Snow Goddess 2010

The snow started falling after midnight here and we woke to a Winter Wonderland! What a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday Season! No Snowstorm is complete without a set of Winter Snow Goddess Photos. I started these back in 2009, and have been lucky to do them several times.

Unlike previous times when I had help, I did these all myself. I lugged the tripod and my wireless shutter release and with the help of ALOT of Photoshop I got some nice finished art images.

Warrior Goddess Photo Shoot

As I watched the last of the leaves fall today, I decided to have an impromptu photo shoot out in the woods in our back yard. There is a small nature trail and about the only place that still had some pretty leaves on the trees. Check out this gorgeous costume from Organic Armor. Love their work!!

Haflaween Horrors 2010

Another year, Haflaween has come and gone. I am sad now that Halloween is officially over. It is always my second favorite time of year. Haflaween has got to be my most favorite show each year. The whole week prior I was so excited, I could hardly stand it. This year for the first time, I got my husband to actually 'perform' a skit with me. I danced to a song I did 2 years ago, "Requiem for a Tower", but it was a different remixed version. I had a costume designed by Paul of Organic Armor. A designer out in Asheville, NC. He did an awesome job! Andrew and I spent a couple hours the week of the Halloween practicing, and after many fits of laughter, we got serious and were able to pull off a great battle scene. It was a lot of fun! Thanks to Mara for taking some photos!
