The LA Couple

Welcome to our little corner of the world, where love, language, and family come together.

We are Callie and Leo and our journey began in 2015 when we first met. By 2017, we were
engaged, and in 2019, we said “I do,” surrounded by the people we love most. In 2021, we welcomed our greatest joy—our son, Luca. Like any new parents, we were excited and nervous,ready to embrace everything parenthood had in store.

When Luca was born, he failed his newborn hearing screenings twice, leading to further testing.

At just six weeks old, after two ABR tests, we were told he was profoundly Deaf. At the time, we. didn’t know what that meant for him—or for us. Feeling lost, I reached out to a mother online
who had walked a similar journey, and she gave me the best advice anyone could: ‘All your
baby needs is love and language—keep singing, keep talking, but most importantly, start
signing.’ And that’s exactly what we did…
