Asher Nash loves camera attention. The 1-year-old toddler's mom Meagan submitted photos of her son to a modeling agency looking for models for an OshKosh B'Gosh earlier this year. It turns out, the agent didn't submit the photos because she explained that the brand didn't specify that they wanted a special needs child. Meagan shared her story, which has now gone viral and baby Asher now has a modeling gig with the Carter's company.

Once his mom got word about the agent's response, she was hurt. "He didn't even get the chance to be rejected," she explained on HLN's Weekend Express. She posted her story on her family's Facebook page, which was later picked up by the page "Kids With Down Syndrome" and other special needs awareness pages. The views, likes and positive comments just kept coming.
The baby clothing company eventually reached out to the Nash family. "Truthfully, my hopes were to go into that meeting for them to say, 'We're going to change,'" Meagan told ABC. "I couldn't imagine they would offer him to come in [and shoot with us.]"
Asher is a natural in front of the cameras. He's reportedly the face for OshKosh B'Gosh's spring 2017 and landed a modeling deal with Babies "R" Us.
He's adorable!!! This is a game-changer and truly the most inspiring story I've heard in a long time. Go, Asher!
