Natasha: Curves Ahead

It is officially the first day of Spring and what better way to celebrate than with a little skin!  My gorgeous friend, hair stylist and cosplayer supreme Natasha is back with some more seductive shots.  I love collaborating with Natasha because she brings such a fun, bubbly energy to our shoots.  Expect to see some more from my shoot with Natasha in the coming months!

The Bowie Room

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!

Valley of the Dolls: Sam and Reddy

Sam and Reddy are two fun-loving, fabulous ladies with fierce minds to match!

On top of being a superbly stylish woman, Sam is also a PHD student, social worker and artist.  Her series of illustrations called Saucy Nüdles celebrates diverse body types and challenges heteronormative standards of beauty and her blog Braced explores her personal journey through life with a physical disability.  In her spare time Sam is also co-editing a book on fatness and motherhood.

Reddy is hilarious lady with an unending supply of silliness and light-hearted energy.  She is a comedian and the MC for Nerd Girl Burlesque and can be seen once a month on stage hosting Tassels and Tabletops.  Reddy is truly the life of the party and always puts a smile on my face.

2015: Another Fabulous Year!

2015 was a spectacular year for me!  I went to New York City, Orlando, Montreal and Detroit.  I performed in the Girlesque Expo, the Toronto Burlesque Festival and Pride Toronto.  I got three new tattoos including a BFF tattoo with Betty Quirk.  I watched one of my best friends get married.  I launched Dolly Shots Photography.  But most importantly I had a blast doing all these things with my fabulous friends.

The theme of this year for me was Girl Power!  I continue to surround myself with the smartest, funniest and coolest group of gals who are constantly inspiring me.  They are loving and supportive and always there to give advice, encouragement or share a cute cat photo!  I feel so lucky and blessed to have these women in my life.

I have big plans ahead for next year!  Stay tuned for more fabulousness in 2016!

Valley of the Dolls

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…

Eevee Burlesque at Super Smash Bras

On September 25th at the Great Hall in Toronto myself and my lovely burlesque buddies debuted a new act for the Super Smash Bra Nerdlesque show!  Peepshow TO put on this fun Nintendo themed show with acts featuring your favourite Nintendo characters.  Our group chose to represent Pokemon with an act inspired by Eevee and her evolutions Flareon and Vaporeon.  In this act Flareon (Delicia Pastiche) and Vaporeon (Henrietta VIII) are fighting over what type of Pokemon Eevee (myself) should evolve into.  After showing me the basics of pokemon stripping I decide not to choose either and instead become a Jolteon!

Please enjoy some fun photos from this act by Ruth Gillson, Chris Hutcheson and Lick My Lens Cap Photography!

Witchy Woman

It’s almost Halloween and it’s going to be a double whammy week, with 2 themed photosets!

My gorgeous friend Sam and I collaborated on another fantastic dress for her collection.  This spider web print was the perfect fabric for her halloween look.  We took a little trip to the cemetery to take some spooky shots!
