Made it a family affair for this shoot and the littles actually got to meet “The Princess” as they call @rayofwhimsy 🥰
Z was a great second and even had Martha posing for shots she took on her mini digital (which she sadly then accidentally deleted 😔)
Looking forward to what we can come up with in 2027!! ✨

The magic of editing ✨

Love love LOVE that I got to collaborate again with @rayofwhimsy so soon for this Pirate/Siren shoot. We got so many amazing images that we are still going through. But this image was my first edit and I’m enamored 🤩

This time around, we are both editing the RAW images! I can’t wait for you to see how we edit this session!!

If a fantasy session sounds like something you would be interested in. Don’t hesitate to reach out! 🩵

P.S. don’t worry, there will be an episode two of “what my kids said” again for this session lol

🌧️ Rainy Ren Faire days are officially be my favorite Ren Faire days!!!🏰

A little rain definitely doesn’t stop the @bristolrenaissance, the show goes on!

If you’re someone who does not thrive in the heat (🙋🏻‍♀️), a rainy faire day is SO SO much more comfortable. Cooler weather, fewer crowds, shorter lines, and plenty of room to wander around and take everything in!!

You might get a little muddy and soggy, but that just feels historically accurate, and makes the outfits that much more fantastic!!

Glad I got to go with my favorite crew!!

Have you been to the Ren Faire yet this season?!

Meet Mirabel Voss, the Opera House’s newest stage hand.

Observant and eager to prove herself, Mirabel spends her days behind the scenes ensuring every performance runs smoothly. As one of the newest additions, she often fades into the background…overlooked by performers, patrons, and guests alike.

But those who work behind the curtain often see more than anyone realizes.

In a night filled with secrets, rivalries, and ambition, it may be worth paying attention to the people no one else notices.

Please welcome Martha as our Stage Hand, Mirabel Voss. 🖤

Having my office in the living room, comes with some perks. I get to hear the cute and sometimes hilarious commentary from my children while I’m editing sessions.

When my daughter first saw @rayofwhimsy She asked me if she was a real life princess. So who am I to tell her she isn’t!? 🥹👸🏻💕

In all seriousness, this photoshoot was an unbelievable experience! Everything about it was magical: the location, this couple, the wardrobe (can we take a moment to just really appreciate the armor 🤯 @armstreetcom ). I was on cloud 9 driving home and already cooking up new ideas in my head!

What are you hoping to see next?? Follow along to stay up to date on future sessions ✨🧚‍♀️🗡️
