Tiny Little Toy

This is Toy. I did a photo shoot for her a few weeks ago and she is just adorable! She wanted photos that played her small stature off of her sexier side. She is all curves and spunk and elfish sexiness. Not all clients have a look that matches what they want their photos to portray – those shoots are a challenge for me and I often fear I fall short. But I feel like I pulled off Toy’s wishes.

Having nothing to do with anything else in this post, I got a new computer! That’s the good news…the bad news is, I have to get him all set up, so I may not be blogging for a day or two. Never fear – I’ll be back as soon as Esteban is up and running. Yes, I name my computers – Fernando is being retired.

A Father’s Love

You may remember the photos I did of Knox a while back. He contacted me to do photos of him and his son and to be honest, I was a little worried. I’ve never done family photos before. I had a few family poses, but I had never used them and needed to adapt them to a single father.

Despite a few technical difficulties, including losing Alex and Knox having to relog to find him again (eek!), we managed to complete the shoot.

He didn’t ask for the quote I included in the top photo, but I thought it was appropriate. It’s the love that makes a man a father…not just providing the DNA.

Shooting Daddy

Someday I will find my prince but my daddy will always be my King.

I am not ashamed to say that I was a Daddy’s girl. I loved my Mom, but my Daddy was my rock, my protector, my hero. The biggest blow of my teenage years was when he died, suddenly, of a heart attack when I was 18. No, I wasn’t a child, but I was still Daddy’s little princess.

I never really had another father figure in my life until I was adopted in Second Life. Echo and Ryker Darkward can never take the place of the parents I still love and are now watching over me from heaven. But they are the nearest I could ever hope to find.

My two sets of parents couldn’t be more different; my real parents were very conservative. I don’t believe Echo and Ryker even know the meaning of the word. My adoptive parents, though, share the most important traits of my natural parents: they are loving, supportive, and always looking out for their family. I couldn’t ask for better.

This morning, my Dad, Ryker, asked me to take photos of him. He’s started DJing in SL and needed a “really bad-ass picture.” I had to go out, but we made time to do his shoot today.

Daddy, I hope these are bad-ass enough. You rock and I love you ♥
