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 =)!

2011 Professional Photographer Mag Cover Competition

So I entered again this year to the Professional Photographer Cover competition! 


The image I submitted is of Angelina Aucello, a beautiful girl and a budding actress. I think the hollywood style really suits her. This is one of my favorites of this style of image so I'm really hoping it wins! Makeup was done by MRS Beauty, hair and styling by me! This is also a merited image in the Professional Photographers of American Print competition!

Angelina has such a sweet heart. She wrote me this short testimonial a long while ago and I don't think I ever posted it on my blog. It's been on my facebook (along with a before and after) here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=155286782002&set=a.126038242002.119341.87975462002&type=1 but I wanted to share with you how great she is and why I want her on the cover!

"As an Actor, having a stellar head shot is nothing short of ordinary. After all, a good shot is in some cases the sole determinant of getting that audition call or booking. When it was time for a new head shot, I knew exactly who to contact - Serena Star. For years, I have followed Serena's profile on Model Mayhem, and I have always been inspired by her work. Her style is unique, artistic, and simply beautiful- capturing people at their best. My shooting experience with Serena and Rae (the makeup artist Serena recommended to me) was so far beyond my expectations. Serena and Rae made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and gave me helpful direction throughout the shoot. Being a model herself, Serena knows how to photograph the human body at its most attractive angles and poses. Her prompt retouching and final photo delivery is the finishing touch that throws every photo over the edge. Since shooting with Serena, my new photos have landed me an increasing number of auditions and bookings. My success lies in her work! =)"

I try not to bother people too much for votes since it's for fun anyway, but it's been nice to hover around the first 5 pages without really asking. If you get a chance and wouldn't mind taking a moment, please vote for me at http://www.ppmag.com/cover-contest-2011/vote/11577/ 

... Everyone voting (for anyone on the site - hopefully a 5 star for me, too!) is entered to win an Ipad 2 =D I don't believe they spam, at least my mom has never told me they did - the only ask for your email and name to sign up (which is so you don't vote multiple times). It's a great organization/Magazine, so I trust them =) If you are a photographer, get your bum on there and submit something, too! Competition is great for the soul - especially if you don't make it. Just get up and try, try again.  Good Luck and Thanks!

Burlesque Dancer Maria Bella

So I've received some great comments from the tear sheets that I recently did for Alt Noir and Bachelor Pad Magazine! (As seen in the post below) After all the great feedback, I decided that I wanted to share the rest of the images from the sets that the magazines did not use as I feel they are equally as interesting! Again, credits go to Burlesque Dancer Maria Bella (model) http://www.modelmayhem.com/189639
