Raven Photo Shoot

A few weeks ago I was approached to be a part of an exciting photo shoot. Krista Cronin owner and makeup artist of Krista's Beauty and Bliss, out of Ozark Missouri. She had an idea of doing her own take on the classic Edgar Allen Poe poem, The Raven, through a photo shoot. She had the very beautiful and talented Missouri model, Sarah Vega, on board. She was going to be doing the makeup, of course. And she lined up an extreme talented photographer, Matt Loveland, to shoot. She aske me to create some feather accent pieces and accessories for the shoot. She of course wanted wings but she left everything else up to my own design and imagination. I am always thrilled when I can create pieces using my own creativity. Thanks Krista for allowing me to use my talents for your photo shoot. 
I asked Krista if it would be possible to not only create pieces and provide props but to be a second shooter for the day. She graciously agreed. 
Matt shoots for a great local fashion magazine and his amazing photos were featured in a beauty article that Krista wrote for Deitra Magazine. You can read her article and check out Matt's photos HERE. 

So here is Krista's take on Lenore Becomes the Raven in photos by myself.

Steampunk Photo Shoot #3

We are getting so many amazing shots from the talent photographers from Saturday's photo shoot. I am so impressed with them all! The models really ROCKED the whole day. I will continue to share photos as they are released. Today a few AMAZING shots were released!!

This is one of my favorites from today. I love that my handmade hat and goggles are on our Steampunk Juliet. But I am super proud of my hand painted original creation of my Juliet is the Sun and Kills the Envious Moon mask. 

I think it turned out BEAUTIFUL! 

What do you think?

The stunning model, Sarah, really in-bodied a steampunk Juliet persona and photographer, Mike Woods captured an amazing shot. Love that she is looking through the mask as it is covering only half her face.
