Update on the Fight For Humanity

My goal when I started the Fight For Humanity photo series was to finish up the series by May to get the calendar printed by September. I still have that hope but I have unfortunately hit some financial obstacles. I have been ill and I have had to reevaluate our financial situation. I just wanted to keep everyone who is following the progress of the series up to date. Thanks everyone

So far I have done 5 shoots of the 14 I had scheduled.

Sonny Garrett of Ozark Omages out of Mountain Home, Arkansas was one of these talented photographers who was in attendance. He traveled over 5 hours to be a part of the clinic and I am so glad he was there.  He has given me permission to share with everyone some of the images he captured. 

So this post is dedicated to his images. All photos and rights to the photos in this post belong to Ozark Images (Sonny Garrett).

Fairy Pretty Photo Shoot

Yesterday aBeesCreations had the honor of doing a photo shoot with a lovely Mother and Daughter. Casey Hays and her daughter were stunning as Winter Fairies. 

During the shoot our young model, who is turning 6 soon, named the shoot. So I present FAIRY PRETTY.

We were honored to be the first to shoot in the NEW photography studio space at Krista's Beauty and Bliss in Ozark Missouri. It is such a great little indoor space to have shoots. THANKS Krista!

Osiris God of Death/ Fight For Humanity

Back in Spetember I had the honor of being a judge at the MAXCON cosplay contest. While there I met a great group of LARPers. Their group PHLARP had amazing weapons, wardrobes, and character development. As judges myself and the other 2 judges were so impressed with their OC (original characters) cosplaying that 3 of the PHLARPers swept the judging! 
After the contest I had the opportunity to talk to the 3 of them. They are so dedicated and so talented. I mentioned that I am always looking for models for some of my projects, mentioning the Fight For Humanity photo series. The guys were excited about maybe branching out to model. 
So when I decided to shoot Ares the Greek God of War and Osiris the Egyptian God of the Dead, I asked Jason Smith (Ares) and Aaron Metcalf (Osiris) if they would want to model for them. They quickly agreed. 
As they were traveling from Farmington Missouri, I choose to shoot in Lebanon Missouri. Unfortunately there was a misunderstanding between the director of the land I had requested to shoot on so we got shut down within the first hour. (It happens)
So we moved to Springfield Missouri. Jason, Aaron and Jason's girlfriend Rachel were so wonderful and agreed to travel the additional distance with us. 
Our photographer for the day was Dakota Friend of Friendly Fire Fotography and our Makeup artist was Lexy Morrison, both of who both attended the Haunted House Clinic the day before. 

So I am going to write 3 blog posts about this day, this being the second one. Check out the Ares post here. We not only shot Osiris and Ares but also shot the LARPers having fun and shot Rachel in some great light. 

If you are in the Farmington/ Park Hills area in Missouri, please check out these guys and their LARPing group. And check them out on Facebook here: www.facebook.com/Phlarp/
