My Studio inclusivity statement

You Are Welcome Here

I’m a person who carries a lot of privilege - I’m a White, cisgendered woman married to a man. I do my best to recognize and acknowledge my privilege, and to use it to create a space that is as welcoming and inclusive as possible for the individuals that I work with.

I will always work to be the most inclusive, safe space I can be. Here is what I promise to you:

• I’m a body-positive and fat-positive feminist, and I celebrate people of all body shapes, sizes, and ages.

• I’m an LGBTQIA+ affirming photographer, and I welcome people of all genders to my studio including trans folks, gender-fluid people, and gender non-binary folx.

• I am committed to pursuing anti-racism and combating White supremacy in both my work life and personal life (and I recognize that this learning will never be finished). If you’d like to know what this looks like for me right now, I’m always happy to share more.

• Fuck ice. I’m doing what I can to support my neighbors and community right now (and if you need ideas, I’m happy to share more).

• You are welcome here regardless of your religion, race, cultural or ethnic background, citizenship status, sexual orientation, profession, or physical ability.

• I am pro choice and support your right to abortion — to anyone who has had or will have an abortion/s in the future: you deserve safety, care, and love, and you are welcomed here.

• If my photography is inaccessible to you because of cost, I take on a limited number of pro bono session each year - you can apply for one here!

Overall, I do my best to be an inclusive and empowering photographer. You deserve to be validated and seen, to feel safe, and to be celebrated without judgement. I’m here to tell your story with love and respect.
