Your stories are worth preserving.

Ani and Ryan are one of the families Brit and I are featuring in our project “This is Home: Preserving Queer Families in Indianapolis“.

Meeting Bea and creating this art together was such a joy.  When planning her senior photos, Bea was looking for a callback to her NYC childhood while honoring her creative, artistic curiosity.
