Welcome to my creations.
These are alternate creative projects I have either created, worked on, or am featured in. (Or perhaps all three.) I hope you enjoy browsing through some of these remarkably fun projects I have had the pleasure of working on. if any of these projects peak your interest and you’d like to work together on a concept, please feel free to contact me.
Make it
regal.
One day I set out to sew a regal and unique gown befitting a queen, or a lost princess.
Upon completing this gown after 40+ hours of work, I knew it needed a proper debut.
I teamed up with the very talented Madeleine Reinhold of Studio Reinhold and this is the magic we created centered around this wonderful gown.

Make it
renaissance.
Annually I sew new outfits to wear to the Maryland Renaissance Faire and occasionally I am wise enough to bring my camera along to capture some wonderful shots of these looks in this gorgeous setting

Make it
ghostly.
A fun shoot for work social media content creation that i really enjoyed both shooting and editing. Such a fun and funny day and too enjoyable not to share.
Please, enjoy these ghostly buddies spending a day at the brewery (Final social media reel also included.)

Make it

Here are some deliciously fun food photography shots I’ve started to compile. All featured food in this carousel are from Kooper’s Pit Stop (Baltimore, MD)

Make it
stranger.
With Halloween looming in the air, it feels like the right time to upload my late summer costume/photo project. I think I speak for thousands, if not millions of us when I say that “Chrissy Wake Up” was the song of the summer of 2022. So, when it came time to decide what Stranger Things inspired project I wanted to tackle, the thought of getting to do both a cute 1980’s high school shoot and also a spooky Vecna victim shoot was just all too enticing.

Make it
familial.
What a fun project this was, turning myself into my great grandmother Lucille Elizabeth (Bit) - albeit challenging. i am hoping to add more of these and create a series of family portrait recreations.

Make it
romantic.
In all my years of creating photoshoots, this will forever be one of my favorites. Never have I had the privilege to not only take someones engagement photos, but to be able to do so for one of my oldest friends is truly the best gift. She just looks so stunning and their happiness radiates through these photos.

Make it
gothic fiction.
We can all get way too involved in our favorite TV shows. I am not exception. When the Netflix anthology series The haunting released their secondary season entitled “The Haunting of Bly Manor” last year, based off of Henry James “The Turn of the Screw,” I knew I had to create my own lady of the lake shoot.

Make it
pink.
In the summer of 2019, I was finally able to attend the incredible D23 event in Anaheim, California. I was dying to create a new princess dress and so I opted for Aurora as I’ve often been told she’s the princess i most resemble and I had been waiting for an occasion to really honor her beautiful dress.

Make it
macabre.
As any spooky-hearted child of the 90’s does, I have a deep love for the Addams Family. Specifically, the films released in the 90’s starring the astoundingly stunning Anjelica Huston as Morticia Addams. I needed to pay homage to this gothic queen by organizing, what else but a costume and photoshoot, of course.
