Hi there, I’m Que! I’m a nonbinary photographer based out of AR. My journey into this world starts with a younger version of myself whose imagination was too big to contain. I wrote stories and drew pictures about dragons, friendships, exploring. As I aged, my writing shifted from an innocent imagination to figuring out how to cope with lessons on “growing up.” A gracious space to let my thoughts and feelings roam free, without judgement.
Hi, I’m Mae, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. I’m a nomadic photographer and storyteller with roots in Brooklyn, always ready to follow love wherever it leads.

Same-sex couples have been able to marry in every state since the Supreme Court’s 2015 Obergefell decision. The Respect for Marriage Act added federal protection in 2022, and in November 2025 the Supreme Court declined to hear a case that asked it to revisit Obergefell. Your marriage is legal, and it’s recognized in every state.
