To say that Katlin is my favorite go-to model is an understatement. The girl is a stylist’s dream come true, bringing professionalism, grace, & vision into every look she attempts. Katlin looks great in my clothes not just because she’s a pro at posing & form, but because she’s passionate about style as an art. She’s always on the next level, & for that, I’m her biggest fan!
Truly adaptable, I’ve seen her turn from martian to Victorian waif in a single shoot! The most inspiring attribute she brings, though, is fortitude. If she was a Planeteer she’d be righteous Ma-Ti, crushing with the power of heart! In an industry full of competition, a positive, friendly attitude like her’s is always welcome.
It’s astounding to see how much Katlin’s accomplished in her short career, on her own, through persistence, kindness, & good old-fashioned hard work! I literally can’t wait to witness what the future holds for her!
Katlin has worked diligently to get a number of our collaborations into print. The images here are published in the most recent issue of alt NOIR Magazine.

I had the opportunity to style this feature in issue #07 of Giuseppina Magazine! This was the anniversary issue & content was focused on gay pride! My dear & talented friend Katlin Sumners submitted these photos along with an article on the subject, here is what she has to say:
“This issue of Giuseppina Magazine was a focus on the Gay Pride anniversary…. Which means that there is a 2 page spread featuring not just photos of me in it, but more importantly, a personal narrative article I wrote concerning my upbringing in a same-sex household and how life has changed since my childhood in the 1990s, and present-day for the gay community. I am beyond excited about this because it allowed me to share a brief glimpse into my personal life, and thoughts and childhood experience.
So yes, this means I am much more excited then I would be about a normal piece, because this is much more cherished because this is part of my past as well as present.”

A kaleidoscope of colours contrasting under a big-top tent sky.. Here, a tale of carnival comradery unfolds!
Staring Svetlankia, a sultry Slavic bride too brazen for the shackles of goat-herd village-arranged matrimony..
..and Madam Vorzheva, a classically-trained pipe-organ grinder turned horse-vaulter.
Both abandoned the calamity that was, & maybe still is, their former selves-to-be, in exchange for the daring pursuit of Carny concession! Reborn figuratively & metaphysically, their spirit-souls join in jubilant union.. they are The Incredible Unjoined Conjoined Triplets (Sans One)!!
