Portrait Mami

Ava Phillippe

Words cannot express how thrilled I was on my last day in Honolulu to finally shoot a trans model. This was a goal of mine for a few months, but I could never find one or when I did, our schedules never came together to create something. I feel so lucky and so honored to capture this. A few years ago, I used to be extremely closed minded to the idea of what it meant to be trans. But when I met Jordan...to see the beautiful confidence that she had, to see how happy she is...it finally made sense. I cannot imagine the emotional damage of how it must feel to be born and be physically trapped inside a body that you know does not belong to you. And I further applaud people who take the courage and necessary steps to become what they know they are destined to be. To finally break those barriers and spread their wings. Thank you so much for this privilege, Jordan and being such an amazing, empowering young woman🌸
