FAQs

Who’s this for?

Halloween lovers who love dark romance and are looking for something more than traditional cheesy Halloween portraits.

Do I need modeling experience?

NO! No modeling experience required! You don’t even have to be comfortable in front of the camera. I will guide you and pose you through the entire session.

What should I wear?

Because of the makeup, I would recommend wearing clothing you don’t mind getting a bit dirty. I have a few dramatic dress options in my client closet that you are more than welcome to wear!

How should I prepare for makeup?

Please arrive with a clean, moisturized, makeup free face!


Why I Love Dark Fantasy Photography

Most of the time, the end goal of photography is to capture real memories. Very rarely is the end goal is capture imagined feelings. Sometimes I feel like we are trapped in a world of overexposed grey squares. Creating dark fantasy worlds through photography is my way of escaping the overexposed grey squares. I want to create worlds of beautiful colors, contrasts, and motifs. Worlds that are a bit haunting and maybe even strange…
but always beautiful.
