Hi guys,

I just wanted to pass along some photos of a quick project I did in tandem with Vancouver is Awesome and Telus for Pride week here in Vancouver.

I was asked to take a few of portraits the week before the Pride Parade. The individuals I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to meet are all local leaders who exemplify the inclusion and visibility of the LGBTQA2+ community.

I'm sure a few of you have had the chance to see the images already, but I wanted to compile their images together here on my blog. It was a cool little project and a bit more eye-opening to me as I am not quite aware of everything and everyone that is a part of the fabric that is the lower mainland. I'm always interested to hear about the lives of individuals and what amazing things they are doing to change our community for the better.

You can find out more about these amazing leaders here.
