Empathy for shy and neurodivergent girls


If you have anxiety about feeling awkward in front of the camera, share your concerns with me. I care deeply about making sure you feel understood and accepted for who you are. If you're arranging a session for a loved one on the autism spectrum or one who has special needs, we'll discuss the ways to make this process fun and fulfilling for them together.
