Meet the JJP Crew
The heart of Jude&Jojos Photography - a community of children and families helping us create more visibility, advocacy, and representation through storytelling.
What is the JJP Crew?
The JJP Crew is made up of families who have chosen to share more than portraits. Through personal features, blog stories, and ongoing representation across JJP, each Crew member helps show the beauty, individuality, and depth of the disability community.
Crew members receive more than image sharing. Each family has the opportunity to be featured through social media storytelling and a dedicated blog on the JJP website, creating a permanent place for their child’s story to live. The Crew also opens the door to yearly JJP Crew shoots, future events, and opportunities to highlight therapy centers, nonprofits, fundraisers, and other meaningful parts of their journey.
From HIE Diagnosis to Joy: Kat’s Special Needs Story
Kat’s journey after an HIE (Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy) diagnosis and cerebral palsy is a story of resilience, hope, and unconditional love. This inclusive special needs photography feature shares her family’s experience navigating the NICU, uncertainty, and milestones rewritten, reminding families that every story deserves to be seen.
Living with Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Thomas’s Story
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’s Journey with Autism
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.
What Cerebral Palsy Looks Like in Adulthood: Angela
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.
