 "queer love forever. 
watch us grow. watch us thrive.our love is homemade.it is magic and it is mighty."

i love our queer family. this album is a collection of images that celebrate and center our stories.

visibility is crucial. a visual learner myself, i grew up pouring over my mother's collection of annie leibovitz coffee table books. they were a place of solace and a window into so many worlds beyond the white, straight, upper-middle class suburbs where i lived. as a multiracial queer person, exposure to those images was medicine.

home//made is a project founded in visibility and reverence for these families and their stories. this is everyday life.
our home//made family photo album will continue to build, and will eventually become a book in which children and adults can see families just like theirs, and/or learn about people who live far beyond the bounds of their environment's imagination.
