Caitlin - 2022.

May 15, 2022

Sometimes hashtags actually do work. Caitlin saw the work that I did with Erin a few weeks back through and instagram search, and reached out to book a studio session. Originally we weren’t going to be able to work for a few weeks, but after some last minute cancellations I was able to push things up. Having just moved to the Atlanta area about 18 months ago, this Morticia from Massachusetts was certainly someone I couldn’t wait to work with.

An URBEX photographer in her own right, Caitlin was a wonderful person to have in studio. We had some great chats sharing skills back and forth. Hopefully soon we’ll be going on an adventure where she can show me how she makes her photographs.

I hope all of you enjoy these photos as much as we enjoyed making them.

Sébastien - 2022.

March 20, 2022

Sébastien came across my work from the photos that I did of Nicky back at the end of January and gave me a follow on Instagram. When I needed to do some light testing to re-create some new skills I learned last week, they jumped at the chance to get a few portraits made.

During our session, Sébastien gave me some lessons on the catalog of Erykah Badu and brought some great ideas to the table. I’m going to have to do some more experimentation with lace and veils and the overall idea of being hidden. Thank you again for taking time out of your Saturday to come to play in the studio.

Ava Cado - 2022.

February 20, 2022

Bravacado! (Ok…I’d be lying if I said I didn’t go through several Avocado puns looking for just the right one). I’ll see myself out now, but before I do let’s talk photos.

I’ve been trying to get this shoot set up with Ava for a few weeks, and I’m happy that everything finally fell into place. I met Ava through my friends over at The Fandom, and after trading Edgar Allen Poe references back in forth I knew that this was going to be something special. We discussed a couple of concepts, and for a hot second, I even tried to work out the logistics of hanging an aerial rig in my studio–

That would have been a terrible idea, but Ava, thinking on her feet, brought her hoop anyway and worked it into some very exciting photos that I am extremely happy with.

Even though this was our first time working together, I sure hope it won’t be the last. Her personality is infectious and more importantly, she is so incredibly easy to work with. I hope ya’ll don’t mind how many photos are in this update, as usual, I got a little trigger happy and ended up with (more than) a few more final images than usual.

“It’s an Ava Cado! Thanks! She is a whimsical performer with a love for all things props. She gets her movement inspiration from liquid, loves to be fluid, and finds beauty in odd shapes. She’s known for her chair acro and aerial performances. While her burlesque, fire, and aerial career only started in 2021, she’s ready to bankrupt more people with a slice of her ava cado toast. is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”

See more of Ava on Instagram or catch her live at an event if you can.

Nicky - 2022.

January 31, 2022

Happy New Year and welcome to 2022! Thanks for coming back, hopefully, this year will be better than the last. But enough with that–

Nicky and I have followed each other on social media for a while now, but have only ever seen each other in person twice, including this shoot. When we met in person for the first time, the only words that came to mind were “Nice Hat”, before introducing myself as my online handle (since that’s the only way I knew they would identify me).

Being a creative content producer themself, Nicky and I spent a lot of time talking about Photography during our session. They wanted to learn how to be more confident in front of, as well as behind a camera. We both shared stories from “the field” and I think by the end of the shoot we both had learned a little something.

I can’t wait for us to shoot again soon.

Brandie - 2021.

September 12, 2021

The weather outside is starting to get cooler, and soon enough the leaves on the trees will all be on the ground instead. The spooky season will be here before we know it (even if we do have to go through second-summer first). It used to be that Halloween was my favorite time of the year, but these last few years have just been wearing on me and I just haven’t felt in the spirit.

I guess it’s time to change that.

Brandie replied to an Instagram post where I was looking for someone to work with, and even though we have worked together in the past, this was the first time one on one. I honestly didn’t know what to expect when she said “I’ll just bring a few different things”, but I certainly didn’t see myself getting the chance to shoot something with some witchy-feels this early.

I’m not complaining. I’ll just be over here humming “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” (because we all know that even though every day is Halloween, most of us weirdos only get 31 days to enjoy it.
