I need more strong warriors in my creative live, adorned with the harsh and soft of armor and florals. I am looking at my first personal pieces of armor that isn't scalemail (though it remains my favorite). .

Beautifully macabre things. Sessions where my co-creators say, 'I really want to do X' are the best. For the arts I will most likely say, 'Do it.' That is the idea. Do it! Do it because the happy mistakes can be the best. Channel your inner Bob Ross!
.
I want to quit more often than I want to create these days... Self doubt has been kicking me in the teeth, and I spend more time on the Ifs, and whys, and should I's. The question most on my mind is, "Am I doing it right?" But what is 'right'? I am a mother to an almost ten year old who is on her own journey of self discovery and why. I am a future wife of a man that struggles with his own physical pain I cannot ease. I am an artist that is struggling to find inspiration.
Overall, I am learning to be present- to be joyful in the moments that are easy or difficult, without putting restrictions on the why. I need to be happy for myself, instead of being happy because others are.
Question of the day- How do you define your happiness?

I do declare this... Mini Appreciation Day!
Being a photographer's daughter must be a trial, but for this one, she was all about it. The flowers are originally yellow but I wanted it to be blue and orange. Go figure when it is almost spring. Oops.
The makeup was done by Envy - Writer & Model, big thanks to her for her patience and skill.
The outfit is completed with a thrifted dress, a necklace from walmart, and two pieces from designers I admire- the unicorn horn from idolatre clothing co. and the orb ring from Creationsbyacat.

A Wednesday winning share of Katarina dressed to kill with hair, makeup and accessories from (On IG). I am obsessed with Gina's take of Ravenna, it could not be any more epic. Missing working with these two ladies!
Happy Christmas to you and yours this season!
Playing with prisms with Margo this weekend. Froze a little for the arts, but it was nice to meet another creative that trusted my vision of what she coined 'Death's bride.'
My final idea for working with FolleFée's Valkyrie design was to have this column combination of all the shoots. Each of the models I worked with brought out a different character to their idea of a Valkyrie.
Photo one is with Envy - Writer & Model and some plunder from High Point crafts at the Ren Faire in Maryland.
Session two is with Sarah Shellhorn and my favorite blanket from SpiritHoods.
On our snow day, Natalie came down to do it for the arts!
Our sword wielding Valkyrie is Helen with some more furs from High Point Crafts.

Rope and a kimono. The basis of gorgeous art overall. So pleased.

This creature is Envy - Writer & Model, who is awesome. And strange. She is perfect for this Valkyrie piece that came in from FolleFée last week. This is the first of several versions that will be done in the next month. I am so happy with these!!
Feeling in a fog lately with the funeral and family matters. I feel a lot of things, and find myself out of energy for things that are usually important to me. I appreciate everyone that has reached out to offer their condolences. I am slowly rescheduling publications and other client work. Please reach out if you would like to work together. My message replies remain very slow.
Doing a throwback today to a foggy shoot with the talented Alicia, Regalia Designs, Seattle Beauty and Naomi The Hairdresser.
I look a fright today, but I wanted to show everyone the newest publication that arrived.
I have had a death in the family. I will not be taking on new clients or plotting for now. When the funeral is scheduled I will be flying home. Thank you for your understanding.

Spent some time roaming DC while Gothic Anachronist Beauty and Styling was visiting in July. I got to see the inside of the beautiful Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle! Isn't it pretty?
We did a quick photo shoot inside after getting permission from the staff but you'll have to stalk The Gothic Anachronist and her styling page to watch for those.
"Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this,
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss."

One of my favorite things about coming back to Washington for the Shakespeare theme was getting to work with Feathers of Artemis finally! Her stuff is flawless and this piece on our Ophelia looked amazing in and out of the water.
"There is a willow grows askant the brook…
There on the pendant boughs her coronet weeds
Clamb’ring to hang, an envious sliver broke,
When down her weedy trophies and herself
Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide,
And mermaid-like awhile they bore her up,
Which time she chanted snatches of old lauds,
As one incapable of her own distress"- Hamlet
Ophelia
