Chicago’s Drag Brunch Photographer
Snatched Light Photo is a Chicago-based LGBTQ+ photographer dedicated to capturing the bold, the brilliant, and the beautifully unfiltered moments that make our community shine.
What We Do
From high-energy drag brunches to unforgettable nightlife events, I specialize in documenting experiences where self-expression is celebrated and authenticity takes center stage.
Photography, for me, isn’t just about images—it’s about storytelling. It’s about honoring queer artistry, uplifting performers, and giving people photos that feel as vibrant and alive as the moments themselves. Whether I’m shooting a drag queen mid-high-kick, a crowd roaring during a brunch reveal, or an intimate behind-the-scenes moment, my goal is always the same: to preserve the magic.
Our Values
Chicago’s creative scene fuels everything I do. From the Loop to Andersonville, from rooftop brunches to underground shows, this city is overflowing with culture, character, and queer brilliance. I’m proud to be part of a community of artists, performers, and dreamers who push boundaries and redefine what celebration looks like.
As a queer creator myself, I bring a deep understanding of our spaces—from the pacing of a drag performance to the energy of a packed brunch crowd. I know the beats, the angles, the anticipation, and the joy. That insight allows me to capture moments others might miss..
