Sherri

Sherri enlisted me to be her makeup artist for both her shower and her wedding. She is absolutely adorable with doll like features and sass to boot. I love this look as well as the portrait, though this is not the look we went with. I took her before and after photos to show the enhancement makeup can make though I feel she is quite beautiful without. I did her hair as well but to my dismay I have no really good pictures of it.
Stay tuned for the wedding.

Allison

photoshoot with Allison tonight. This particular shoot was hard because she is my best friend and i want to do her justice. She is the most beautiful person inside and out and I wanted that to come across in the images. She was very hard to pose and we just kept laughing at eachother. sometimes it is easier with strangers. Anyway i love how they came out and i have been working on them all night. I'm very tired. hope you enjoy these.

Before and After Makeup

These images are of women whose makeup I had done at Mirror Mirror in VT. They were lovely to speak with and I always enjoy meeting new people. I took these to show my skill as a makeup artist (working with a natural look) as well as the quality of Laura Mercier products. I'm looking forward to showing more extreme night time looks and possibly character makeup in future posts.
Thanks for visiting!

Website

I began working on my website today while Izzy was napping and Len was at work. Basically the first page is the only part that is done due to the fact that Isabella only slept for a couple of hours. I am modeling the site after the business cards that Len created for me because I want everything to be consistent and polished. This was very difficult to make decisions about because I want it to show my personality while remaining professional and tight. I am vintage crazed through and through and I wanted it to be stylized in that fashion while still keeping it simple and to the point. I would appreciate as much feedback as possible.

Jennifer

While I was in VT I tried to do some personal work (jarring) and some slightly less personal work (pretty). Jennifer Hathaway was my muse. I started thinking of Barbie but in a beautiful and unconventional way. Jen has long legs and can put herself into these uncomfortable poses that I look for in a good model. I enjoy uncomfortable photographs that make the viewer question the content of a photograph. Jen is beautiful but doesn't have to be beautiful all the time and I love her for it... She sat in dirt in her pretty pink dress, hiked it up, went barefoot and did whatever I asked. Here are the beautiful and sometimes wonderful/creepy results.










Burlington, VT

I had the pleasure of working at a cute little boutique called Mirror Mirror in Burlington, VT last weekend. Saying it was a great trip would be an understatement, it was wonderful. The ladies that work in this store are the most helpful and genuinely friendly people I have ever met. I photographed a few of the girls I made over, though I wish I had a group shot. The owner Joanne and the manager Lindsay are amazing and keep their workers and customers very happy. What can I say, there is something in the water. So if you ever find yourself in Burlington stop by Mirror Mirror.
