I think I've got most of the style down for the holiday sessions coming up on November 7th and 8th. There's still a few tweaks to be made, but this is the sort of style I'm going with this year! Lots of blues, golds, and deep reds.
Here's the link to book a session with this set AND to visit with Santa and get photos with him too!:

Enjoy the collage of bloopers/bad takes too. 😁

Dionysus was known as the God of w**e, festivity, madness, vegetation, pleasure, and wild frenzy. Just reading about some of the stories about him he seems almost like a trickster sort of God. He made multiple of his enemies go crazy or made others go into a wild frenzy to destroy his enemy for him. He's may be most well known for w**e and festivities but I do NOT want to be on his bad side, no thank you.
Austin was all about this shoot once I suggested this character. He put the outfit together wonderfully and understood what I was asking for. Also, he went to grab my flash I left outside because sometimes I'm forgetful - thank you, Austin!!

Okay everyone, what do YOU want??

I am looking for some help in choosing my theme for my winter/holiday mini sessions. Each photo as a name/theme listed on it, so take a peek and let me know what one YOU would like best.

I think any of these three themes would be fun to create, but I want you all to choose.

Give me your votes in the comments! 👇

*ALL photos in this post were captured by me.*

If you're in the performance industry I'm here to capture your next show, get creative with you for the next creative art you need, and to probably share too many technical things while I work with you.

I will play with different lighting and techniques if you're up for it, and I've worked in all different types of lighting conditions (think crazy harsh sun to orange-y lit rooms).

If you need something other than what I've listed on the last image, reach out to me to discuss it, I'm always open to it.

Aphrodite - The goddess of Love, Beauty, Pleasure, and Procreation.
I envision her being bubbly and sweet, but definitely having an attitude and power to get her way in situations.
I pictured Aphrodite at a fair/carnival type setting and definitely wearing pink and sparkly things. As a bonus, Pompey (the model) had shell earrings! If you know one of Aphrodite's creation stories you know she's often associated with seashells, so that was fantastic.

Phoebe, Titaness of "the bright intellect," and sometimes considered the Goddess of Prophecy. But I think she was more than that.
I think she was wise but scattered. A bit like a Luna Lovegood character - you know she's very smart but seems a bit aloof as well. So that was the inspiration for this shoot - "a bit like Luna Lovegood" and "a bit like Professor Trelawney."
Phoebe was known as an Oracle at Delphi and was associated with the moon, but not the embodiment of the moon as Selene was. She's typically not noted in a lot of the Greek myths, but if she is it's that she's connected to knowledge beyond the veil, allowing her to understand past, present, and future.
Jessica Bailey and I planned this outfit so well! Jessica would send me images and it took us a bit to find the vibe that I wanted to portray, but when we got there we knew it. And the pants, THE PANTS.

Selene - Goddess of the Moon.

She IS the moon.

She is wise, beautiful, and sometimes...vengeful.

Tonight will mark 6 years of capturing the Candlelight Vigil for Su***de Loss.

6 years that I've seen people gather and mourn their lost loved ones.

6 years I've seen the heartbreak on their faces.

6 years I've captured them with messages for their loves ones.

6 years.

September is Su***de Prevention Month. It's not a topic people like to discuss but it is definitely worth knowing about. If you're worried about a loved one speak up.

Speaking for myself, as someone who has suffered from depression, sometimes I really feel like everyone may be better off without me. One less obstacle in their way, one less thing to mess up their lives. It's deeper than that, and it's not every day I feel this way, but it happens sometimes.

So I may understand some feelings of those we've lost, but I also see the pain and hurt to those who are left behind.

For 6 years I've been able to see both sides, and it hurts no matter which side I'm looking at.

Check in on your friends and loved ones. Learn signs of depression and su***de.

And if you yourself are feeling like you're in a dark, colorless place today, remember that it can get better. Look around you, see the love trying to reach you, and try to let the color soak back into your world. 💜🩵💜🩵💜
