I was honored to win 7 bronze awards in the international Portrait Masters competition in 2020 including this image from a very special session. I am already working on my entries for 2021 and can't wait to be able to shoot again and serve my Clients

I thought this was a fitting image to share in light of today's winter wonderland. This beautiful girl was shot in my studio and I made it into a winter magic scene in post. In light of the lockdown I wonder if people would be interested in having composite images made from their own images??

As part of my fine art children's session the kids have access to my huge studio "closet". I have over 100 dresses including gowns like these as well as dress shoes, flowers and crowns. The girls absolutely go nuts and can hardly decide which one to try first! My sessions involve complete styling for multiple looks, it's one of the things that makes our "princess sessions" so special!

Thought I'd share this to show what goes into a fine art edit. It's a long and complex process that takes many steps to keep refining an image till it's "perfect". If you've ever wondered why professional portraits cost what they do, this is one of many elements that goes into it. Many of my images take an hour or more in retouching.

Ok I have to share one more fantasy composite from this shoot. I just LOVE taking gorgeous studio images and creating fantasy scenes like this. Wouldn't this be stunning if a little girls bedroom!
