Polychrome Pastels and Photography

Hello! I am alive :D Please enjoy a Christmas shoot featuring my favorite kiddo, my goddaughter! Don't let her face fool you, lots of fun was had!

Bonus points if you can guess the theme for this shoot before the end of the post 😜

In just a few days, this lil bean will be 11mnths, and by the end of next month, she'll be one whole year old 🥹 It's been the best privilege to watch and be able to document her growth during her first year of life! I can't wait to do more for her 💖

For this shoot, we did a 9 3/4 photoshoot and let Miss Calliope choose her first Hogwarts house! She chose Ravenclaw! 😁And I remembered my camera this time!

Just look at this little cutie girl! These are from my goddaughter's 6 month photo shoot 😊❤️

Admittedly, these are VERY belated 😅 It's hard to believe this kid is gonna be nine months here soon! And, further, another forgetful godmom moment- I forgot to charge my usual camera's battery and it died not even halfway through the shoot. Oops!🤦‍♀️🫣 So these were all taken with my phone and, quite frankly, I'm pleased with the turn out considering they're all cell phone pictures 🤷‍♀️😁

I have the absolute cutest goddaughter! 😍😍😍 It was so hard to sift through all of these photos and not edit every single one! I'm so very thankful I got to take these pictures

I still have a whole session left to edit, but I can't get over this picture of my cutie goddaughter! 😍😍😍 Keep your eyes peeled for more later!

As September winds down, so, too, does my art challenge. While it runs through the 30th, I will admit that I worked ahead in order to stay motivated. So as I'm finished with my pieces until daily submissions roll around, have more of my favorite pieces!

Dropped off the face of the earth for a while, but I've been doing an art challenge this month! We're at the halfway mark, so have some of my favorite pieces so far :)

He's been baked :D

Big post tonight 😅 but a fun one, so hang on ;) I don't just do pastels and photography. I also dabble with CLAY! Have an unbaked Grinch Keychain from start to finish 😊 he was actually a super fun piece to work on. He is also not my character. So enjoy something a little different for a change.

I'm still not actively seeking sessions, but once in a blue moon, I do have human subjects.

A beautiful mama on a beautiful day ☺ Thank you, Zelda Forrest, for letting me take your maternity pictures 🙂

Now it's easier to send Polychrome Pastels and Photography a message.

A bat? This is a bat? Yes, I attempted a bat 🦇...Nailed it. 😃

A belated Happy Halloween to you all! Due to my work schedule, I've not been home often, so this is my final piece. I promise it was meant to be a bat 😅 but if you see something else, you're welcome to call it otherwise. As with the other two pieces, this is chalk pastels on homemade white texture paste on a 12.5inx24in canvas.

prompt 2: Owl

I based it loosely on a Horned Owl. This is chalk pastels on homemade texture paste on a 12.5x24in canvas.

A small head's up, there may be delays the next couple weeks due to a new work schedule. In the event i don't get prompt 3 posted next week, it will be posted along with prompt 4.

prompt one: Spider 🕷🕸
This is chalk pastels on homemade black texture paste on a 12.5in×24in canvas, i think. Will have to check dimensions later.

Have the belated reveal of my pumpkin Halloween countdown 😁 the jack o lantern is chalk pastels on homemade black texture paste on a wooden pumpkin shape and the other side is just plain chalkboard paint. starts this week, so stay tuned ;p

Despite the chill, this was a fun session! I'm so glad you guys allowed me to take your engagement pictures 🥰 I wish you two all the happiness in the world ❤️

Two of my favorite humans got engaged a couple of weeks ago! 💍💑 Here's a preview! Congratulations, guys! 🎉🎉🎉

Happy October! I'm a touch late getting my art month started, so stay tuned for it some time next week! In the meantime, have a spider :)

I made this page and it's just sat since. So have a lil preview of the start of my newly dubbed ;p instead of just , I'm putting my own spin on the annual art month and will be doing at least 4 chalk pastel pieces, one prompt per week. I encourage everyone to do Artober, as well. If it's a chalk or chalk pastel piece, please add to the Chalktober tag! I'd love to see your work :3

I was honored to be commissioned to shoot the wedding of Robert Wynn III and Sierra D'Nay Russel. This is just a preview for you folks. A full gallery will not be posted.
