2-Year-Old Girl With Down Syndrome Wins Modeling Contract Thanks To Her Cheeky Smile
Connie-Rose Seabourne, a 23-month-old little girl in the UK with Down syndrome, has always received comments from her mother Julie’s friends for her beautiful smile. After they told her that she should try contacting a modeling agency, she did. Now, Connie has two contracts and is becoming a popular toddler model!
“When I spoke to the agencies about her Down’s syndrome diagnosis, no one even batted an eyelid,” Julie told Dailymail. “She absolutely loved it. She follows direction very well and she has so much fun in front of the cameras.”
Connie was born two months premature to parents Julie and Peter and wasn’t diagnosed with Down syndrome until she was two weeks old. “We have friends whose children have been diagnosed with Down’s syndrome and have had nothing but positive experiences of children with the diagnosis. It’s just another little baby who needs to be loved.”
Two-year-old Connie-Rose’s ‘cheeky smile’ always drew comments from her mom’s friends that she should be a model

“I sent an email with a picture of Connie-Rose to a model agency to ask them if they were interested or whether I was just fooling myself,” her mother Julie said

“As soon as it gets too much for her or she doesn’t like it, we’ll stop. The first sign that she’s not enjoying it, we’ll stop”

“I was assessed as being at higher risk of having a baby with Down’s Syndrome when I was pregnant and could have had the diagnostic test to find out but I didn’t want it because it just wasn’t an issue”

She is just beautiful :D Her enjoyment of everything shines out from her.
The real reason she got the contact is because she lights up the room, clearly ;) And those gorgeous blue eyes :D
She is beautiful :) Look like Masha ( Masha and the bear) :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJEQmrcxg3U <3
my little cousin also had the diagnose and it's nothing. She lived normally and fully, even went to public school with no big issue.. All thanks to the support of her parents and siblings. What a lovely family they are.. So are you! keep it up..
I love this. They are a dynamic duo. Mom and daughter doesn't get much better.
Everyone always asks when genetics will make it possible to create super humans, super intelligent or super strong people. What i want to know is what is the gene for love and joy.
That little girl has the sweetest eyes! It's no wonder she already has contracts underway! Great story.
She doesn't look like she has Down syndrome not that it's important or something but I wouldn't have known if it wasn't stated.
awww she is just so so sooo beautiful! her eyes, that smile..brr.. :)<3
Aww mother Julie and connie-rose both looking beautiful ... just Peter missing ... may the family have the best of success and the joys of the world.
ok i just have to say she is the most adorable baby I have EVER seen.... in fact at one point I just stopped breathing because she was so adorable.
Williams syndome too? She looks like a Williams syndrome child, like a big eyed angel. Will make her very socially adept too
Wow, this must have been the dumbest comment I've read all week..

She was aware that to take the life away from a child who was simply different, and had nothing wrong with her, was the wrong thing to do.

Oh. My. Gosh. You are awful! Just because she looks different doesn't mean she is different in a BAD way...
