Elena Faye | Fairy Extraordinaire

You're NEVER too old to play dress up.

Elena Faye is proof that playing dress up is fun and looks great at any age!  This little mini shoot was a blast to do and even MORE fun to edit.  I have wanted to do some more dramatic editing for a while and Elena agreed to be my subject.

I wanted to portray her as a mythical creature and bring out her AMAZING eyes to create a life like fairy.  Welp, mission accomplished I'd say!  This wonder brought the beauty to the table and I got to capture and enhance it.

This shoot has inspired me to do others like this with intense editing.  

I just love when a product turns out how I imagined!

Thank you Elena for working with me.  Can you be a mermaid next?!

Enjoy Xx

Britaney Chanel | Music Vision

Some people dream.....

Some people go after their dreams.

When Britaney emailed me asking if I would take photos of her to promote her music I was super thrilled! Britaney and I went to high school together and had many mutual friends.  Lucky for me, one of these mutual friends is my best friend.  (Never underestimate a good recommendation and word of mouth!)  As you can imagine my bff pimped me out and ta-da --Britaney connected with me.

This shoot was so refreshing because it was very different than any other I have done.  First, It was taken in a dance studio and I'm used to doing shoots outdoor.  In addition, most of my clients don't really know what they want and give me free reins to photograph them any which way.  

Which is wonderful, but also leaves me in a bit of a panic because I know what I like and how I'd like them to look, but I don't know how they want to look or their vision.  With Britaney is was different! She went into the shoot knowing exactly what she wanted and what she wanted to portray but gave me just enough artistic freedom! 

Even better-- I got to do her makeup! This I have never done at a shoot and during this time we got to chat a lot.   I learned so much about her throughout the entire process....from the day we met up to discuss details until the actual shoot.  To top things off, Britaney's vision of editing was on par with mine and right up my alley!

Overall this was such a good experience and I gained a fabulous and caring new friend :)

Britaney is a beautiful soul.  She is hard working and determined and I wish her much success and hope all of her dreams come true!

Emily | Eat Your Heart Out Modern Day Pin Up Shoot

Emily is one of my favorite people to photograph.  She is the ideal candidate for any pin up shoot!  Big blue eyes, tiny waist, curvaceous hips, and a nice bosom (teehee!)  I also cant forget the fact that she looks stunning in red lipstick.

These photos were taken earlier this year as a gift from Emily to her significant other.  Most of them are racy so I did not post them, but I just had to share the mild ones to show off how great this girl looks!

 Emily, you are GORGEOUS xoxo
