Hat's Off...

I had a great time last weekend when I styled (makeup and hair) for a photo shoot for photographer Mark Shaiken.  I help him select experienced models or models that I think have great potential.  Last weekend's model was Kirsten Moore.  She is one spunky little dish! Luckily she loves hats as much as Mark, so we had fun using a turban (I have a thing for turbans) and a cute little black hat, that had an Annie Hall feel to it.  My fave image is the one with the black hat.  Which one do you like? 

The makeup used in the above image:  MAC Face &Body in C3, eyes: 

MAC pigment in Gold Mode, and soba in the crease. Black track for liner

the lip gloss was custom blended.

 

A Stormy Day..

This past November I had the chance to collaborate with two of my favorite people for a very fun and inspiring day of shooting.  Neal Troester the photographer and one half of the team of Lemon-Lime Photography, developed this concept and Jen Thomas (super-talented hair stylist) and I helped him execute it.  One of the top models in Kansas City Megan Seithel was the star of the day.
Neal found this undisclosed spot that had once been a tornado shelter and that I discovered was not the setting of the Wizard of Oz (LOL, inside joke).  It was a freezing day but Megan is always a trooper and you wouldn't even notice she was one big giant goose bump. 
I hope you enjoy the images.
