Happy Trans Day of Visibility!

It's especially important during these challenging times to keep our inner lights shining brightly as possible - we must refuse to stop living authentically and unapologetically but also must keep our eyes wide open. I'm not planning on going anywhere, and will continue to do my best as a friend and ally any way I can. That said, it's been brought to my attention that the booking calendar has not been working. Until changes to the system have been ironed out and self-scheduling restored, the most efficient way to book an appointment while the calendar is inaccessible will be over the phone: 651-300-2479. If I'm unable to pick up leave a text on the best time to reach you and I'll call back asap. Hope you're enjoying warmer spring weather wherever you are! 🌷✨

Photoshoot Ideas

The last couple of years have been challenging. After surviving two years of heavy restrictions in how we engage with the world, a new-found sense of inspiration has led me to try and reestablish what has been started here, and to continue to provide a fun and supportive space where men can explore and express the feminine.

World Peace = everyone gets a photoshoot. Lol A thousand times YES. Who are you - really...? I'd like to visually delve into this topic with you. And while we're at it, let's make some art!

Some themes I'd love to shoot:

• Red Lipstick Rebellion 💄💋

• Flower Power 🌷🪻🌼 I have experience as a floral designer, and have a membership to a Koehler and Dramm, (the midwest's largest floral distribution company) and can buy any type of flower your heart desires! I am especially interested in the Victorian custom of communicating through historical meanings attributed to flowers. I have several books on the topic and will post more on this soon.

• “Stockholm Style” (clean girl aesthetic)

• French Revolution

• Harajuku Girls

• Film Noir

• Hommage to Trixie Mattel

• Floral - I have a membership to a floral distribution company and experience with floral arrangements

• America 1960's - 70's hippie culture - because the outfits were awesome then. Also the music

• Anything Victorian. I'm obsessed with handmade lace and tintypes

• 1970s motel scene. Have a local one on Snelling Avenue in St Paul in mind. Still features a sign for "color TV"

• Gothic style

• Faerie in a coal mine. (I try to forget this one but keeps resurfacing :)

• Pinup! How would you like to have a framed, pastel painting of yourself as a pinup girl...?? I can, and would love the opportunity to do this for you

• Mod-styled shoot. Think Twiggy or Jeannie Shrimpton 1965

• Rainy day - I have a clear vinyl belted rain jacket and matching umbrella!

I'd love to hear your ideas! Tired of basic backdrops - let's tell your stories!

Studio Update

Recently there have been requests for a current photograph of the studio, and I thought the website blog might be a great place to share one with anyone who might be curious:) Yesterday the perfect opportunity for a current studio shot arose while opening up floor space and setting up a new lighting sytem in preparation for an upcoming shoot. Just under 1,000 sq ft in total, the LFM studio utilizes about half of the space for makeup, styling and photography; the rest includes a dressing room, kitchenette (I sling a wicked cup of espresso for guests) and bathroom. A corner is reserved for comfortable mini manicures and just hanging out for some quality girl time 😊✨

Hope you have a chance to come and visit soon!
