This was AZPM's first cosplay focused event and we were so excited to introduce a whole new group of people to the community! Little did we know, this event would open so many doors for us later in the year! Check out a few memorable moments from the event!

Going Green 

 On April 30th, we hosted Going Green at Dream Factory to celebrate Earth Day. This was our first eco-focused event, as all of the sets were made from recyclable materials. This was also the first AZPM event to include a clothing swap! It was such a blast and all the leftover items were donated to a good cause! Take a look at some of the content made that day!

Fun in the Sun 

On June 17th, we hosted our first AZPM pool party of the year! Fun in the Sun was held in the lovely home of @bretthphotovideo and featured multiple indoor and outdoor shooting locations.

July

AZPM Rewind

 On July 15th, we hosted AZPM Rewind at Dream Factory! Rewind was all about bringing back some of the community's favorite sets from the past, as well as the unveiling of our very first cube installation at Dream Factory! This very special event helped us make our mark on the studio we love and finished off with a BANG! All those in attendance for the afternoon slot got to enjoy the incredibly talented fire artist, Lady Nichole, as she lit up the studio!

 Bubble Bash

On July 29th, we just had to have another pool party! And so, Bubble Bash was born! This pool party/barbeque/photoshoot was so much fun! We had to bring back our favorite local DJ, GL7TCH, to mix up the music again and get the party vibes in motion! Take a look at some of our favorite shots from the day!

70's in the Studio 

On August 19th, we were back at Dream Factory Studio for our grooviest event of the year! 70's in the Studio was an absolute blast! The music, the vibes, the CONTENT! It was truly one of the best events of the year. We roller skated the day away and got some really amazing photos.

September

AZPM Blackout 

On September 9th, we turned off all the lights in Dream Factory Studio for a blackout event! Neon lights, black lights, and RGB lights illuminated the studio while the walls were adorned with tapestries made by @thepourhippy. This combo made for a truly psychedelic shoot.

Dancing in the Desert

On September 23rd, the weather was just to good to not go run around in the desert at golden hour. We met up at Papago Park for a ravewear inspired desert photoshoot. During the sunset, our community was able to capture the glow of the desert, but when the sun went down, the lights came out! RGB lights showcased the models in a magical way!

November

Lights, Camera, Fashion

On November 4th, we partnered with @caringfortheearthdressrentals for our most fashionable event of the year! The whole front of the studio was filled with racks of formal gowns that were perfect to strut down the pink carpet it in! Oh, and did we mention that all of the gowns were on sale for $5? Yeah, it was kind of amazing. Check out some of the shots from this day!
