Newest photos...

I finally got a few photos back that I can post...Wahoo! Its like xmas when you get that email back from a photographer that has the proofs. I find it so interesting how I do the make up and hair and the models are typically in their regular clothes and I leave a shoot wondering how the photos will turn out. Then when I see the photos from the shoot I am blown away how the models are transformed. So the first few pictures are from a wedding I did in Seattle a month ago before I came to Vegas...the other photos are some taken at the MAGIC convention at the Hilton for Kalyx, an "eco-loving apparel for active women". The model I worked with was Laura Schnieder and she was awesome so much fun to work with. I was lucky enough to meet the owner of the company Kimberly Cayce and the clothes were adorable. You can check out their website at www.gokalyx.com.

Busy week of makeup and hair

I have had the craziest week of doing hair and makeup. First I did a biker inspired shoot with the guys at Brooks Studios Garrett, JB and our model was Mariah. Here is a photo from that shoot....






That shoot was fun and funky. I am excited to see how the pictures turned out when I get them back.






I have been doing makeup for a model for the Magic Convention this week that is in Vegas. She is modeling for a sports apparel company that had a booth at Magic. I will be getting shots from that so I will post those when I get them.

Today I also had a shoot at the Hard Rock Hotel with a LA photographer and a group of models from LA and local to Las Vegas. The look was american apparel with a urban vibe. The looks I did on the girls turned out soooo well I can't wait to see the picts.
