:bulletgreen: Updates / News! :bulletgreen:

First of all before anything, I want to thank everyone that has been giving me favorites and comments!  Even though I don't always reply, every :+fav:, comment, and especially :+devwatch: is appreciated and keeps me going!

ACen was fun and tiring, but the main reason for my inactivity as of late is because I moved over the weekend.  I should be back uploading within a few days, as of now my desktop isn't set up so I can't work on any of my photos... and I have a ton to work on.  I'm going to try to set my desktop up tonight but I can't promise any posts ^^;

:kitty: Groups to check out ! :kitty:

:iconno-touchy:  Group for posting photos that have not been photoshopped beyond belief.  If you're a photographer that primarily or occasionally produces work that is not retouched at all please check out my group!
:iconunder30faves:  It's a nice group to be a part of if you're not getting the number of favorites or views you are hoping for with your work.  I suggest checking them out!

:bulletblue: FAQ :bulletblue:

Q: I like your work, can you take photos of me?

A: If you're a convention goer and want cosplay / fashion photos, please note me here!  A list of the conventions I plan to go to is below:

March 17 - Shutocon Done!
March 24 - Animarathon [100% unless sick.  It's free so the price is right.] Done!
April 27-29 - Anime Central [100%.  Hotel: Crowne Plaza] Done!
June 24 - JAFAX [100% Sunday only.  Glass City Con is cancelled so I'm going to need my fix.  Will be posting in forums later to try to get photo shoots lined up.]
July 14-15 - Glass City Con [100% unless sick.  Commuting.] Glass City Con has been cancelled D:
August 3-5 - GoDaiko Con [100%.  I need my fix >.>]
November 1-4 - Youmacon [100% even if sick >.>  Probably staying in hotel.]

I'm considering visiting these conventions as well (these are not definite!):

June 7-10 - Colossalcon [5%.  Looking like a no unless I happen to come across some money from bowling tournaments or something, or photography.]

Does anyone know of any good conventions in the Midwest between July and October?  March - June has enough convention activity but there's a distinct lull between August and Youmacon in November for me and I want to fill it.  I'd be looking for cons in Michigan, Ohio, or Indiana to fill the void!

If you are not a convention goer and are just interested in a general portrait photo session, please check out my main website for information on a photo session.


Q: How much do you cost?

A: I do free sessions at conventions and provide low resolution images (800px longest side & watermarked) for non-profit use.  Licenses to full size photos without watermarks for printing and non-profit use are available for a fee per photo.  Non-convention sessions will vary in price depending on travel distance and session length.  I'm located in Southeast Michigan so I'm willing to do sessions across Southern Michigan, Northwest Ohio, and other nearby areas.  Please check [link] for my Anime Convention pricing info.  


Q: Do you have any other sites with your photography?

A: I do!

Portfolio / Main site - [link]
Facebook - [link]
Photoblog - [link]
Cute Things / Convention Photograhy (Not updated much anymore, general convention photos go to facebook now) - [link]


Q: May I use your art / photography on my site/blog/icon/theme/etc?

Please contact me before using any of my photos that are not marked with a creative commons license.  The creative commons licensed images are fine to use in a non-profit manner.

---- Me ----

Things I really like to photograph:

#1 - Lolita Fashion
#2 - Cute animals / kids... and by "kids" I mean at least old enough to be going to school.
#3 - Other cute things in general.
(Obviously I like cute...)
#4 - Flowers

Things I really don't want to photograph:

#1 - Anything bloody / disgusting... I might make an exception for guro lolita.
#2 - Things that aren't cute or pretty in general xD

Things I probably wont photograph:

#1 - Babies. I like kids when they grow up but I'm not a baby person... an exception to this will be if I ever have my own kids.
#2 - Nudes. Maybe this is a surprise for a male but I just find models with clothing on to make more interesting subjects. It also makes sense with me liking lolita fashion and such that I'd prefer to photograph clothed models.
