My photos from major work shoot with Stephen A'Court arrived just in time to reflect on my year. The past year has been a (challenging) blast. Super busy at times, but always fun, and I had the chance to work on so many great projects. Original design Disney meets Warcraft by LiberLibelula

Somehow I never posted a photo of the hat which goes with this dress! Late 18th century riding hat, complete with ridiculously big bow, but still comparatively subtle
