Photographing the athletes for Special Olympics DC has been an incredible honor. For the past few years, I’ve captured powerful moments of determination, joy, and community at events across Washington DC. From high-energy competitions to emotional medal ceremonies and team celebrations, this ongoing project highlights the spirit and strength of every participant. These images aim to tell a deeper story — one of inclusion, perseverance, and the beauty of sport.

Whether it’s candid reactions or peak action, I strive to preserve the unique energy of each event, reflecting the pride of the athletes, families, and volunteers who make Special Olympics DC extraordinary.
