LGBTQ Event Photography
Every Color in the Frame Matters
From Pride parades, Lavender Graduations, and PrideFests
to community celebrations.
Documenting with love, respect and care.
Over the years, I’ve been honored to photograph LGBTQ+ events and celebrations across Chicago and Illinois. From Pride parades, Lavender Graduation ceremonies, and Fests to community gatherings.
My approach is calm, observant, and respectful. I focus on people, connection, and meaning, creating photographs that reflect the spirit of each event without intrusion or spectacle.
