β€œThis project gathers ten photographs created throughout the semester, now re-edited and shaped into a quiet story of endurance, tenderness, and the persistent return of light. Although these images were made at different moments, they have been brought together in a new sequence, one that reveals the emotional arc I have lived through and the motif that threads them together.

Each photograph comes from a difficult season in my life, yet the work does not show the crisis directly. Instead, the images focus on the small places where hope survives, the moments where light rises even when the world feels heavy, the details that remain gentle in spite of everything.

The series moves from shadow into something more luminous. A fragile wing, a darkened forest, an isolated figure, a hand holding the weight of survival, a soft glow rising through the trees. Together they speak to the truth that even in the darkest circumstances, something inside us stays resilient and untouched.

in honor of transgender awareness week, i present to you an intimate and vulnerable peek into our world

the flame of inner truth β€” fragile but indestructible, trembling yet powerful

to truly taste freedom is to look inward and make peace with the gnawing desperate fire inside your soul

it is precisely why we are ostracized. there is little as chilling to the masses as living unabashedly, fiercely, and starkly as your true self β€” especially when it spits in the face of the pathetic cages we are groomed to stay in

the reality of being transgender and living in the states at this moment in time is not for the faint of heart. many have lost access to their lifesaving healthcare, their rights withering away, their futures becoming more and more blurry and terrifying. countless have lost their lives, or have had their lives ripped from them. we see you, dear siblings, and we carry your souls on our shoulders

ask yourself: β€œhow does transphobia show up in my day-to-day life?”

challenge yourself to truly be aware so you may aid in healing the trauma we endure. transphobia does not only impact us β€” you will always be next.

we are just like you: human.

as a trans and q***r visual artist, it is my duty to use my talents to raise awareness for my community. we are impossibly strong, despite the odds.

we have to be acutely aware every day, so now it is your turn.

how do you help trans people?

the happiest, cutest baby ever β€” Olive!! β™‘ πŸ«’

I’m so thankful Jennie asked me to do this shoot β—‘Μˆ it’s extra special as Jennie and her husband Michael’s wedding was the very first wedding i ever captured, when Jennie was 8 months pregnant with Olive!!

now this adorable little one has stolen hearts (including mine) and she thinks sneezing is the funniest thing in the whole world β€” I have to agree β™₯

β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’

β™₯ Alondra & Kaden β™₯

to witness a love so rich and gentle is such an honor β—‘Μˆ these two stole our hearts and immediately made us feel at home in the NY mountains

being our first wedding since our own, of course we were fighting back tears and waves of emotion β€” how powerful love is β™‘

the way the willows called to us all, the rain a tricky guest but the perfect ambiance, and the most precious gathering of loved ones celebrating the bond of a spectacular couple

endless thanks for your trust and companionship! I can’t wait to share more xoxo β™₯
