New dark pinup work w/ Melia D'Mure!

How’s it going, Hive? I’ve had to take a couple days off from the blog. Trying to get caught up on some @eos.detroit work before venturing to the east coast to visit the team on my way to visit @bonni, @customnature and friends in Pennsylvania. I may even escape for a day or two to visit @lovejoy. So much going on, the momentum is tough to keep up with but it’s all such purposeful work, it’s hard to keep it from consuming me. Hive is my chance to unplug so that’s why I’m here.

I have some new photography to share. A few photos with my dear friend and longtime muse, Melia D’Mure. I met Melia years ago in Los Angeles at the height or my rise to dark pinup notoriety. I believe 2015, and since then, we’ve shot several times and remained close friends. She’s one of my most consistent supporters, even being a steady patron my Patreon for years. At heart, she’s a nerd, like me, and we once even did a Star Fleet uniform shoot. One of the many reasons I adore her so very much.

Two of these photos are new from our most recent shoot in LA. Taken last November during my drive across country to photography a wedding in Southern California, Melia picked me up from the airport and heading to my favorite haunted mansion in Pasadena. After nearly a year of quarantines fear of the outside world, it was liberating to see someone I hold so dear, and to shoot with them again. These were some of my favorite photos with Melia to date.

There are more coming from this shoot and definitely other gems from our archives of shoots over the years. I love finding the time to revisit shoots with Melia. For the next week or so, I’ll be trying to mentally prepare for this upcoming trip. There are several big projects lined up that will be coming to the world while I’m on the road. Fortunately, I’m battle tested with being productive while traveling, so I know I’ve got this. Thanks for reading and enjoy the new photography. Have a great night!
