CosFamily
I've met some amazing people in my tenure cosplaying and I love all of them dearly, so I'd like to take a moment to introduce you to my cosplay family! The photos you'll see here are generally the cosplays of which I know them best, but check out their pages to see lots more awesome stuff!!
WOLF Cosplay is one of my con besties. We met a few years ago at a TWEWY shoot and she quickly became one of my favorite people to hang with as cons. We've since done a bunch of cosplay together and have plans to do more in the future!

When you bond over Fire Emblem, you make friends for life, which is evident with Veneficus Magister here. You can find her awesome cosplay on facebook and deviantArt.

While we may have met as Ace Attorney fans, I truly fell in love with Drop Dead Meg's awesome cell-shading skills on her Borderlands cosplay!

Chrissy is one of the friendliest, warmest people you'll ever meet and I always enjoy seeing her at cons. Also, an adorable Wild Style (among other costumes) to boot!!

Marc is one of the most technologically talented people I know, so it naturally follows that we first met at a steampunk event. He does amazing work with lights, as you can see from the photo, so if you ever need to make anything glow, he's the guy to talk to!

Another of my cosplay besties, I also met Salem at a TWEWY shoot (though not the same one as WOLF) and I now spend most of my con time with her because we've made a habit of doing related cosplays. It helps when pretty much all of your fandoms overlap.

Risuru-chan and I met a few years ago at Colossalcon as Sho and Kariya from TWEWY. We later bonded over a mutual love of Persona!

Yet another Fire Emblem friend, and wonderful cosplayer of the wolf queen of Hatari, among other things. Sadly I don't get to see Lady Aerith Fair as often as I'd like, but she is still near and dear to my heart.

Ace Attorney people are also a wonderful bunch, and Kevin is among my favorites in the fandom! Don't see him nearly often enough but always enjoy it when I do.

I met Heckin Sleepy Cosplay a long time ago, honestly I don't remember when but we bonded over Persona and I finally got to cosplay with him at our P5 shoot. An all-around awesome dude, and a great cosplayer.

Another Fire Emblem connection! And Kaze here is all about the Emblems. He's the only person I'm aware of ever cosplaying Stefan so that wins lots of points in my book! Be forewarned, he doesn't have a cosplay page so the link is to his personal tumblr and thus may not be suitable for all audiences XD

My dearest Rion, how can I possibly articulate the joy you bring to my life. We met in Ace Attorney cosplay and have essentially just become Phoenix and Edgeworth in real life (we even call each other that, it's stupidly cute). We've done paired costumes that no one else would ever recognize, we've been all kinds of couples and you remain one of my favorite people I've met through con-going, period.

Dom is always a blast to hang out with at cons, and I'm sad I don't usually get to spend much time with him. While we don't cosplay much from the same series, he does some awesome stuff!

I honestly don't know when I first met Madster, but I finally got to know her a lot better after our Persona 5 shoot at Youma 2017. She's a fantastic cosplayer and photographer!
