Willson’s sister, Dina, was born with Down Syndrome. While some people might have only seen her as a kid with a disability, Willson and her parents knew better and saw her for the unique person she was.

When Dina passed away four years ago, Willson decided that she needed to help others see the beauty of children with Down Syndrome and started this photography project to show the world how special these children really are.

Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome. It can affect anyone, but thanks to medical advancements, people with Down Syndrome are living longer, happier, healthier lives.
