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.

Be my Valentine....

Hello! 

I have been a makeup artist for over 9 years now.  I specialize in wedding makeup but have a passion for makeup for editorial and fashion. 
I hope you enjoy my blog as I plan to post weekly on my musings and share my photos of recent work! 
Yesterday my work was featured on the website Wedding Chicks.  The very talented Alea Bebenek of Alea Lovely fine art photography and film making, developed the concept and brought lots of amazing talent together to produce this shoot.  It is a Valentine's Day inspired shoot but we did not want to the traditional red lips look. Here is what I did...

The makeup look consists of: 

foundation: MAC face and body N1

lashes:  Ardell #107 just the outer edges

eyes: MAC pigment in museum bronze, wedge in the crease, and nehru on the outer edges

eyeliner: MAC blacktrack
