This was my first promo shoot for Overhang, a quarterly party in DC. These guys are so much fun. The best part working with other fat people they understand my fatness. Its a euphoric experience. They are the best!

This past weekend I had the honor of capturing some of . This image in particular is just part of the traditions in the LGBTQIA Leather community. This was a Covering Ceremony. Presenting someone with a Cover or Masters Cap is one of the highest honors given to those who do work for our community. It is an acknowledgment of achievements, contributions, and commitment to the leather community.

Glenda has been a pillar of the leather community for a very long time. She has raised countless amounts of money, given protection to those who needed it, and also participated in or volunteered for many events and organizations. She has impacted every person she has met, including me. It was a great honor to be asked to capture this moment.

I need everyone in Baltimore to give Shawnna Alexander money. If you have at all felt any comfort in this city Shawnna has done work to make that happen. She should never be in need like this. She has given so much time to raise 100s of thousands of dollars for both individuals in need as well as organizations. Shawnna isn't just a community member she is an Icon!

Well Hello I’m Shawnna and Although I really Hate doing this but I am in time of … Shawnna Alexander needs your support for Assist Shawnna in Her Time of Need

Sometimes I go into a shoot and I think I know exactly what I'm doing and I deliver a set of images that at the time I was really proud of, but as time goes on I have gotten better and learned so much more. So this is a revisit to a portrait I shot back in 2019/2020 of my close friend and I can't wait to see her do her thing at next week!

This is from a series of photos I took for the Baltimore Eagle a while back. I haven't really shared a lot of them, so I dug them out to share now. I've been getting ready for today and I'm so excited! This image is for all of my sexy bootblacks.

It's Wednesday! There was a time I had the pleasure to do some work at ! This image of was taken back in 2014(?) and it was the last Preakness I attended.

This reminds me how many clients I have lost due to undiagnosed mental illnesses. There was a time I was so booked I had to schedule time to edit. Things are quieter but sustainable now.
