Photoshoot: Cherry Blossom, A Peaceful Day
When I found out Stardust Megu was cosplaying best boy Cherry Blossom from Sk8: The Infiniti, I had to jump on this! Not just because Cherry Blossom is my favorite character in the series, but also Megu is a talented cosplayer who I have seen over the years getting better and better! So we found a nice park and did some amazing portrait style shots. Why? Peace. One thing Cherry Blossom could use is a peaceful day.

So out of the blue, my friend Esme asked me if I would do a photoshoot with her. Sure, absolutely! She told me that it’s not anime, but basically one of her favorite fandoms… Hey Arnold!. I said I’d do it. I didn’t watch the entire series, but I did watch episodes here and there, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. And her friend Jess, who remembers me as Ranma Saotome, was involved and excited too! And I have to say, this is one of those photoshoots where you look at the photos, you can hear it!

Kirameki Cosplay is a longtime friend of mine. I didn’t even realize how long we have been friends until I checked the date on these photos. What I like about her is the smiles she has when she’s at cons cosplaying. It just melts your heart. And you’re gonna love this shoot and her smile, especially if you’re a Tales of… fan!

Sometimes on the fly cosplay shoots work out way too well. I had just ran into Atlas Maryn, we were trying to coordinate a time to shoot, and she had free time right then and there. Granted I only had about 15 minutes of free time, but it sure as hell worked out!

Saturday morning at Zenkaikon and I spotted this Samus Aran cosplayer, and next thing you know, photoshoot time! I had a lot of fun with doing an on the fly shoot such as this.
