I love the moon, it is rich in symbolism, and appears in folklore and myths from all over the world. If you think about it, this bright glowing orb in the night, connected the world, long before technology. The moon, the stars, and the sun...it doesn't matter where on earth you live, the sky is the one thing that we all share.
Here is a set of edited images from last nights shoot.
Check out my last post for unedited pics:

The "moon" in the images is actually a glass candle holder with a small flashlight inside.
I also got a sweet deal on a over-sized fake flower. After Valentines Day sales are awesome for props!
I also tucked the little dollarstore flashlight into the big flower for a glowing magical effect.
I also took some photos that were more about the hair. I really like the silver hair trend that's been going on the last few years, but I HATE upkeep of that sort of thing so I never even tried to dye my actual hair. A wig is the perfect solution for me, even if I will probably never wear it out of the house.
I also took a very small amount with a blue flashlight, that I think gives an almost eerie ethereal look.
I have a couple of composite images. I am not sure If I will post them each separately with all the "before" images that went in to each composite like I did with this post:

Or if I will do just one post with the final composites, like I did here:

I will probably make a few more before I decide so tell me what you guys would rather see.
