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!



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

This fantasy photoshoot of a forest king came out absolutely beautiful!
This shoot was such a blast, and is SFW so I get to share the whole set!
To maximize your lighting setup and time in the studio, consider doing two photoshoots in one.
Start with the simpler set, simpler hair and simpler makeup. The second shoot should have the more elaborate makeup.
Remember that it’s easier to build than to remove.
This strategy works even faster when the two shoots use the same lighting setup and backdrop, but of course feel free to switch it up between photoshoots.
Have you ever done 2+ shoots at once? What looks can you think of that would work well being shot on the same day? What shoot looks are complementary?
Can you guess what the second set in this double shoot was?


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?


Teasers for a brand new boudoir photoshoot.
♥️
The studio finally has a breast plate in the wardrobe!
I’ve been collecting silicone pieces for use in boudoir shoots for some time now, so it’s very exciting to have these breast forms added to the wardrobe.
What’s your favorite, unconventional addition to your studio?
Armor, fake weaponry, etc?
Let me know in the comments and stay tuned for this set to drop in the coming months!
