a Collaboration

I often take test shots and keep sakes in between shoots and clothing/location changes.

Back in March my good friend Heather came to me with an amazing idea that I just had to help make a reality for her. She's been on the blog via this and this event, but I know her as the make up guru who taught me everything I know!

Ally was obviously the first choice to play the part of model and was stunning as usual. We spent the day outside listening to music and goofing in between wardrobe changes. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that Heather made that incredible wig! There really isn't anything better then working with friends.

Heather now does make up independently based out of Dallas and is available for booking. She was trained at the MAKE UP FOR EVER SCHOOL in Paris and is seriously the best there is. I feel so comfortable doing my make up on a day to day basis thanks to Heathers teachings. You can find her amazing work on Facebook!

Now for the good stuff...

Happy 1st Birthday, Make Up For Ever!

Last Saturday I got the chance to shoot at Make Up For Ever Northpark 1 year anniversary/Aqua event hosted by Sally and Molly from A Piece Of Toast blog. It was extremely fun and the turn out was amazing! I took tons of pictures, got my face done up and chow'd down on some incredible cupcakes.

Events seem to be my theme as of lately, I don't mind a bit! I am missing doing portrait quite bit. I'll definitely be picking up the pace pretty soon in that category and doing some collaborations in the near future. Until then, here's some of the pictures from the event! I wish I could share them all but man, I that would overwhelming. 

The beautiful and very sweet Sally and Molly! 

Thanks so much Make Up For Ever crew for inviting me out! 

Make Up For Ever

In March I did some before and after shoots for the Make Up For Ever store in Dallas. My good friend, Heather (who is assistant manager there) went to the Make Up For Ever school in Paris. Needless to say, I'm totally jealous I'm pretty clueless about make up as it is. Well besides eyeliner, mascara and eyebrow pencil and even there...I'm iffy to be honest. Most days I don't even wear make up and when I say most days, I mean I'll go a week and half without putting on a stick of it. But hey, I'm trying and that's all I can do.

The main shooting I did there was on a sweet girl named Brettlyn who came in to get her make up done for her birthday! She was awesome and Heather is a pro so she got did up really nice. The pictures I took were mostly of the process. I had so much fun doing this and I can't wait to shoot for them again in a few weeks.
