Sometimes people ask me what I want for Christmas. I want you to stay here for another month. If you're inclined to give an actual gift: here is my Amazon wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/33RVVCRAV9QVI?ref_=wl_share
I know it's mostly books, but I'm a nerd. Lol
If anyone needs my Venmo it's @artbybutterfly and my Cashapp is $artbybutterfly
Any money I get ...

What do you think about shooting something that someone else is shooting or has set up? I kind of think it's not cool. I mean you are essentially stealing their concept and their art. So, I've included Herb in here so you can see it's his photo and now this turns into behind the scenes photos, rather than portraits or art photos. The red pants on the fence I saw on the way home when I was hunting herons. :)
P.S. Happy Thanksgiving if you're in the US! :) I'm thankful you're here no matt...

The blonde's mother (who is also my friend) is the one pushing the shutter. She hadn't used my camera before, but I think she did great! We all got to fake read! :) Keep in mind we were all coming up with concepts and poses and locations on the spot.

Additionally, I'm happy to remove you at any time, as needed, even if you are still a paid member. Please only put in your address if you can receive one of the two kinds of cards/mail noted (anything - including spicy Polaroids or Rated G cards only). I don't want any spouses or significant others mad at me. This will not be shared ...

In case you've not seen them before: Black shirt is Dave Levingston from the Dayton area. He shoots in all kinds of formats, including instant cameras with expired film, pin hole, and more modern digital cameras. He is a retired professional newspaper photographer. White shirt is Herb Ascherman from the Cleveland area. His camera is one that makes Platinum prints that he has been using for years. (My camera is a Panasonic Lumix.) I had permission from all involved to take and share these phot...

This is a plastic antler crown, but it still looks good in photos. I had to buy it when I saw it. And, this is my real-life tank top that I wore to the shoot under bibs. I try to wear regular clothes to a shoot that could also be photographed, then I have an extra outfit on me not packed in my bag. :) I was also wearing these earrings in real-life.

I always bring random props to shoots. Sometimes people get on board with them. Sometimes they have their ideas pretty set. Dave Levingston is pretty open once he gets his ideas done. I like things pretty matchy. I like to match anyone any time. haha. So, I brought brand new in package blue pantyhose and pink fake flowers in my bag and we ended up using them together in this set, but just the pantyhose in the next sets. I modeled a lot over the years for pantyhose/nylon fetishists and have dr...

For never having modeled before I think she was really good at fake drinking out of a tea cup and fake reading! She was starting to get relaxed here and understanding to just move little bits at a time every time the shutter clicked. I am the photographer. Unedited.

This model's name is electra.monroe on Instagram. I am the photographer. She is I don't know how to say a horror model? Or just a model that likes the horror genre best? So, the three at the end were in the basement I asked her if she wanted to take a few like that.

The first 3 photos were taken with a "real" camera. The others with a cell phone.

I bought myself this robe a couple months ago to have something to wear for shoots that was somewhat neutral in nature but contrasted with my skin and, even though sheer, would be enough to satisfy IG and FB rules. This is the first set from a shoot in August with Lagrat Photos. (First time working with.)

Photo experiments from the beautiful day yesterday. I was playing with holding colored plastic discs from an Easter craft over the lens. I, personally, love the retro look and bocca blur/ lens flares it gave to the photos. All of these photos are not edited. As always, I'll be interested to see which ones you like. :)
(I am not holding a disc over the lens in the super sharp photos. They are just regular point and shoot.)
This model's name is beeskneeslee on Instagram. She was really a trooper and just jumped right in. I asked her to wear the oversize satiny shirt dress she arrived in because it's my favorite color and my eyes just lit up with joy when I saw her standing on the porch of the house in it. I'm pretty happy with these photos. (I'm the photographer.)

Cockatiel Cocktail Dress I found in a thrift store and hat Atmosphoto1 made me try on, but I'm not mad about. These are just some impromptu photos. The first 3 are with his camera. The last 3 are with his phone. I find you can get pretty decent photos with a phone these days and some photographers shoot me almost entirely with a phone. I guess it just depends on their goals or visions. Do you save steps and shoot with your phone?
Other funny story with these photos. I had one turned int...

Keep in mind they've never modeled before. But, I think they are naturals! Don't you?
Photographer is me or the brunette, depending on whoever is not in the photo at the time. :)

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I was busy all day and couldn't get to my computer. I'm working on loading stuff up now, though, so you aren't without! :)
I was upstairs working on self-portraits and another model/photographer came up and said hey. I said hey, sorry I was ready to go. She said I'm ready to go, too. I said do you want to model some for me? She said sure and took off her clothes. I laid out these rocks I brought and she curved right around them very naturally. These ...
