I absolutely adore doing portraits lying down.
It makes it so much easier to style the hair and get this soft, flowy look that I love in photography.
If you haven’t shot your model lying down, I highly suggest it! Play and experiment!

Soft Pink | Floral Portrait
This thrifted dress was such a gorgeous find for the photography studio!
It pairs so well with the bright summer makeup and the florals.

Witcher Cosplay | Fantasy Portrait Photography
Have monsters that need slaying?
Sounds like you’re in need of a Witcher.
🖤🗡🖤
I’m very excited for this cosplay portrait series to be dropping on the BlessedShadows OnlyFans this week!
This fantasy photoshoot was so much fun, it’s exceptional fun to have a new chestplate in the studio for my more masculine cosplays.
So, what’s your favorite monster, and do you care to toss a coin to your Witcher?
Bettie Page Inspired Boudoir Photoshoot | Artist Burnout
Artist burnout is real.
And to be honest, sometimes our response is to work even harder.
Take time to rest.
And when you start making art again, try something different.
Slightly new, or wildly different from the art you usually create.
Try a new technique, a different strategy, use different tools. Get your heart excited again.
How do you bounce back after creative burnout?

Golden Goddess | Self-Portraiture and Self-Acceptance
Step into the Shadows and shop creations and join our OnlyFans~
Harness: Charlie’s Revamps
Handmade headdresses: the Blessed Shadows shop
So much has changed here in the studio. Not only in workflow and equipment changes, but how I’ve learned to see myself and my work.
I have found self-portraiture as a way to learn self-love. Not only has it helped me with my dysphoria, it’s allowed me to learn to see myself as a piece of art. It’s helped me better comes to terms with the skin I’ve been given.
Along with the grander scheme of not feeling at home in my body, I’m no longer so embarrassed by my hands. My hands are often a very bright red, presumably because of a thyroid issue and my very low blood pressure. It’s been a pain to edit out or otherwise try to prevent, but I’ve learned to accept that that’s just how they are.
Instead of seeing an embarrassing bright red, I see it as a blush that fits well with my style of portraiture, especially in this photoset.
Self-portrature can help us to not only learn about who we are, but how we are all pieces of artwork.
Perfectly imperfect.
Gold Goddess | Boudoir Photoshoot
Step into the Shadows and shop creations like this headdress!
Beautiful harness by Charlie’s Revamps.
This sultry red and gold shoot was such a glamorous blast!
With the floral headdress from the Blessed Shadows Shop and this chain harness from Charlie’s Revamps coming together so perfectly with the backdrop and faux floral, this was a joy to photograph.
This backdrop is one of my favorites, a thrifted blanket that’s quite literally a bed of flowers.
~~~
These 1/2-1/2 shoots, where half the photoshoot is taken with an iPod and the other half is photographed with a DSLR have been wonderful. These photo sessions have given an opportunity to better utilize the studio space (with the bed serving as a second backdrop) as well as practice with different equipment.
Gorgeous portraits come from each setup, and it’s been a joy to continue practicing without entirely taking over the studio.
