Taking Pictures, Celebrating You, Just the Way You Are: This is Emily’s Story

This week, we chat with Emily April Allen, a queer photographer whose work highlights the people and stories of Nashville’s LGBTQ+ community. From intimate portraits to documentary projects, Emily captures authenticity, resilience, and the beauty of being yourself. As she prepares to become a mother, Emily shares her honest thoughts on balancing art and family, and what it means to hold onto her queerness within a more traditional-looking path.
