"Baby's Breath" is a project where we celebrate and bring visibility to the Transgender community. Baby's Breath has often been used to symbolize rebirth, innocence, and everlasting love. The theory behind the name comes from how delicate and small the flowers are in contrast to the flowers they are supposed to accent.


Using the Renaissance era of painting as my inspiration I have incorporated the same near religious reverence that was placed on their subjects into these photos by using baby’s breath and halos to adorn Transgender people. I have also taken inspiration from Renaissance paintings' usage of botanical and color symbolism.

Being Trans is not a monolithic experience, therefore this is an ongoing project.
