Fingerwaves!

My friend Linsday, did these beautiful fingerwaves on me yesterday, and I promised her I would capture them in a photo for her. What do you think? Fingerwaves are SO HARD to do, and she and I were perfecting our skills yesterday. I love all these amazing things I'm learning, it's so much fun.

Thanks for all the support guys, you're the best!

Bernadette

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of shooting Bernadette in the studio - she was so much fun! She wanted to add a casual lifestyle/ fall-feeling look to her portfolio, so out came the hats and sweaters! With her fiery red hair and her bright eyes, it's been super hard to choose from so many pictures. Fantastic! :)

Sierra

Last week I had new model, Sierra, over to give her a more sophisticated look for her portfolio. We went over model posing, use of light and overall just learning how to relate to the camera. She was such a sweet girl and we had alot of fun! Look at the cute pics we got!

Alyssa Lei

Earlier this week, Alyssa came and we went over some ideas she wanted to add to her portfolio. Something soft and romantic, and then maybe something fun with bright makeup. For the first I ended up using some flowers and soft lighting to create the effect she wanted, and then for the second, I had some crazy fiery fabric that I framing around her face with some colorful makeup to match. It was really fun, and we got some great shots! Here's a few!

Erica Annie

Last week was one of my favorite shoots ever :) I have been thinking about this concept for a long time, and, being a Makeup Artist - I knew I'd have enough things handy to pull it off! Erica was the perfect model for this - beautiful, funny and easy to work with. My friend Valerie came over and was so patient with me as I directed her to move pieces of product here, there, no, over there lol. I wanted this to be (obviously) very girly, but also with a sense of maturity and womanliness - and Erica truly captured it all!

Miss Mary

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I haven't updated in so long. It's been so insanely busy! Mary came over the week and we did a very fun shoot with her. First we did a set with her reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour. Very fun! What I loved about Mary was that although she is a young woman, she has a very mature look about her. So she was easily able to pull off these looks. Then we gave her a soft, touchable look with some windswept hair. Lovely!

Kyleen

Last week Kyleen came to visit and we had such a great time at her shoot! The reason I had wanted to shoot with her, was that not only was she so beautiful, but that I could tell from her portfolio that she had such a perfect, gorgeous complexion. Us ladies know, that's hard to come by! I have long wanted to do a side by side shot on the same face - namely, that half of the models face would be her own natural skin, and on the other I would paint natural beauty makeup. And look how lovely it came out!



Kyleen was so fun to be around, that we decided we wanted to do another set with her. So I changed her hair, tossed her a dress and worked on some funky makeup for her. She is such a good model, knows how to pose naturally and create beautiful lines with the light. Thank you so much Kyleen!
