The RARE TEEN PHOTO SHOOT was a HUGE success!  Season Atwater, Aware of Angels, is such a talented photographer!  Thank you to Angel Benson, Maddie Benson, Julie Jackson, Kristen Packard, Rebecca Parker, all of the Paul Mitchell students and everyone else that was involved! Thank you to all of our RARE TEENS that came and ROCKED it! Thank you to their families for their support of this photography project!  We can’t wait for their pictures to be at the Utah Rare Symposium and the Utah Rare State House Event!  

Yesterday was a dream come true! When I looked around the room, I saw our Rare family growing. I saw new friendships made and other friendships deepened. I saw mothers and fathers mingling and sharing about their journeys living in the world of the rare and undiagnosed.

I saw young beautiful teenagers coming out of their shells and blossoming into real models!  They have such strength and such pain. They persevere every single minute of every single day. They are a true inspiration to all of us. It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of this project. Thank you, Season, for your continued hard work and for your wonderful gift of photography. You have such a huge heart and we ALL love you!
