Sugar Blossom Cosplay as Black Cat

Sugar Blossom is a cosplayer in the Washington, D.C. area. She contacted me to do a shoot as Marvel’s Black Cat, a former burglar turned detective/super-hero (and dated Spider-Man for a period of time!). Though Sugar Blossom wanted the shoot to showcase Black Cat’s sexiness, shooting the character is kind of tricky – Black Cat is often hyper-sexualized with revealing outfits and incredibly seductive posing. We went with poses that were a bit more tame than how she is usually depicted and […]

Lauren Venezia as Black Canary

Black Canary is an expert in martial arts and Lauren has martial arts experience which you’ll see in one of the photos below (as well as the Canary Cry!). Cosplay shoots are super fun and working with Lauren […]

2014 Growing Hope Picnic

Growing Hope is a local 501(c)(3) charity that “provides supportive, non-medical care to children with cancer and their families.” I have personally seen this organization in action and they are great people who really care. Every year they throw a picnic at Nottoway Park in Vienna, Virginia for pediatric cancer patients, their families, and the staff that takes care of them to enjoy time together outside of the clinical setting. These are just a few images from this year’s picnic. It’s […]
