the sun may have set on summer, but the heat’s not going anywhere 🔥 this is KovarX week 🩲

this week: KovarX

Queerness unlocks possibility.  It unravels what’s been divided, reshapes what’s been forced into form, and makes space for truths that don’t fit. Anniversary Special: ✨ $100 off creative sessions for return clients ✨ $50 off headshot sessions for return clients defyingbinaries.com

A year ago, I picked up my camera again. Over the course of 115 shoots, we’ve built a gallery of moments that are more than photographs — they are proof. Proof that beauty lives in truth. That queerness holds endless possibilities. That we are, all of us, worth being seen. defyingbinaries.com

1 year. 115 shoots. Countless moments that will stay with me. This year has been a love letter to queer bodies, bold expression, and the beauty of being fully seen. defyingbinaries.com

a year behind the lens — it’s time to celebrate #anniversaryweek #queerphotography

Seven days of new headshots, seven days of people realizing ‘oh... this is what I actually look like on camera.’ $150 sessions that are casual, modern, and 100% you—just better lit. defyingbinaries.com/booking

First impressions happen fast. Like, 0.3 seconds fast. This kind of headshot says ‘I’m professional and approachable’—not ‘I cropped this from a wedding photo.’ $150 sessions. Clean, current, and ready to work as hard as you do. defyingbinaries.com/booking

Not every headshot has to whisper ‘corporate.’ Some shout color, creativity, and confidence. $150 sessions that highlight what makes you unforgettable. defyingbinaries.com/booking

Who said headshots have to look like passport photos? This one says CEO of vibes, founder of mood. $150 sessions with a cinematic edge—because sometimes your story deserves drama, not cheese. defyingbinaries.com/booking

Networking tip: people remember smiles more than job titles. This headshot says approachable, modern, and human—like the kind of teammate you actually want to grab coffee with. $150 sessions that keep it natural while still looking professional. defyingbinaries.com/booking

Your headshot should pop as much as your personality. Bright colors, bold styling, big energy—this isn’t ‘smile politely for the directory,’ it’s ‘hire me, collaborate with me, fund my startup.’ $150 sessions. Because professional doesn’t have to mean boring. defyingbinaries.com/booking

Back to school. Back to work. Back to pretending you like your old headshot. Let’s fix that. $150 sessions designed to be quick, comfortable, and polished for LinkedIn or your company’s website. defyingbinaries.com/booking
