Isa Voros - Little Fairy Girl

Isa, Isa - How do I describe Isa. Isa Voros is a stunningly beautiful semi-new model in the scene. For anyone looking for a model muse, this girl knows how to pose. She is a modeling power house! She was a pleasure to photograph and was tons of fun - she was even willing to try out my crazy fairy ideas! One of the first i've had in a long while. I did the makeup for this photo shoot. She brought her own wardrobe for the more fashion-style imagery and then I mixed in a little of my own from here at the studio for the boudoir and fairy tale images! For the Fairy set, I built the scene while Jzino Bodyart http://www.jzino-bodyart.com/ did the bodypaint on her chest and arms (You don't have to be naked to get body paint!) ! The wings she is wearing were hand created by a close friend of mine, Ivy Darling!

I also wanted to throw this really sweet blurb she used to have on her ModelMayhem page about Joanna (Jzino) and me!

#14219 Serena Star (photographer) Wow, working with Serena was an awesome experience!  She has fantastic vision and is wildly creative.  I was definitely impressed by the whole experience and the results, even after having such high expectations already from seeing her portfolio.  Being a model herself, she was extremely helpful with posing. I consider myself VERY lucky to have worked with her and am dying to do it again! 

#661104 Serena Star (mua) You can tell that Serena has a LOT of experience in makeup!  She did a fantastic job, which is especially hard for me to find because I don't have a typical face. 

#598345 JZino (bodypainter)  Joanna was great to work with!  She is super talented and the paint looked awesome both in person and in pictures.  I liked it so much that I wore it out that night after the shoot 

Megan's Boudoir Album Birthday Gift

I was given permission by one of my wonderful boudoir clients to post her beautiful album on my blog! Megan came to my studio looking to create an album as a gift for her hubby for his birthday! We brought in makeup artist/hair stylist Alayna Rakes to do her makeup and hair! Stunning!

Megan rocked the photo shoot. She obviously has a beautiful body and she naturally flowed through poses with little guidance.

Now I must say, this couple has a wild side! For the rest of his birthday gift, they went to an island where they lived with a tribe and had to catch their own food and afterwards went to a resort! She said while with the tribe, it was the healthiest she's ever felt. I don't think I could ever do it, but how awesome is that, right?

Don't forget to click on the image below to full view this album - it really is beautiful and I am so excited to  be able to share it with you all =)!

Maria Sulkin "The Incredible Sulk"

I hope everyone's New Year's day was amazing! My hope is to make this year an even better year than the last! I will start off the New Year with a post of a fun shoot I did "Last Year" hehe.

A while ago I get an email from a model about doing a full beauty shoot with fruit. I was intrigued by this concept because I had started something similar a few years ago while doing my flower series as it was another "nature" sort of inspired object. I didn't really do too many fruit so I was excited about the concept and jumped right on the job. I soon find out that Maria is the owner of a Blog called "Stuff your Pretty Face" -- a blog about her life as a competitive eater! http://stuffyourprettyface.com/ Take a look, it is sort of amazing and she keeps an awesome figure, too!

MRS Beauty was the Makeup Artist for the shoot: http://www.modelmayhem.com/1138287

And here are some of the stunning images we took! It was such a fun filled, messy day!! Maria brought an entire bag of fruits to pick from (most of which never left the building!) We started with a Starfruit (starfish, hehe) with green makeup and a hint of yellow accenting. We then moved onto the Pineapple which was a full out yellow makeup look, and finished off the night with a lot of Red and a Pomegranate (Which I had never seen in real life until this shoot!) If you have never cut one of those, they are MESSY and dye anything they touch! We had to sit our cutting board in water forever to try and get the stain off it! It was tons of fun and the shots are amazing! Take a look!

Guild Print Competition!

As I've mentioned many times before, I really love print competition. It gives me a chance to grow as a photographer and an artist. I can see how my work is being judged, what I could do better, and how I am evolving as an artist. For the Fall Print competition at GPPDV (Guild of Professional Photographers of Delaware Valley -- which includes a lot of the northern east), I was awarded Four out of four blue ribbons and Best of in the Category for Women!

You can view those at the link above, minus the album. Instead of the entire album I submitted one of the images in it!

"Longing" was awarded a Blue Ribbon, "Behind a Dream Like Mind" and "Curtains Please!" scored Red Ribbons (I believe that's what they are called,) they were both 2 points away from Blue Ribbons!

Tara: South Jersey Boudoir Photography

A little while ago I photographed Tara -- She had latex dresses and I was super excited! Walking into the studio, I noticed she had a really bubbly personality right off the bat. She was sweet and genuine, very pretty, with a very girl next door feel. We started doing some simple cute pinup images, but as we photographed, the vixen started to show through! She told me no one had wanted to photograph her silver sparkly dress -- as soon as I saw it, I fell in love! The latex was completely forgotten, but we got some amazing stuff! Makeup done by Me =D

I wanted to show some before and afters of my color vs bw photographs!
