Zombie Attack

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, it really is. I love the parties and having half a dozen different costumes, and I especially love face paint. I still get face paint done when I go to a festival which offers it. I was thrilled to work with a great Makeup Artist, Torrie Stories Makeup. I worked with a couple of other models as well as several photographers including: Blue Gray Photography , Shannyn Dare Photography, and Shabaka5 Photography, The resulting photos sent chills up my spine- a pretty zombie intent on consuming your flesh. Mmmm, flesh. Enjoy... and watch your back.

I had the best time with my friend Sarah Robertson and The Triad Photo Workshop at this "formal with a twist" photoshoot. Photographer credits are given under each image. The makeup is by Torrie Stories Makeup.  I really appreciate the photo workshops put together by this specific group. They're fun, casual, and always always unique and interesting!

Freaks

I'm so blessed to know the wonderful Sarah Roberson. She's a friend and fellow plus size model who also organizes some awesome photoshoots. This one was called "boudoir freak show". Lingerie and scary makeup anyone? Yes please! Shooting with Sarah and the photographers she corrals always results in interesting photos and definitely something new and different. The following photos are by Brent LaFever. Personally I think my look is a bit joker-esque and I'm completely okay with that! I also want to thank my friend Amy who gave me both the corset and tutu for this set. 

The Bountilful Skeleton

It's getting close to Halloween everyone! Let the spooky, fanciful, and altogether awesomness of the season begin!

June/July Makeup Free Mondays

Every Monday since June I've been posting to my flickr and my facebook page makeup free shots. I've decided to show these self portraits here, with you. You don't need cosmetics to be beautiful- you don't need anything except for you.

I was feeling pastel-y this day
