Little William

It is clearly known that these photos are edited by photoshop, but the story behind them is quite surprising.

These pictures are taken by Alan Lawrence for his son William, who has Down syndrome. According to Lawrence, he didn't take the news about his son as well as his wife and he even thought that his son would be a burden because of his disability, however he's ashamed now for saying that because he hat it all wrong.

It all started at his birth in 2013, as a baby he soon started doing weird positions, as he wanted to fly. Therefore came the idea to make a little project, which has now conquered the social media. His dad, an art director who does photography on the side, started taking pictures of his son assuming the "flying" pose and then edited him into gorgeous backdrops or funny situations, like one in which he looks like he's soaring above a field of cows.

Family and friends loved the photos so much that Lawrence is now trying to produce a series of calendars. The family also launched a Kickstarter campaign called "Bringing Light" to raise money for a road trip so they can take more photos at scenic spots, and meet other families with children who have Down syndrome along the way. So far, they have raised more than 2.000 dollars.

Alan Lawrence said that the project is a way for him to prove to the world that even kids with Down syndrome, like his son, can live magical lives. This project is also a way for them to show how much their son blessed the family, he's not a burden and he has opened the door to so many things and to new experiences.

They hope his son's story helps encourage parents who are worried about raising a baby with Down syndrome and it actually has.
