Womxn of Color in Boudoir – Part 2
How might boudoir photography sessions be tailored to cater specifically to the needs and experiences of women of color? Boudoir photography is dominated by White cisgender women.

In Honor of Joyce Bryant
Have you heard of The Joyce Bryant? She was an icon that became an Ancestor at the age of 95 in November.
