It’s a new year and this week I’m feeling like a new lady!
Last week I gave you a little tease and this week we’re going to jump right in with part one of a brand new photoset from the incredible Lunar Replicant! These photos feature a framed photograph of my platonic boyfriend, the fabulous Leelando (photo by Quinton Cruickshanks).
We are so lucky to have yet another lovely photoset starring the incomparable, curvy beauty, Natasha, this week!! She’s decked the halls and now she’s ready to be the belle of the ball in these New Years themed photos!
2018 has been a transitional year. It has been the uncomfortable growing stage in between leaving a past self behind and becoming a new creature. It has been hard and it has been a journey but ultimately it has been worth it.
The biggest change in my life this year was leaving my soul-sucking, 9-5 office job for a more creative career path. I have had some of my best photoshoots, both in front of and behind the camera and worked with a whole plethora of new and wonderful people! I made a fabulous new costume for one of my favourite performers, Laura Desiree. I celebrated the marriage of two of my dearest friends. I got a new, badass tattoo of my idol Tura Satana from my girl Suspiria! And to top off the whole year I move back into my apartment after nearly a year of extensive renovations!
I am now in the process of setting up Dolly Shots Studio for 2019 and I am so excited to share it with you! Stay tuned next year for lots more fabulous-ity and beauty!
Happy New Year!!

It’s a dream come true to work with this fabulous Babe of Burlesque, Ivory!

Marie Antoinette is back and she’s getting undressed…
The undergarments for this costume were too glamourous not to shoot! The lingerie set I purchased from Torrid and embellished the heck out of with lace and crystals. This gorgeous corset is one of my most prized possessions and was made by the fantastic designer Louise Black.
