Hey there! It’s nice to meet you. My name is Gina… and raising a child with autism has not only been amazing… it has been a bit rough. I have often wondered how my journey may have been different if I had known I was not the only mom out there struggling with autism.
As a result I have been dreaming up this project ever since. Photography has been a big creative release for me and I have discovered how much I love telling stories. I am super excited and so grateful to all of those mom’s that have joined me in sharing their story to help other moms out there know they are no alone.
