Hi, I’m Montana — a mom, photographer, and the heart behind Project Ty.

Project Ty was created after my son, Tyson, was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition. Walking this journey opened my eyes to a community of families who love deeply, advocate fiercely, and often carry more than the world can see. I met parents who rarely get photos of their whole family, siblings who quietly support from the sidelines, and children whose stories deserve to be honored exactly as they are.

That’s where Project Ty began.

Project Ty provides completely free professional photoshoots for families with disabled children.

No cost. No requirements. No strings attached.

Each family also receives a small gift for their child — because joy matters.

Right now, Project Ty is based in North Carolina, but the need reaches far beyond one state. I’ve already had families reach out from Boston and other areas, hoping I can come to them.

This fundraiser exists for one simple reason:

to cover travel expenses so Project Ty can reach more families, in more places.

All funds raised will go directly toward:

• Travel (flights, gas, lodging)

• Transporting photography equipment

• Making it possible to offer these sessions at no cost to families

This isn’t about building a business or turning a profit.

It’s about showing families they are seen, valued, and worthy of being remembered beautifully.

If you feel moved to support Project Ty — whether by donating or simply sharing this page — thank you. Every bit of support helps bring this mission closer to families who truly need it.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in this project and in the beauty of every child
