What is Safe Space Photo?


Hiiiiiii! My name is Brit and I’m a LGBTQ+ photographer in Sacramento, CA who wanted to create more than just pretty pictures.

It was truly like a light bulb going off above my head

I was sitting on the couch with my then girlfriend (now wife), contemplating my career choices, and it was like a light switch went off. Mind you, this was shortly after the pandemic happened and a photo business idea had already flopped before it even started. I was in that “What am I doing as a photographer?” phase, when it just hit me. Why don’t I connect more with cool LGBTQ+ & non-traditional humans through taking their photos in a space where they can truly be themselves? I’ve heard so many horror stories of people feeling super weird and uncofmy because the photographer made it that way. Ew. No. Who want’s that?! I’ll put the end to that right here!

I’m not just a photographer..

Photography has always been in my life since I was 16. It never felt like just something I did for fun like a hobby, but something I was always meant to do, like a sixth sense. I was the one that took the group photos, but my instincts kicked in and turned into a full blown photo shoot. Hyped everyone up, made sure their hair wasn’t a mess, fixed collars/pockets, and had everyone laughing. Creating a whole vibe rather than documenting a simple time.

I’m your friend that will not stand for lame photos for an AWESOME person.

Safe Space Photo was made for YOU

Created by a artsy queer for other like minded humans that want to experience a photo shoot where pronouns are respected, and the posing feels natural.

  1. If a pose feels weird, we PIVOT (IYKYK) finding what feels good for you

  2. To be expected: Millennial dad jokes and YASSS quota will be met

  3. Being your authentic self is required and embraced 24/7

This is your sign to actually book that session with your partner, chosen/blended family, or for YOURSELF. Have an idea that you’ve had for awhile and looking for the right photographer? Hi, it’s me!

Any of this resonate with you?

I’d love to yap about your idea for a photo shoot. EVEN if you’re not in the Sacramento CA area, reach out anyway. I do love traveling, especially if it’s to create art with cool people.
