Survivors Gala

I was honored to be invited to photograph this gala for domestic abuse survivors at the Kimpton Marlowe hotel. Being able to help share people’s stories and amplify their voices is a big part of why I became a photographer. Especially in cases of abuse, where someone can be so controlled and silenced, speaking out holds a lot of power.

They held an auction for the organization, and gave awards to community members who made huge changes in their lives and recognized their achievements. You can see the tight bonds between people, and it warms my heart. I’m so glad I got to be part of the evening!
