​Hi! My name is Akyera, but you can call me AK. 

​ You clicked on the 'about AK' tab, so I supposed I should give you a quick dump of a bio. I'm a: queer, creative story teller. portrait photographer (of 10 years!!). sister. auntie. feeler. friend. follower of Jesus. + justice seeker. Community is beautiful to me and I love living in an area where people know and love their neighbors.

I'm the oldest of five and being a sister is my absolute favorite thing in the world. I went to undergrad for social work and my full time job is at a nonprofit organization as a youth development practitioner. I used to work at a coffee shop and have become so particular about the craft, but my go to drink is an iced oatmilk latte with cinnamon and honey.

I love being intentional and vulnerable, paying attention to details, and getting to know people-- to a point where these passions show up in almost every area of my life.

There are countless talented photographers in our region with different specialties, but the truth is... every story is equally special to me. I've covered corporate events for promotions and sports games for action shots. I've traveled to homes for last minute family photos while a loved one's on hospice. I've seen married people cry, mothers bear their children, and graduates do the dang thing!

So... come on over here! Click the button below... it's story time. :)
