What is a Special Daydreamer?
A Special Daydreamer is someone who may be different but deserves equal opportunity to experience capturing moments within an environment that is comfortable to them. This service caters to families that may need extra assistance during a photo session due to sensory issues, wheelchair accessibility, or any other medical reasons such as autism, down syndrome, multiple sclerosis, etc. As a parent of a Special Daydreamer, I understand that these sessions may take more time and patience in order to capture these beautiful souls. The goal is to create an unforgettable experience, ensuring that every family member's story is beautifully captured and shared, regardless of their individual challenges. Daydream Photography strives to make photography accessible to all, allowing each family to cherish their memories for a lifetime!

Why Daydream Photography?
As a photographer with a profound passion for creating meaningful and lasting memories, I have embarked on a remarkable journey specializing in capturing the beauty and uniqueness of individuals with special needs. My motivation stems from my personal experience as a parent, raising my daughter who has autism. Through this rewarding yet challenging journey, I have come to understand the obstacles faced when seeking a photographer who can genuinely cater to the needs of those with special requirements.
Parenthood is filled with irreplaceable moments that can slip away with time. I’m here to help you capture and keep them vivid.
Our Approach
Your session is about creating lasting memories, and that starts with us being as accommodating as possible to meet all of your family’s needs. Our approach is centered on making you feel seen, valued, and celebrated throughout your time with us. We also focus on giving your entire family the confidence that your story deserves to be remembered, beginning with helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera first and foremost. Each Daydreamer Session may include a questionnaire designed to help us better understand your family's specific needs. This also gives me a chance to get to know your Special Daydreamer a little better before the session, helping me build a connection with them. This bond can lead to a more relaxed, joyful experience. One where their true beauty can shine through naturally.
Each Session Comes With:
Understanding
Every session is guided by patience, allowing each individual the time and space they need to feel comfortable, confident, and truly seen. There’s never any rush. Just a calm, supportive environment built around their unique pace.
Patience
Each session is built on a foundation of understanding, recognizing that every individual communicates, feels, and expresses themselves in their own way. I meet each person where they are, creating a session experience that feels safe, respectful, and uplifting.
An Experience
With years of experience working with the special needs community as well being a special needs father gives me personal experience. I bring not just technical skill, but a deep awareness of how to create a positive, flexible, and meaningful session for every individual and family.
