I joined Deviant Art 2 years ago recommended by my good friend and photographer Michael Maynard



Little did I know then, not only how much I would come to love and appreciate photography as an art but also how much my own images would be appreciated – I hit 10,000 views this week!!!!!!


One of the very first photographers I came to love and appreciate was Lara Jade aka: larafairie

It has been such a pleasure over the last few years ‘watching’ this gifted photographer who not only creates the most amazing images but is also so very beautiful (check out her self-portraits):





Her images tell such a story but in a timeless way.  When I look at them, I want to literally step inside the picture, not only because I want to be the model (yes ENVY is one of the 7 sins!)….lol but the images just grab hold of my imagination…..they are just flawless!!!





They create such a magical, timeless feel that could be from the latest glossy high end editorial campaign to a priceless work of art created by one of the old masters!!!!





I recently set up my own Burlesque Act ~ CHERIE BEBE ~ and needed some new images.  I knew exactly who I wanted to take them





Not only is LARA JADE a gifted and talented photographer she is also one of the loveliest and most beautiful people I have had the pleasure of meeting.  It was such a pleasure and a privilege to work with her and the results speak for themselves!!!

I wanted to create a ‘vintage’ feel and asked Lara for something like Phantom of the Opera meets Interview With The Vampire….. ….. this image portrays this perfectly.  I can honestly say never before has anyone been able to look right inside my imagination and create what I am thinking….. !!!!!  


I love my new images


LARA JADE is amazing!!!!!!
