In July 2025, Hopelynd had the honor of joining an inspiring group of families at Lucky Fin Project Weekend 2025. This annual event brings together people with limb differences and their loved ones to celebrate strength, community, and the beauty of being uniquely made.

What Is Lucky Fin Project Weekend?

The Lucky Fin Project is a nonprofit that supports families affected by congenital limb differences. The organization provides community, education, resources, and encouragement to children and adults who were born with limb differences or who have undergone amputations.

Each year, Lucky Fin Project Weekend gathers hundreds of people from across the United States and beyond for a weekend full of connection, activities, educational sessions, and unforgettable memories. In 2025, the event took place from July 18 to 20 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Troy, Michigan, bringing together attendees from all walks of life to celebrate resilience and joy.

Hopelynd’s Role at the Event

Hopelynd was thrilled to offer Mini Sessions for families attending the 2025 Lucky Fin Project Weekend. These short, engaging photo sessions offered a meaningful way for families to pause, connect, and capture memories in a joyful setting.

Our team provided a welcoming, professional experience, creating individual photo sessions for each family. These portraits captured genuine moments of laughter, connection, and love, with every image reflecting the unique personality of each individual and the vibrant spirit of the Lucky Fin Project community.

Why Photos Matter

Photography does more than document a moment. At events like Lucky Fin Project Weekend, photos:

• Celebrate identity and uniqueness
• Preserve meaningful memories
• Empower families to see themselves in images that reflect confidence and connection

These images become cherished keepsakes long after the weekend ends.

“These ladies are the best in the business! They took some family pictures for us a few months ago. These pictures will be hanging on our walls forever! They were so kind and patient with our little girl. They make everyone around them feel so valued and loved and it shows big time through their photography! Highly recommend!!” -Brooke

Highlights From the Weekend

The energy at Lucky Fin Project Weekend was uplifting and full of connection. Families shared stories, made new friends, and participated in activities designed to inspire confidence and belonging. Hopelynd was proud to help families commemorate these moments through professional portraits that showcased their joy and individuality.

From candid smiles to playful interactions, each mini session told a powerful story of community and celebration.
