Valley of the Dolls

December 21, 2015July 28, 2016 missdollymonroe3 Comments

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…

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

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

I had the pleasure of performing at Kitty Night’s Midsummer Night’s Dream show on August 15th. It was a wonderful evening of dreamy burlesque. I performed my Sugar Baby routine in a sugary, sparkly, pale pink robe which I made. My head was adorned with a lovely bird fascinator from Featherband. Please enjoy some photos from the evening and one from my friend Lick My Lens Cap photography, of me in this outfit!

Burlesque babe and hula-hooper extraordinaire Rubie Magnitude is the model of the week! Donning a gorgeous red lingerie set from Secrets From Your Sister, the lovely Rubie looks sensual and sweet. Rubie was a smash hit this past weekend at the Toronto Burlesque Festival, where she debuted a new act in which she multi-tasked hula hooping and feather fan dancing! I am thrilled to welcome Rubie to the Dolly Shots portfolio with her first set of portraits. Enjoy!
