As per several reports, the fashion brand first spotted the youngster’s photos online on the family’s Instagram page and reached out to the toddler’s mother Helen. The mother couldn’t contain her excitement when the retailer emailed her about the opportunity in June. Reportedly, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the photoshoot was conducted in a home setting. The fashion brand sent the clothes to the family to photograph their little model themselves.

Reportedly, Craig, the father of the toddler played an important role as the chief smile coordinator making sure that Eleanor is happy and smiling, while Helen shot on her iPhone. The family’s Instagram page, which started life as Helen's personal account, is a feel-good account documenting Eleanor’s Down's syndrome journey.
