LGBTQ+ portrait & Headshot photographer in denver

Photos that honor you as you are.

let's connect

If you’re here, photos may have felt complicated.

Maybe you’ve avoided them, or past experiences felt rushed, awkward, or misaligned.



Being photographed hasn’t always felt comfy — or easy.

For many queer and gender-expansive people, being in front of a camera can bring nerves or a fear of being misunderstood — especially during moments of visibility or transition.

You’re not broken for feeling this way.

You’re responding to experiences that weren’t built with you in mind.

The good news is: your photos can feel affirming, grounding, and real.

What if being photographed felt calm instead of tense?

What if you could show up as you aresoft or strong, quiet or playful — and feel supported every step of the way?

These sessions are designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re stepping into something new or simply wanting images that feel honest and familiar.

In their words

-NGOC

If you're QTPOC and looking for an affirming photographer, I highly recommend Queer Joy Photo.

"Brody made my first official photoshoot such a warm and safe experience."

This space is for you if you’re:

  • A high school senior or young adult stepping into a new chapter

  • An LGBTQ+ professional wanting photos that feel confident and human


  • A therapist, healer, or care worker seeking images aligned with your values

  • A creative, artist, or freelancer wanting expressive, authentic portraits

  • Updating dating photos that feel natural, warm, and true

  • Exploring or celebrating gender identity or transition

  • Simply wanting photos where you feel comfortable being yourself

What if your photos reflected who you authentically are right now?

You don’t need a special reason — just a desire to be seen with care.

In their words

-Clare

I often feel awkward and unsure in front of a camera, and they helped me feel safe and comfortable to be myself. My goals for these photos were to be approachable, authentic, and human, and their encouragement and reassurance really supported that, on top of their incredible talent as a photographer. 

"Brody did an AMAZING job taking new headshots and professional photos of me!!"

"Brody is truly one of a kind! "

Their sweet and uplifting energy made our time photographing together feel natural and fun.

More about brody

I’m a queer, non-binary photographer who understands that there isn’t one right way to be yourself.

My work is grounded in respect for who you are and how you move through the world — emotionally, creatively, and in your own time. I create space where you don’t have to explain or justify yourself, and where you’re met with care rather than assumptions.

I’m here to document you as you are, in all of your nuance and becoming.


Hey, I'm Brody (they/them) 

Are you ready to step into images that feel true?

The world doesn’t always make room for queer existence.

You still deserve to be seen with care.
I’m here to photograph you in ways that feel respectful, affirming, and true to who you are.
