I'm finally back!! This time around, I'll be giving myself an 11th century Norse Viking makeover.

I used a lot of garments that I already had in my kit to save on budget, but they work so well for this 11th century ensemble too.

I travelled to Iceland to finish up shooting a documentary I've been working on for 2 years now, and in the mean time I also got to pose with some beautiful Icelandic horses 🥰
