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.

The longer I work on the Cosplay 50 Project the more I notice different types of Cosplayers that come into my studio. I have to imagine it’s a bit intimidating when they walk in to see mountains of photo gear, assistants, and maybe a bit of frenetic energy. The majority of Cosplayers that I photograph are every day people with little modeling experience. Many even admit to me they have never even had a professional photo taken of them before.

This young Freddie Mercury Cosplayer was new to the Cosplay/convention world. He came into my room and nailed the character to a point that we both gasped when we saw the image preview on the back of the camera. These “newbies” never cease to amaze me. It’s like they are coming home to a world they were meant to be in. It is part of the reason that I do this project. I feel the Comic Con world/Cosplay world is inclusive, welcoming, and kind to all who enter; a great place to be in current times.

Happy Birthday to Sean, the best assistant a girl could ever have!!!

Assistant roles are evolving at conventions now…. watch out Sue Wolfe and Rhonda Morris! Sean Montgomery, who has worked with me since 2017, was photographed at Florida Supercon. Avi Ram (Season 2 Skin Wars) needed a model, and Sean jumped at the opportunity. Avi painted him as “Venompool” a combination of Deadpool and Venom. It took only 3 hours to paint! Sean really embraces cosplay culture and took easily to posing for photographs, both for me and for everyone who stopped him for one. It was quite entertaining later in the day when he came back to assist. Thanks so much Sean! You have always been an extreme pleasure to work with, and have helped and put up with a lot of the situations (both good and bad) that con life throws at us! It was so fun to have you in front of the camera for the first time (and hopefully not last).

I photographed this exhilarating Present Mic from My Hero Academia Cosplay at Florida Supercon.

I photographed this jaw-dropping Mera from Aquaman Cosplay at Rhode Island Comic Con. Rhode Island Comic Con may be held in the smallest state but it is rich in stunning Cosplays! Please check out rage_quit_cosplay on Instagram for more amazing cosplays and an in depth look at the build progress of this Mera Cosplay!

Supermodels walk amongst us! As my traveling has been brought to an abrupt end, it has given me a chance to catch up on some much anticipated publishing.

This is my amazing Zumba, Hip Hop/MMA, and Tabata Instructor Melissa Heaverlo. It is easy to see that her talents go well beyond fitness!

Please check out this truly beautiful person on Facebook and also on Instagram. You may even want to join one of her online classes which have kept me smiling and at least somewhat sane during quarantine.

I always have a wonderful time with the lovely Shauna Scarlett. I first photographed her back in 2016 as Supergirl. Since then I have photographed her as XD Punk Zelda, Black Cat, Rey, a Hannah Alexander Snow White, White Raven and more!

I was so saddened by the news that Diana Rigg who played Lady Olenna Tyrell in Game of Thrones passed away. She was one of my favorite characters of the show. I met the wonderful carriecloat on Instagram at Wizard World Chicago. She is the only Lady Olenna Tyrell Cosplay that I have ever seen and it was done oh so well. She was perfect!
