It was confirmed that an image I shot will be included in the Gothic to Goth: Embracing the Dark Side Exhibit at the Allentown Museum of Art in Allentown, PA!  This image will hang along with the jewelry from Atelier Gothique  who will be one of the main features in the exhibit.

Thanks to Atelier Gothique I can knock something off the old bucket list! <3

I haven’t updated here forever. I’m bad. Lots of things have been going on so I guess I have an excuse. October once again was one of my biggest months for publication. Besides the ones posted below, I had several that had to be finished for publications this winter including 2 more covers and 4 editorials that I am still working on. 

This October however, I had the cover of Tattoos Only come out:

I had the cover of Gothic Noir Magazine plus a full editorial inside, come out:

My regular editorial in Dark Beauty Magazine come out plus 3 band interviews:

A full editorial in Auxiliary Magazine:

I had a special editorial in the Breast Cancer issue of Giuseppina Magazine come out:

I had a editorial and back cover of the Halloween issue of Giusppina Magazine:

I have also decided that I will be setting up a table at HorrorHound Columbus 2012 this year, as well as Midwest Haunters Convention 2012.  I will be attending Haunt Con this year as well to support my fellow haunters.  I am also working with Sick-Apparel on a full t-shirt line using my images and some ideas that Shawn has.  Also going to be doing more with bands in the next few months.  2012 is well on the way to being a fun and productive year!  <3

 

Halloween Costume Portrait Special!!

On September 20, 2011, in Events, by Laura

That’s right! $50 for a portrait session in your halloween costume! You bring the costume and I’ll shoot you in all your spooky goodness and send you 6 hi res and websized fully edited images! $50 is paid by paypal or over the phone by CC!

 

I have sold many of books, but the biggest complaint was of course, price. So in order to lower the cost for those who would like to order a book of some of my images, I have made a 5 x 7 “pocket” book of images. There are 50 images all together and they are some of my favorites from the past 5 years. The book is available in softback and hardback and the pages aren’t glossy or coated like my regular books, but this is a cost effect method for anyone interested in owning one of my books but not wanting to spend a lot of money. The paperback is under $20 and the hardback is under $30!

 

My new portfolio magazine is up for sale in print and digital! This is my second installment of print portfolio magazines! <3

Into The Dark - Issue 2

Into The Dark Issue 2:

This is the second issue of my personal portfolio magazine. This magazine includes some never before seen images and some of my favorite halloween and bloody good fun images! <3
