Zoomed out overhead photo of a mermaid lying in dark, shallow water. The background of the photo is dark but the lighting is in dramatic shades of red and blue. Her lower body is bent at a sharp angle and instead of a fish tail it ends in seven octopus tentacles. Two more emerge from her hips. Her human half is light skinned with a thick main of curly blue and purple hair. Her lower body is patterned in shifting shades of black, red, purple, and blue. She is surrounded by swirls of mist painted red and purple by the light.

The light is slipping away (at least here in the northern hemisphere). This is your reminder that there is beauty in darkness.

I was pretty turned upside-down after two days shooting six looks with Kimber, especially since I was up before the sun to get ready for our morning shoot at the springs. I think I managed to make it look good, though!

Celebrating #FairyFriday with more photos from my shoot with Waterbear Photography in Glimmerwood's famous volcano gown. I will never be over how lucky I am to be able to work with these amazing artists!

Filtered photo of a terrifying creature with the head and arms of a light skinned human with long, curly blue hair and the tentacles of a black octopus with red and blue markings. It is crawling out of the surf and grinning wickedly at the viewer.

Ok, I know it's not the best to post late at night but I wanted to get this #mermonday post in under the wire. I'm trying to get better at posting regularly! Getting scarier with this shallow studio shot by Waterbear Photography.

Photo of a siren with light skin and long, tightly curled purple hair rising out of shallow water and staring threateningly at the viewer. The scene is dark, illuminated by one deep red light on the left.

A darker tone for #FairyFriday as we move into the second half of October. This shot was from late in my studio session with @waterbearphotography. It's always a privilege to shoot in this dress! This part of the shoot was extremely challenging but I think it was worth it!
Underwater photograph of a fairy in a red, orange, and black ballgown with glowing red wings. She has light skin and a serene expression. Her body is angled to the right with the right arm and leg extended behind her. Locks of dark grey curls float in front of the glowing wings. The photo is rotated so that the surface reflection is on the right, giving an impression of someone flying into a mirror or magic portal.

Happy World Octopus Day!!

This year I'm excited to share the first (but not last!) of the photos from my magical sessions with Waterbear Phtography, in my one of a kind tail by Jurassic Merman Productions, shot at Gilchrist Blue Springs State Park.

Happy #SirenSunday! I love this image of my new tail by Jurassic Merman Productions.
photo of a mermaid kneeling on the wet sand of a beach, in front of the ocean. She has light pink skin and long, tightly curled pink, purple, and blue hair and a turquoise, purple, and blue bra top. Her lower body is black and deep blue with red and purple markings, and ends not in a fish fin but octopus tentacles. her arms are extended to the sides, with a tentacle draped over one elbow. Her hair blows in the wind, partially obscuring her face.

Today we're doing #FairyFriday! Fall is quickly approaching, so I'm sharing this beautiful autumnal shot by Simply Savannah Art from 2023. It is such an honor to be the guardian of Glimmerwood's famous volcano dress and to craft a look around it.
Photograph of a light skinned fairy with long, pointed ears wearing an elaborate ballgown in shades of red, orange, and yellow, decorated with black lace and organza. The colors almost seem to glow against the black. She has long, flowing smoke-gray hair and black opera gloves tipped in long claws. She is standing in a field surrounded by bright fall foliage, with right hand raised and left hand lowered at her side, head twisted to the right, with a serene expression. She has detailed, iridescent orange wings that fade to deep black at the edges.

Her bra and the markings on her tail match her hair and also contain deep blue and magenta. She has one arm on the swing and another outstretched, and a serene expression.

Welcome!
A fairy with light skin and black hair stares menacingly at the camera. She has black claws and flaming orange wings and has blood dripping from her mouth and splattered all over her arms and chest.
