about
My practice is woven from years spent beside a vibrant tapestry of queer lives. Individuals, organizations, and bold businesses; each thread adding color, texture, and song. From quiet conversations to eventful gatherings, I have listened and learned, letting community stories unfurl and be shared. These intimate experiences guide my work: I craft images and spaces that feel like small spells, honoring identity, celebrating the full chorus of diversity, and mirroring the everyday wonders and complexities of queer life with deliberate tenderness and care.
my Philosophy
My Approach
My philosophy blooms from a wish to create places where queer humans feel supported and uplifted. I don’t merely photograph moments or guide experiences; I work to truly listen to people’s core and stories to then translate them into beautiful images and experiences. I consistently strive to create safe and inclusive environments for the people around me and my work is rooted in magic, whimsy and nature.My experience
My approach is always a people-first practice where every experience is a shared adventure of trust, comfort and connection. I work to arrive beside you exactly as you are and listen to the honest notes of your energy, identity and vision to then weave them into an experience that is shaped to fit your unique rhythm.

My Queer Life Photo project
One of my favorite photo projects to date is “My Queer Life”. It was created to document queer people's stories and their experience with love within the city. I turned the series into a gallery at the end of my photo residency at South Facing Windows, a photo studio located in Chicago. It is a series that brought me my beautiful wife and so much joy.Video & Beat by Steve Thompson (Master Steve)
