Collage with diverse scenes: a person in colorful mermaid attire in water, two individuals in gothic costumes in a shopping cart, a person lounging in roller skates and angel wings, a close-up of a watch on a wrist, a person in black attire with tattoos outdoors, two people embracing, an orange flower, and a person roller skating in a parking area.

For many years, I stood before the camera, becoming the subject of my own story. But in the quiet spaces between those moments, I felt a calling — a desire to return behind the lens, where I could craft a realm where all who enter are met with empowerment and acceptance. It is here, within this sacred space, that I pour my soul into creating an atmosphere where you are free to step into your truest self, unburdened by the world’s expectations.

I weave each session with intention, ensuring that you feel not just welcome, but cherished — like a cherished myth, ancient and revered. Every detail, from the lighting to the space itself, is designed to make you feel safe, adored, and truly seen. In this place, you are not merely a subject; you are a story, and it is my deepest honor to capture you in all your glory, allowing you to feel both powerful and vulnerable, all at once.

Photography is the art of capturing moments that transcend time, allowing us to step into them again and again, like living within the echoes of a forgotten dream. It is my mission to bring your most cherished visions to life, whether they are intimate boudoir tales whispered in shadow or the sacred vows of an elopement beneath an ancient sky. With each click of the shutter, I strive to turn your deepest desires into tangible memories, immortalizing your love, your story, and the magic that resides within you.

My photography style is woven with the threads of darkness and light, where shadows dance and colors bleed with an ethereal, almost vintage allure. I embrace the mood — a haunting, cinematic atmosphere that evokes emotion and depth. Through my lens, I seek to capture not just moments, but the raw, unspoken stories that lie beneath the surface. Each image is a reflection of genuine emotion, a candid glimpse into your soul, told through a tapestry of light, color, and timeless authenticity.

Meet your Photographer

Greetings, wanderer! I am Dominque, though in the whispers of my closest companions, I am known simply as Domo. I am a creature of oddities, one who finds solace in the strange and the beautiful, where imagination flows freely like an endless river of stars. I revel in the art of thinking beyond the veil, capturing moments that transcend the ordinary and transform them into something truly extraordinary. It is my mission to honor your life's journey — whether your tales are simple or woven with the weight of monumental change.

My love affair with photography began in the shadowed corners of a darkroom, where I first encountered the magic of film and the alchemy of light. Since those days in high school, the art has been my constant companion, guiding me through the ebb and flow of time. Beyond the lens, I find myself wandering through enchanted forests, sipping the nectar of forgotten trees (or perhaps just coffee), casting discs into the wind, and losing myself in the pages of ancient books. When the moon is high and the stars are aligned, you'll find me curled up with my partner, indulging in the fantastical worlds of anime or bringing life to the pages with colors that bleed like dreamscapes.

I seek to weave your story with the threads of magic, to capture the whispers of your achievements and adventures — both the small and the grand — as they unfold like chapters in an epic saga. Through my lens, I don't simply take photographs; I breathe life into them, immortalizing your essence in the shadows and light of your own mythos.

I introduce to you our in companions for this journey
