Families

Family portraits are wonderful keepsakes. Especially for queer families (whether its parents, children, or other loved ones who identify within the community) a professional photo session can be emotional, and sometimes even scary. Folks who have struggled with fears around being out, transitioning, or changing their gender expression, being queer on camera can be nerve-wracking.

I want to capture images of your family that feel relaxed, affirming and full of connection and meaning.

From the time I was coming out, through to today, I am constantly learning more about the diversity of language our community uses to describe our relationships, our loved ones, and ourselves. With me, a family portrait session is emotionally safe and fun. I listen to and reflect the lived truths of each of your beloveds. I strive to represent all kinds of families in their most natural ways of being.
