The Kidd Creations

Chicago showed OUT for the Season 7 premiere of The Chi — and I had the honor of capturing every unforgettable moment 📸✨

Being one of the photographers for this powerful, community-rooted event was truly surreal. Watching The Chi, a show that authentically represents our city and stories, has always meant so much to me. But seeing my favorite actors live, right in front of my lens? That’s a moment I’ll never forget 🙌🏾

Thank you to Ms. Johnson ( ) and Englewood Music Fest ( ) for curating a space that celebrated not only the show, but the incredible talent rising right from our neighborhoods. This night was a true love letter to Chicago 🖤

From the Heart of a Black Woman: A Valentine’s Reflection

Two years ago, I created this shoot without realizing its significance. Armed with my camera, lighting, and a vision, I prayed for guidance—and the results spoke for themselves.

I chose to step beyond traditional Valentine’s themes, using the model’s hair as a framing element to create depth and contrast. More than anything, I wanted to highlight the richness of her skin—celebrating Black beauty in an industry that often demands conformity. The light heart shapes on her face symbolized self-love, while her gaze carried the emotion I sought—not a smile, but a story told through her eyes.

This project helped me find my creative voice and reaffirm my place in this industry. Every time doubt creeps in, I look at work like this and know I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
