Madisyn Babcock, a 17-year-old high school student, is suffering from alopecia – a disease that causes hair loss. Instead of hiding this, she and her mom came with a fabulous idea for her senior year photo shoot. Their positive attitude made them embrace her natural beauty and create awareness about her condition. They came up with something much more than the viral photos.
Due to her disease, Madisyn is losing hair from various parts of her body. As her senior year photo shoot was near, she became nervous about her shoot with her newly bald head. However, she turned fear into her strength and asked her mom to paint her head with beautiful paintings. She says that her mom has always been an inspiring artist for her. Madisyn’s mom spent hours drawing out the flowers and painting her head on the morning of her photo shoot.
The result is commendable!
