I shared some photos and reflections from my recent couples shoot with @reverenceintimates.bsky.social over on IG. Check it out if you love Black/queer/disabled/poly love 🥰

Ok orders received! Although, to be fair, @reverenceintimates.bsky.social took this particular thirst trap, which is why it's ART, too (and I'm so incredibly grateful, this was part of a very fun shoot that challenged me to try something I've not really done before). 🤠

Fat lightskin Black woman with curly hair and glasses faces away from the camera smiling over her shoulder. She wears pink lingeries and stands on a rug in the woods holding a large gold frame over her butt

The world is shit but this picture @reverenceintimates.bsky.social took of me while glamping is incredible. Please enjoy.

Four people stroll arm-in-arm thru a grassy field. Two are dressed as dapper Regency-era gentlemen, in top hats and tailcoats. The other two are beautiful Femmes in flowy dresses.

A gentlethey bites their fist in barely suppressed longing as they feed a cupcake to a buxom woman.

Four people sit at a picnic table, toasting with crystal glasses. They are dressed in Regency-era clothing and situated in a grassy meadow between oak trees.

The gentlethey in top hats and tailcoat kneels in front of a woman in a flowing dress and holding a parasol.

Grateful to have friends who prioritize queer joy & silliness in the midst of a lot of hard work/times. All credit to @reverenceintimates.bsky.social for the incredible photos. Queer Polyamorous Bridgerton: Season 2

lol yes! Kind of like when a cat just stares at the corner, you're like "Okay..... what's going on over there? Actually, I don't want to know."

(2/2) You're probably hearing a lot of messages about how you aren't worthy, but let me be clear, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. You 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨. And I will continue to support and love and value you both professionally and personally with every bit of influence and platform that I have or ever will have.

Close up image of a Latinx trans masc person who is wearing a thick leather harness and glasses who is sitting in front of a dark teal backdrop. They dark hair and a dark beard and have a smattering of silver star freckles on their face, and are looking off screen.

(1/2) To my trans clients, my clients with darker skin tones, my disabled clients, my clients who are queer, my clients in larger bodies, and my clients who are in other marginalized identities; 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂. The world needs your magic, your softness, your determination, your YOU.

(3/3) The act of doing something important for yourself is what 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘴 you feel more confident, not waiting until you ✨magically✨ feel confident. Start acting like a person who loves yourself and your body, and I promise, you'll begin to 𝙗𝙚 a person who loves yourself and your body.

(2/?) We often think that our actions must follow our thoughts, but our thoughts are actually more likely to follow our actions. So you don't have to wait until you feel good enough or confident enough for a portrait session, and you 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 don't need to lose weight or change your appearance.

Black & white image of a Black woman with short curly natural hair in a larger body, wearing a mesh playsuit, twirling a large flogger. She has on black glasses and dark lipstick, and is smiling saucily at the camera. There is a black censor bar across her chest that says "This is beautiful art."

(1/?) 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁? 🤫 99.9% of the people you think are wildly confident merely 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 confident (sometimes for years) before they actually 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 confident. And that's freeing, isn't it?

Reminder for my Madison area followers: my artist talk with @reverenceintimates.bsky.social at @artlitlab.bsky.social is now this Wednesday Feb 19 6-8pm after being cancelled last week due to snow. Hope to see you there!

Hey yall, due to weather we are rescheduling this for next Wednesday Feb 19 from 6-8pm. Same time, same place, different date!

A white woman with long light brown hair is wearing a long line black bra with black pantyhose and has a faux fur wrap draped around her waist. She is sitting in front of a floral backdrop. She is in profile to the camera

I love photographing folks in front of this insanely beautiful backdrop. It lends a renaissance feel to every subject!

A Latina woman with dark brown medium length hair and black lipstick is in a sheer black string bikini top and g-string. Her tattoos are visible. There is a faint outline of trees behind her on what appears to be a dark olive background, and a faint halo around her head. She is in motion and her head is tilted back slightly and she is smiling.

You are a work of art 🖼️ ❤️

An image of a white woman with dark brown & grey hair wearing a light orange waffle henley long-sleeved tee and a gold necklace. She is mid-laugh, and her eyes are closed and she is tilting her head back as she laughs and her hands are in motion. The background is dark behind her.

I love the pure ✨JOY✨ in this photo

𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 + 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆: Shame thrives when we think we’re alone in our struggles. When healing your relationship with your body, it helps to be surrounded by a caring community of queer folks with similar lived experiences who are working on the same goal. This kind of support is vital! We got you!

Disabled. People. Aren't. The. Problem.

Dear Trans Kids, You Don't Need the Government's Permission to Exist Activist and journalist Raquel Willis offers crucial advice to trans and non-binary youth.

No one gave us our identities and no one can take them away. www.teenvogue.com/story/dear-t...

I think a lot of people have mutual aid confused with charity on here, maybe because folks most often see it in the context of fundraiser asks (which are great!).

I want to talk a little about what it looks like in everyday life.

Because we need it more than ever. Government is getting shredded.

An image edited in a retro style of a white non-binary person with short grey hair wearing a regency-era style outfit including top hat, a Black woman with short black curly hair in a larger body size wearing a fancy old-fashioned dress in greens and pastels holding a white lace parasol, and a white woman with brown hair wearing a peach colored old-fashioned dress holding a bunch of lavender. They are in front of a prairie with trees visible in the background.

Remember that one time @drsamischalk.bsky.social & @millbot.bsky.social and I did a queer, poly Bridgerton-themed shoot? Me too. It was awesome! Here's to more fun photos in 2025, celebrating queerness and joy!
