Who We Are

Every Child Deserves to Feel Like a Hero

The Capes and Crowns Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides free superhero and princess photo experiences to children battling cancer, serious illness, trauma, and special needs.

Our Mission

Smiles Through Trials

A hospital room, a treatment schedule, a tough diagnosis — none of it changes who a child really is. Underneath it all, every one of these kids is brave beyond measure. Our job is simply to show them what we already see: a superhero, a princess, a warrior.

Through our signature Inspire Sessions, children step in front of the camera in full costume, surrounded by a creative team that treats them like the stars they are. Every session is completely free for families, and every child walks away with stunning images that celebrate their courage.

How We Do It

Powered by Volunteers, Fueled by Heart

Behind every session is a volunteer creative team of photographers, editors, digital artists, costume designers, and makeup artists who donate their time and talent. Together they transform a simple photo shoot into an unforgettable adventure.

From our national tour stops in Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, and San Diego to hospital visits and our Camp Bravehearts partnership in San Antonio, we bring the magic directly to the kids who need it most.

Join the Mission

Whether you give, volunteer, or simply share our story, you help a brave kid see themselves the way we see them — unstoppable.
