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.
