Website Update
I decided to do something new with the Alice in Wonderland photos, so let me know if you like it :)

Each photo has a quote from Anne Taintor (because she's fabulous) and has been edited more than usual around the edges to give it a dreamy look.

The concept began last year, as my friends made EGL style costumes for the Midnight Tea at Anime Expo. More character were added after the convention and makeup artists Sam and Alison became involved. A location was found in Denver, a beautiful Victorian bed and breakfast that allowed us to rent a room for a couple hours and photograph in and around the building, and I gave my friend and fellow photographer Alain a call to see if he wanted to join in on the fun. It was a long, cold day, but the results were worth all the time and planning =D Many thanks to everyone involved, I am so happy to have been a part of this!

What you'll see on my website are storybook type photos I specifically shot for my site. There are many more pictures, but those will be distributed out to the parties involved and not posted on my site :)

Oh, wow. I didn't think it would make that big a difference, or that your photos could even be improved (well, you know what I mean), but oh WOW, it lends an entirely different feel to the entire shoot. Somehow incredibly professional, like a magazine spread. I know you can't do it for every shoot, which is fine because it wouldn't FIT every shoot, but it's -perfect- for this one.

Thank you! I deliberately shot photos that I could play around with for a magazine type look. It was a challenge, and this whole set is a new experiment in creativity for me, but I'm happy with the results and look forward to elaborating on this idea with future photo shoots! I probably won't do the quotes again, but I have a few ideas along similar lines that I would like to incorporate at some point.. :)

These look fantastic hun, I really like what you've done in the post, it really helps to tell the story we were trying for.

In fact, I lurve them so much would it be too much to ask to get some of them put up into the private directory? I would love to put some of these up on MM and other such sites (of course with all appropriate credit).

I'm especially in love with the Queen one!

This was a great photo set. I really was very impressed by the first one, where Alice is looking into the mirror. It was very creative and well shot! Plus it was just awesome that you implemented some of the book: Alice and a "Looking Glass". Very nice. :)

Thank you so much! While everyone was getting their makeup done I was reading Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass and taking notes from the book that I could incorporate into the photos so I'm really glad someone noticed :D

Those are amazing photographs, really. And the Alice is just adorable. I adore how expressive she is.

If you click on the picture you can go to the gallery and see the ones I've put up :)

I'm not going to AX this year, I've got a busy summer planned and I just can't fit in the massive expense of going to Anime Expo :/
