Allow myself to introduce … myself. My name is Vanessa and I am a queer photographer, stylist, character creator, wildlife rehabilitator, wig collector, and now owner of Misfit Studio, located in the south Minneapolis Ivy Arts Building. I offer services in portrait, pet, and product photography.

But Misfit Studio will not be JUST a studio. My goal is that it be not only a place to create, but also an inclusive space for marginalized (nay, UNTAPPED) professionals in the photo, video, and styling industry, including (but not limited to) queer, trans, BIPOC, and womxn. My hope is for us to connect with, learn from, and support each other in ways that we might not find in abundance elsewhere.

Stay tuned, as Misfit Studio will eventually be hosting events at the space led by other skilled members of the industry to lead Q & A's, offer learning opportunities to curious or new members of the industry, and provide an empowering space that fosters creativity and individuality.
