I've been working on getting out of my introvert bubble and meeting new people to make new portraits. In an effort to deny the unending freezing cold winter, I'm doing them all outside. The weather has been unpredictable, but I am prevailing. Here are a few of samples of what I've been up to...
Me, being queer outdoors on Gambier island.
So obviously my updates here have been lacking, but never fear -- I can always start up again!
Yesterday, Autostraddle posted a call for submissions for their Queer IRL series. This month's theme is Queer on the Outside and you can read about it here.
Coincidentally, I just got a new camera and am itching to try it out! So if you a queer-identified person in Vancouver and are interested in doing a short outdoor photo session with me in the next week (I am primarily looking at Thursday, Friday and Saturday roughly in East Van), please get in touch! I am offering these sessions free of charge and slots are filling up fast.
As a bit more info... I imagining something fairly low-key, and of course outdoors. It could be just you or you + other queer friends or you + family/pets/whatever. I would give you some images and then you could submit them to the autostraddle project if you like, or do whatever you like with them. I always appreciate a photo credit when/if you use them, but will give you un-watermarked and watermarked versions. I may use them on my own website, unless you specifically ask me not to, in which case, of course I won't!
Interested? Get in touch! You can email me through this website (contact form in the footer), or FB message me here.
..and boy did she enjoy the cake :)
Benji is my nephew, and so a frequent (and favourite!) client of mine. Here are some recent family portraits I did with Ben and his family in an orchard.
I got to photograph the Qmunity Youth Pride Dance Party. We had a rainbow photobooth and some great music. It was so fun! Here are just a few photos. To see them all, check out Qmunity's Facebook post about the event.
