For those of you who do know me — pretend I’m giving you a kiss on the forehead, I love you.

For those who don’t know me — my name is Quiana. I go by a lot of names: QuiQui, Qui, Kwana, Q, the list goes on. Whatever feels comfortable for you! I’m 29, my birthday is in September (shoutout libras!), summer is my least favorite season, pink is my favorite color (but if you ask me later, it might be orange or yellow), and I’m a speech therapist. I am a Lakewood transplant from Massillon, where I grew up. I moved to the Cleveland area for grad school and never left. I’m a big lover girl — love my family, love my friends, love love. As I get older, I have come to realize that my ability to feel as deeply as I do is not a flaw, but a gift to be able to see you in a way that you may have not seen before. My hope is that you give me the opportunity to showcase the love that flows through you and onto everybody around you through photos.

Say cheese, don’t blink!
