I Feel Pretty!









I was recently asked to pose as a subject for Erin L. Hubbs for her Dash of Light portrait series. Being a lover of all things vintage and glamourous, of course I jumped up and down at the opportunity!
Erin designed a set and built a custom crystal chandelier based on my personality. Having absolutely no modeling experience, I was a bit nervous about posing. It's completely different for me as a makeup artist to be the one in front of the camera! But you can't help but be comfortable around Erin. She put me at ease and helped guide me into poses that were flattering, but still natural, and she chose lighting and angles that complemented me.
I will treasure these photos for many years. Somehow Erin took pictures that were so personal and really captured who I was and what I love. I can't wait to hang these photos accross from my Bridal Portrait in my house, ready to show off to my guests. Thank you Erin for making me feel pretty!

So Beautiful it's Exhausting












Ever notice how in fashion magazines, the models look so bored and tired? Erin L. Hubbs of Greendoor Imaging and I decided to do our own version of this. Erica Moore Fink was the perfect model. I was so excited to work with such a beautiful girl in such beautiful surroundings. Laura Massie of Head Over Heels Event Planning was kind enough to lend us her fabulous house for the shoot, which was the ultimate backdrop to this beautiful, but exhausing themed shoot.
Thanks again to an incredible team - I hope to work with all of them again in the future!
