Katie Driscoll is many things, a photographer, a mama to six babes (!) and an advocate, all of which make her nothing short of amazing. Katie and her husband Tom have five boys (Liam, Patrick, Ryan, Sean and Colin) and a year after Colin, Grace their only girl was born! They learned that Grace had Down Syndrome, which ultimately led Katie to found Changing The Face of Beauty, a nonprofit that works to include those with disabilities in media. How incredible is that?! Their mission is spreading — they have been featured in Huffington PostPeople and many other publications.

In addition to furthering CTFOB, Katie is a spectacular photographer and blogs about her family’s journey. Titled 5 Boys and 1 Girl Make 6, her pictures expertly capture her subject’s raw beauty and their personalities. Her blog also does a wonderful job of showing her family’s day to day life, as well as the adventures and experiences they share together. Awhile back Zelda had the honor of being one of Katie’s subjects, alongside some super sweet babes where Katie shared her photo tips with us. Be sure to follow her family’s adventures on Instagram!
