At just 18 months old, William (Wil) Lawrence, the youngest member of his family, stands out as a unique and inspiring individual. Despite facing challenges, his spirit and the support of his family have led to something truly extraordinary.
Wil was born with Down syndrome, a genetic condition that brings its own set of challenges. However, that hasn’t deterred him or his family from embracing life to the fullest. Thanks to the creative genius of his father, Alan, a skilled photographer, and a touch of Photoshop magic, Wil’s story has taken an enchanting turn – he can fly!
Alan, along with his wife and their five beautiful children (with another on the way), resides in Utah. He crafts these heartwarming images with the hope that they will not only inspire Wil but also touch the hearts of others. The process involves staging adorable photoshoots where he holds up Wil, then works his editing magic to create the illusion of flight.
Beyond these captivating photographs, Alan is actively involved in a meaningful project named “Bringing The Light.” This initiative aims to inspire and provide essential support groups for families living with Down syndrome. Currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, the project intends to create a positive impact and foster a sense of community among these families.
Wil’s journey, illuminated by his father’s creativity and determination, is a testament to the power of love, family, and embracing individuality. It’s a reminder that despite any challenges, there are boundless opportunities for joy, connection, and making a difference.
