So happy to have finished this piece today! Thanks to Hasie and Clara for being the awesome models as always! And to Rhea Mccarter Craft, owner and operator of Adore Boutique in Austin, TX, the amazing makeup artist, and the fabulous Eden Hinshaw, who I miss doing shoots like this with!!!
I decided to revise this particular image b/c I’m exploring double exposures. I think it brings a different aesthetic to my work that I was looking for! Now that I’ve found it I’m continuing this artistic discovery for the rest of the “Twin Element” body of work. I’m hoping that it will convey a sense of wonder and closeness that I wasn’t getting before. Hope people will like it as much as I do. On to the next!
Rooted Above, Twin Elements. 25″x17″. 2017. Platinum prints on vellum w/silver comp leaf. Inquire for price info@lesleynowlinblessing.com

Excited about this new piece I just created. Going to get in the darkroom soon! Think I’ll do platinum on vellum with copper, but I’m also really wanting to learn the albumen process! That might take some time though. For now, I’m very happy with this “Our Reflection” piece that I’ll be printing soon.
Thanks again to Rhea Mccarter Craft, owner and operator of Adore Boutique in Austin, TX, the amazing makeup artist. Chancy Cone, also from Adore Boutique, was the fabulous hair designer. Amy V. Cooper, owner and operator of Trove Agency was my fantastic assistant. Thank you for being wonderful models, Alexis & Courtney!! “Twin Elements”

Both photoshoots went really well the other day. I’m happy to be shooting again. #WorkingMoms
One photo shoot was headshots for an actress (I never do these! Surprisingly fun.) #ActressHeadshot
The second shoot was for a commission. A portrait of a woman with the final piece being a large platinum (10-20 prints) on vellum w/gold. Going to be a lot of work but excited to get started on it! #PlatinumPhotography

What a night! Thanks to all who came out to the opening! It was a great time, and thank you to all the participating artists and Susannah Morgan, Davis Gallery curator, for putting this together.
Here’s a pic of me and my good friend Amy Cooper next to the portrait I made of her and her twin sister Alison. It looks a lot bigger than I thought it would! Yay.
