My request was for “dreamy” outfits to go with this stone and ivy background, so Heather broke out her wedding dress…love those sleeves! Her sister made it, and it still looks gorgeous years later.

Modern Day Ophelia
Another way to have fun doing photos is getting to be any character you want! Anduin and I wanted to create a modern interpretation of Ophelia from Hamlet. It was the dead of winter, so we had to make do with a bathtub…
Happy Easter!

Dominance, Submission, Shiny
How do you know you have a cool mom? The following conversation:
“Elizabeth, where did that slippery spot on the living room floor come from?”
“Um…I had a dominatrix standing on your fireplace and the slippery spot must be from the stuff that makes her catsuit shiny. Oops.”
“Oh, ok, make sure you clean it up.”
“Yes Mom…”
I’ve shot many a person in the shiny gear, sometimes people in the lifestyle, sometimes people just exploring with the way it feels on camera. Throw in my tendency to think of something ridiculous on the spot, and here’s a range….
Dress it up!
Know what’s fun? Playing dress-up well into adulthood. It makes me happy to give people the opportunity to put on an outfit, a costume, anything that lets them play around with who they want to be in that moment. Part of the fun of shoots is sorting through wardrobe and seeing what we can come up with. Sometimes it reveals things about the subject that they didn’t realize before…while others are well aware 😉
