Diamonds with some customer loyalty.

Today  I was back in the studio with JC. We had a special request by a past client, to do another shoot.
There is no greater feeling to know that a customer loves and appreciates your work. Also its always refreshing to do makeup and photoshoots with women that DO NOT desire to be models.


The last time I got to work with Tiny, she wanted to have some special pictures done for her birthday.
But it turned out that she loved the pictures so much, she couldnt wait to get all dolled up for her second shoot.  Getting pictures taken are a great way to build your self esteem and boost your confidence.  
A natural beauty by heart, Tiny says she never wears makeup. For her birthday I kept her look very natural with shades of brown and gold.  But her confidence has definetly grown since then, and she rocked her smoldery smokey eye look infront of the camera!!

Speaking of rocking it... I think I found my Muse in Arianna Kailan.  Since our last shoot, I couldnt resist to have her back in the studio again. Her face is the perfect canvas for all creative concepts. And with her modelling skills, im sure she can make a paper bag look Haute Couture. So what other choice did I have to bedazzle her with diamonds?



3 Packs of hair extensions, 2 pairs of lashes and about 30 diamonds later, she was camera ready ones more. I wanted to do something a little bit more high-fashion and out of the box.  She actually brought clothes that went perfectly with what I had in mind. Models take note...Arianna is definetly a force to be reckoned with!



Unfortunatly I was functioning on only 3 hours sleep, forcing me to pack up and leave early for my night shift later on. It seems like a lack of sleep is becoming as pattern. for me. But when you love your craft, you will put everything out of the way to continue doing what brings you joy. I missed Arianna's second outfit change. Looking back at all  backstage pics I took, I cant wait to see the final project and I know loosing sleep was worth it!
