It’s only January, and all I can think about is running around nature and summer fruit.

Happy 2017, everyone!
This ivy is creeping slowly up my moms backyard fence. If you’ve been here awhile, you may remember I love ivy. Going to keep climbing and growing with my photos. Is there anything in particular you’d like to see?
I’m going to be shooting with more film this year. I do love the turnaround time that digital offers, but I miss that luscious grain and tone that film provides. Onward!

This model, Alysa, showed up to our shoot armed with goodies from Vecona, including this amazing striped dress, complete with bustle.

I held my first group shoot last Sunday, and it was FUN. I decided to do this as a response to the negativity many have experienced in 2016, and give people a boost.
By some miracle, the sun decided to appear, almost oppressively. We had a small, but very positive turnout with plenty of variety. These brave souls braved the cold at Gasworks Park and have allowed me to share these with you. Thanks all!
Speaking of permission to share images, something I encounter a lot is people feeling nervous that their pictures will end up where they don’t want them. Bottom line is, if people don’t want me to share their pictures, I won’t. As much as I’d love to show you the pictures of my niece from that day, she drew a boundary about being posted on the internet, and I respect that.
Might do this again in spring, when the cherry blossoms are out!

Gold leaf makeup by Theo Faulkner!

I wanted to do a shot with a Persephone theme, and Theo created this slightly dirty and gritty look with powder pigments and gold leaf…

Lyz and I decided to get together and take advantage of her red hair/green dress situation and add a fairy theme. Shot in Volunteer Park…more to come!
