Hi friends! I’m working on a project this weekend and could use some help from my performer friends. If you’re going to be in drag this weekend and wouldn’t mind helping me out for a few seconds please shoot me a dm. 😍

To say I’m obsessed with how these turned out would be an understatement. 😍Featuring River City Pride headliners show 7.18.26 ❤️💛💚💙💜

As I’m making my way through the headliners show at River City Pride, I decided to give each performer their own post instead of one big dump, because they all deserve to be highlighted individually. First up- aka Victor VonVicious tearing it up on the main stage like always. 🤘🏼Proud of you, my friend! You always bring the best energy to the stage. ❤️💛💚💙💜

Please read in regards to River City Pride! 🌈
It was truly an honor to be asked to be one of the photographers for Pride this year. It was a long, hot day but I enjoyed every second of capturing key moments and I cannot wait to share all of them with you.

I’ve already received several messages about the pictures. If you performed on the main stage, you can guarantee I have pictures for you. With that being said, please keep in mind I have THOUSANDS of pictures to go through from that day. With motion photography, we have to take several photos to capture the performers at just the right moment to get a good one and I edit each one individually to ensure that the pictures look as good as possible. So, please be patient with me getting them to you as I have so many to go through while having a full time job and being a single mom to three wonderful children.

I can promise it is a huge priority for me to get these out to the performer’s as quickly as possible. Thank you all for your support, love, and understanding. You were all amazing as always and I’m so proud of our community for pushing through the deadly heat while keeping a positive attitude. If you have any questions feel free to reach me out to me.

Much love ✌🏼

Central IL has a lot of incredible drag shows happening this weekend, but you can catch me at these two. It also happens to be my birthday weekend, and I’m grateful to spend it celebrating with this community and the performers who make these spaces so meaningful.

If you’d like to come celebrate with me, the best way is by showing up and supporting local drag. And if you can’t make it — or if you want to support my work, or you’ve been photographed by me in the past and would like to leave a birthday tip — my Cash App and Venmo are below. 😘

👑 Miss Diesel 2026 👑

I’m so excited to finally share these photos from the recent Mr. & Miss Diesel Pageant, featuring your newly crowned Miss Diesel 2026 — Frankie Monroe ShareAlike.

I could not be more proud of my friend. Frankie poured her entire heart and soul into this package and truly left zero crumbs. Every detail, every moment, every ounce of passion was on that stage.

Not only is Frankie one of the most talented performers I’ve ever had the privilege of watching, she also has a heart of gold. She shows up for the people in her life every single time, gives the most thoughtful advice, and carries such a calm, uplifting and positive energy wherever she goes.

I truly couldn’t think of anyone more deserving to represent our community this year.

Congratulations, my friend. I love you & I'm so proud of you. 🖤✨

After about 60 hours of a lot of love and labor I'm finally finished editing all the photos from the Mr. & Miss Diesel pageant. I didn't have the heart to cut the amount of them down because there were WAY too many amazing shots (over 500). 🥲 Stay tuned tomorrow for the first drop. I cannot wait to share them with you all!! 😘
