Documentary-style queer event, portrait, and erotic photography

Working primarily with natural lighting and out in the world, I love celebrating queer life and highlighting our playfulness, intimacy, eroticism, and joy – whether documenting a drag performance or capturing moments between friends, lovers, or strangers!

On photo shoots, I work to create a supportive and comfortable environment for all bodies, colors, genders, abilities, and curiosities. Our queer community continues to deeply grapple with issues of body dismorphia, racism, and misogyny – and photography can perpetuate this. Yet it can also be a tool to explore, educate, and celebrate our uniqueness. I aim to show the best of all our magical queerness.
