LGBTQ+ couples
First of all: This is a space for love and all lovers are welcome! I have always made it a point to be welcoming and inclusive to everyone (except racists and homophobes) because I want everyone to feel represented, seen and valued. I have photographed so many different people, couples, throuples and families and want to let everyone know that you get to love whoever you want, and anyone who isn’t okay with that, can show themselves out. Because there is far too much beauty and queerness and goodness out there and I’m here to document it for you!
I mean, look at all of these couples. I am in love with all the love.
People often ask me how I get to shoot so many queer couples, and I don’t know what to tell them. I have always been very inclusive, made it a point to photograph LGBTQ+ couples, and I think the right people just attract each other.
So hold space, show up, and the right people will find you.
I only represent the “B” of the rainbow and am married to a cis man, so some people feel like I don’t belong. But I will always be proudly bi and a fierce ally to all my queers. I also strongly believe that if you’re in a position (eg. as a photographer) where you can make a difference and stand up for the community and be inclusive, it’s our job to do so.
It’s 2022 and we shouldn’t even be discussing these issues anymore, but clearly we need to. And part of the change is to represent all types of relationships and fight for visibility.
If you’re an LGBTQ+ person or couple and would love some amazing photos. get in touch!!
