Today’s post is the final set of photos I shot with Natasha at our last photoshoot. This set is probably my favourite from this shoot. Natasha shows such a great range of expression and pose. She is both strong and sensual, shy and confident. Enjoy my ray of sunshine on this gloomy day; Natasha!
The sultry Sevvy Skellington is this week’s model for Dolly Shots Photography. In this set you can see the incredible black and grey tattoos covering Sevvy’s body, done by Damian Campagnaro. Sevvy has a true alternative beauty and totally rocks her unique style.
This weekend I celebrated my 26th birthday! To keep the celebration going I thought I would share this fabulous photoset from my recent shoot with Photolena. I’ve been a huge fan of Photolena for so long that I couldn’t resist the opportunity to work with her. We shot a ton of stuff together, so expect to see more in the next few months.
First up is our 70s themed disco girl set. I love 70s fashion and decided to go full on roller girl, minus the skates, for my first look. I created this outfit myself and found the perfect accessories to complete the ensemble. I hope you enjoy Disco Dolly!

I have always had a great love of fashion and style. As a child my favourite thing to do was to play dress up. I would wrap myself in scarves, adorn my head with a fancy hat, paint my mother’s lipstick on my lips, cheeks and eyelids and prance around the house. Eventually that passion blossomed into a mature form and I began to use my style as a form of self expression. Being a shy person, fashion has always been my way of communicating who I am non-verbally.
I don’t remember the exact moment when I became aware of Dita Von Teese, but I do recall as a teenager saving every image of I could find of her. Lusting after her sparkle encrusted corsets and lace gowns. The hats, the gloves, the feathers, the red lipstick! She was the epitome of high fashion and good taste to me. Even more than her burlesque presence, it was her style sensibility that attracted me to Dita. In Dita I saw the ability to not only stand out through fashion, but to do so in the most elegant way.
Dita Von Teese has greatly influenced me in my personal style, from hair and makeup to clothes and accessories. Dita is the modern incarnation of the vintage pinups who I have always adored. When I see her in performance I am struck not by her dance or acting abilities, but by her style and grace, and I look at her as if a beautiful painting has come to life. She may not be revolutionary in her technique but she is highly skilled in her presentation. Dita brings to life the glamourous feel of previous era.
I was so lucky to get the chance to meet my fashion idol last weekend as she graced Toronto with her presence for a live show at the Phoenix and a book signing at Rosie the Rebel. I was happy to find that this person who has helped to shape and influence me so much was just as lovely as I imagined. Dita smiled sweetly and signed her photograph as I blushed and stared at her perfectly coiffed hair. I hope to have the opportunity to see Dita again on stage one day, but for now the memories of this very special day will live on in my mind.
I have been such a busy lady recently and have been focusing way more energy on photography than modelling. So you can imagine how thrilled I was to receive some new/old photos from shoot I did way back in 2o14. Michael Terry of DWS took these amazing photos of me in this David Bowie themed room. Enjoy!
Leelando Calrissian is flaunting his feminine side with this week’s flirtatious photoset. Bringing Bettie Page realness, this vintage-loving vixen is tight laced, tucked and totally in control. Looks like man-candy, Matt Muir, needs a little lesson in discipline from Mistress Leelando.
You can catch drag/burlesque beauty Leelando at Spielberg-lesque on March 5th at the Great Hall in Toronto. Click here to purchase tickets to this Peepshow TO production.

2015 has been a year of new ventures and creative exploration for me. Launching Dolly Shots has been such a wonderful way for me to explore portrait photography and share my passion with the help of my beautiful friends who have modeled for me. While I know that I still have so much to learn I am happy with the images I have been able to put out so far. Happier still to see how much joy it brings my models when they receive their finished photos!
Recently I decided to take my creative vision to the next level and organize a photoshoot with a specific theme that has always captivated me. I gathered some gorgeous gals who also wanted to explore this theme and over the next few months you will see the fruits of this labour.
Bringing together a 1960s aesthetic, Russ Meyer influence and playful whimsy with a splash of vodka, I would like to present my Valley of the Dolly Shots Gals. Stay tuned in 2016 for more photos of these buxom bombshells…
