These are the pictures of Emily Carmen Delgado Barter. She was born on the 22nd of January 2005 and was diagnosed with Down's Syndrome within a couple of hours of being born. She's the twin sister of Lorca and has an older brother Zach age 8 and a younger sister Lucia of 18 months old seen here running in some of the images. Emily has always been a healthy, happy, curious and loving little girl who has brought much happiness to our family. This is why I felt that we needed to somehow celebrate and express with this collection how truly remarkable people with Down's Syndrome are. The images were commissioned by Richard Bailey and were taken specifically with the ethos of 'Shifting Perspectives 2008' in mind. They are a selection of a three-day session where Emily can be seen interacting with her siblings and friends as well as being the little mischief that she is.
