Soaring Eagle Academy school for Autism
I had the pleasure of photographing Soaring Eagle Academy recently in Burr Ridge, Illinois. It is a brand new school – but unlike anything else.

I think I met some future heartbreakers the other day with this family. Not only are the children absolutely gorgeous, but they were the most lovely kids on the inside, too.
