@jamesmithimage61 and I started working together over 20 years ago and along the way we became great friends and have had many an adventure together in multiple capitals mind you. We often bonded through our common neurosis. 😂

What I love most about James’s work is that he captured an entire chapter of trans photography in New York throughout the 2000s and 2010s—he is the keeper of an era that’s very specific and detailed and charged with high voltage glam images.

And these images are very much my mood of the time: Roberto Cavalli, exagrerated animal prints, gloss and candy coloured excess. Subtilité was never the point. More was more, and then we alwats added a little more.

Somehow James also managed to make me look like a hybrid of Laura Leon and Jocelyn Wildensteiin in these shots which I will be forever grateful for.

James just needs a look and he can construct a whole set just with a pair of bras and panties, I tell you. A great friend and talent.

I hope your 2000s were equally over the top!

2025 Wrapped: Client edition✨ some looks you’ve seen, some looks you haven’t (yet)😉
I just want to take this moment to thank everyone who sat in my chair in 2025. Thank you for trusting me with your precious faces. Shoutout to the incredible photographers that I’ve had the opportunity to work with. To the executive producers and people behind the scenes who don’t get the credit but make everything happen.
I think I did more makeup in 2025 than I’ve done in a while and I’m so proud of that.
Believe me, this isn’t even all of them and doesn’t even touch the surface of the work I do for my ballroom family, Alpha Omega.
I am so absolutely blessed to be able to do what I love for a living. 2026 is full speed ahead on following my dreams to the fullest extent!
I can’t wait to see who sits in my chair this year✨
