We are seeing a real time, fascist coup on our government and purposeful destruction of our government infrastructure. This group perpetuates misinformation and confusion of the masses to disillusion you from their plans from Project 2025. Do not underestimate this. Activate, mobilize, fight.

The joy in my work is largely why I've done this all my life. As an artist at heart with a flare for the romance in everyday life, I'm honored to be trusted with this job. Queer people deserve spaces where they feel safe being fully seen by their photographer.

The sooner ppl accept media is largely controlled to retain a passive society the sooner we’ll start thinking critically about what people say happened versus what actually did.

The worst part? They told you they were going to do this YEARS ago, and you did nothing. We begged and you looked away.

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

Now offering this sale through the end of February!
I'd love to see some faces hit me up, book a session, find their studio and create some beautiful imagery!

I would be dead if it weren’t for trans healthcare. Both as a minor and as an adult. I know many who’d say the same thing. A lot of trans people are going to suffer and die because people refuse to have empathy for us. And it’s horrifying, it’s destabilizing.

Bluesky needs more trans folks and allies to speak up about the injustice of this all. We will not be erased. We won't go quietly. And we certainly aren't giving up. Help us fight these extreme fascist oppressors.

Cisgender folks who don't know what to do to be helpful?
1. Visit your transgender friends.
2. Support their needs or businesses.
3. Do not disclose their trans identity to anyone.
4. Do not performatively react to the very scary reality we're in
5. Reach mindfully and stay regulated if possible

The United States of America is actively engaged in a genocide of its trans population.

Did you know I'm a second photographer for various brands in Chicago? These are from an assignment with Ash from Unabridged Photo.
I'll be heading back to this venue for my own work this year. I'm a big fan of these original brick walls painted white. Very classic meets modern Chicago.

This is what happens to trans women placed in men's prisons. They are subjected to daily horrific rapes and used as human chattel to pacify aggressive and violent inmates. It's called v coding.

POTUS is shutting the US government down, except for immigration enforcement and military activities.
That’s the story. He’s shutting the whole government down. He’s closing up every aspect of the United States operation, except the parts with guns.

These two inspired the idea of doing vow exchanges during my elopement sessions. There is really only five minutes of sentiment exchanged during an average city hall elopement ceremony. Leaving your vows up to you! These two selected a lovely Moroccan tile fountain in the Garfield Conservatory.

Flashback to one of my favorite indoor session locations; Garfield Conservatory. All the Chicago plant lovers end up getting themselves a permit to this diverse portrait location. If you're eloping, this is a lovely spot for family formal portraits and exchanging vows.
