It’s a miracle she came in… I honestly could not get the Golden Ticket out of my bag quick enough while I was blabbering nonsense as I spoke to this amazing Cosplayer! How insanely creative (and time consuming)!

Our next convention is ConnectiCon XIX 2022 in Hartford, CT, July 14-17.

I generally shy away from masked Cosplays as the most important thing to me in a portrait is the eyes of the subject. During the pandemic, however, masks were everywhere at the few conventions that I was able to photograph so we embraced them. I was floored when I saw the detail and care put into this Cosplay. I loved it even more when I found out that everything evolved from a Dino mask that one would find at the local toy store!

I can honestly say that in my wildest dreams did I never expected to find a Scarlett O’Hara Cosplay at ANY Comic Convention. I was so thrilled be able to photograph this unbelievable Cosplay. Thanks to the wonderful team of Sue, Sean, Olivia, River and Jean who helped me scour the convention floor and find incredible one-of-a-kind Cosplays like this. Also, special thanks to Scarlett who created this marvel and took my breath away!

I love the insanity of conventions. On a busy Friday night in Phoenix I was going up the escalator as I saw this incredible Cosplay going down the opposite side! Luckily, I wear comfortable running shoes… I was off and was very thankful when this Demented Preachers Wife (and friends) agreed to come to the studio. It was so worth it!

I have seen a lot of Cosplayers in our twenty-two states that we have been to but I can honestly say that I had yet to see anything quite like this Cosplay. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in this Cosplay was remarkable. I was thrilled to find out that she won “Best in Show – Individual” at the Masquerade at Phoenix Fan Fusion.

I photographed this Original Character Cosplay at Rose City Comic Con. The Honest Cosplayer is super talented and I have had the opportunity to photograph her on many occasions in such cosplays as Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ganondorf from The Legend of Zelda, and Suki From Avatar. Whoever she creates is always a piece of art and so photogenic. She will be judging at Rose City Comic Con this year! I am so sad to be missing Rose City this year but will be traveling to Alaska to photograph BEARS, one of my happy places.

I noticed this amazing Cosplayer in the final hours of the convention in Phoenix working with another photographer. I knew she would probably be busy until the end of the convention and gave up hope of being able to shoot this unbelievable Valkyrie As Reimagined By Zach Fischer Cosplay. To my surprise she walked into our room just as we were finishing up for the day. I WAS THRILLED!!

Our next convention is ConnectiCon (Hartford, CT), July 14-17.

I LOVE obscure Cosplays that I haven’t seen before and am unaware that I should even be looking for them! It was hard to chose which image to post as this Fairy Godmother (from Shrek II) nailed every pose. I am so thankful to have met her as we bonded over our love of obscure Cosplays.

Phoenix was truly insane! Cosplay creators had three years since the last convention and wow did they achieve perfection. I followed this stunning Cosplayer before the convention on Instagram and hoped to catch up with her at the Con. My wish was granted and I was floored by the attention to detail. Head to toe, inside and out Ursula vibes that poured from her! To create the Cosplay is one thing, but to also be able to at will bring the character to life by actions is quite another. So impressive on so many levels!

I have seen many Queen of Hearts Cosplays but never has one taken my breath away as much as this one. She may look the part of the Queen of Hearts but personality wise she is not comparable. In fact, she is all Heart and it was a pleasure to have the honor to photograph her.

Our next convention is Connection (Hartford, CT), July 14-17.
