter, and that every child deserves to be heard, supported, and seen for their full potential.

Rowan was born during the pandemic, a time none of us could have imagined raising a child in. As she grew, we learned quickly that her journey would look different, and that difference would become her strength. From early intervention and finding the right supports, Rowan has continually shown us what it means to grow in her own way.

Angela entered the world fighting, born premature after a medical emergency and surrounded by uncertainty, but her life has been anything but small. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy, quadriplegic, seizure disorder, epilepsy, and developmental delays, she has spent 45 years navigating a world not designed with her in mind, yet her strength, softness, and joy continue to defy expectation. As the first adult to join our JJP Crew, Angela reminds us that belonging isn’t limited by age or ability; it’s something every human deserves. She isn’t here to be pitied; she’s here because she belongs, and we are honored to share her story.

Caroline Fitzgerald’s journey is one of courage, faith, and resilience. Born with a rare heart defect, Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia and MAPCAs, she’s faced countless challenges with an unbreakable spirit. Follow her story as her family shares updates, hope, and the power of community in the face of the unimaginable.

Every day with Emelia reminds us that life’s most meaningful blessings often come wrapped in the unexpected. We are proud, we are grateful, and above all… we are extra lucky.

We often say that Becca June was the surprise we never knew we needed—but now, we can’t imagine life without her. From Down syndrome, to beating cancer, to navigating Autism, she has shown us what true resilience and unconditional love look like.

Every day, she shows us just how lucky we are to call her ours.

Our boys are proof that diagnoses do not define destiny. They are living, breathing reminders that joy can coexist with challenges, and that sometimes the bravest warriors come in the smallest bodies.

Gray’s story is one of hope, resilience, and unconditional love. To other parents just starting their journey: you are not alone, and your child is perfect exactly as they are.

Now I understand why parents like me are called The Lucky Few. Because very few people get to know what it’s like to be loved by someone with Down syndrome — and it is the purest, most euphoric love imaginable.

Rowen’s path may look a little different, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Every step, every word, every smile is a victory. He’s our sweet, quirky “little old man”—and to us, he’s a superhero.

Here’s to celebrating differences, cheering on progress, and honoring the journey—just like Rowen’s.

At Jude&Jojos Photography, it’s our greatest honor to capture stories like Ezra’s. To shine a spotlight on the joy, strength, and individuality within the special needs and disability community. Our lens isn’t just focused on what you see, it’s focused on who they are.

This journey has taught me that motherhood isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence, faith, and showing up fully for your child, exactly as they are.

Our greatest hope for Hudson is simple: that as he grows, he’s surrounded by kind, loving, and inclusive people who see him for the incredible person he is. We pray that his teachers, friends, and community continue to embrace him with the same love and acceptance we feel for him every day.

Jude isn’t just the namesake of this business. He’s the reason it exists. And through every photo I take, I carry his story with me—one of hope, resilience, and unconditional love.

When people ask me what JJP is, I always pause before answering, because it is not just a photography business. It is a mission, a community, and a space where families impacted by disability, special needs, rare diagnoses, foster care, and adoption can finally feel seen.
