Brothers | Chicago Autism Photographer, Naperville Special Needs Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing these two brothers last year during my special needs mini-sessions. This year, they opted for a full session, which we really needed.  You see, both boys have autism.  The older one is higher functioning and follows directions very well, but his younger brother is non-verbal and just had a rough go of it when he came into the studio.  For the first 30-40 minutes, he just cried and yelled, so I worked with the older brother at that time.  And when we were trying to get the younger brother to just come play on the bed, the older one was more than happy to take apart my fan and spin it. LOL  Thankfully, he also knew how to put it back together.  I wasn’t sure we would get anything of the younger brother at this point, so I recommended we go on a walk outside around town for a bit to hopefully  calm him down. It worked!  I got some smiles outside, and by the time we got back to the studio, he was ready to smile and go where I needed him.  The result – you would never know how much work we had to do!
