I, along with an amazing talented group of people, including Sara Lucero (the master mind behind it all) , have been featured on Burnetts Boards. If you have not visited this site, please please do yourself a favor. It is filled with so much eye candy I can barely stand it. This will benefit you if you are a bride full of scattered ideas!
I love remembering this beautiful shoot, it’s been one of my favorite photoshoots and doing the hair and makeup was truly an honor!

Photoshoot : lovely bridal breakfast party

It feels so good to be back. Back on my blog, that is. I apologize for the loooong delay! Things have been hectic, with moving to Texas and all. I will have to write about my experience sometime later, but for now let me pleasure your little eyes with this AMAZING photo shoot, I’ve been dying to share it. It was such an honor working with these people, seriously. All the hard work payed off as it was just recently featured in the 100 Layer Cake Blog! The models for this shoot were absolutely stunning, making my job as a MUA way easier than it should be. My favorite thing to do was the false lashes, it made the whole look POP. Good job everybody, and especially to the genius behind this marvelous project, Sara Lucero (the photographer, duh). Sit back, enjoy, and be prepared to be amazed.

beauty photoshoot

It’s always good to photograph special moments in life. Which is why I loved working on this shoot with the beautiful Sarina, she’s celebrating a few things in her life (birthday and college graduation) and now has these great pictures to remember them by. This was shot by Daniel Cruz, photographer and boyfriend to the lovely girl.

a 1960′s mod fashion shoot

A few weeks ago, I got the opportunity to make up a lovely young face for a very impromptu photoshoot. Her name is Amanda and she is just the sweetest little thing. My sweet friend Sara Lucero, she envisions things, and they come to life, I love it! As soon as she knew she wanted it to be MOD themed, a dress popped in her mind and bold black eyeliner into mine. We had a blast! Here are a few of my favorites, enjoy!

Engagement Shoot: Tereneh and Ryan

I am so incredibly blessed to have been a part of this engagement shoot. Tereneh is probably one of the nicest brides to be I have ever encountered. It was such a pleasure to work on such a radiant face. I was excited to see these pictures as soon as the hair was done (seriously you guys, props to Ashley Wheatley for those phenomenal curls!). Sara girl, you knocked it out of the park. Here are a few of my favorite shots.

a lovely little wedding: Nicolette and Richard

I have to apologize for being so late on the bloggage lately. I have not gotten into the routine of working with a baby completely, but I’m getting there! So here’s a, not so recent, face I dolled up for a sweet little ceremony. I’ve probably said about a thousand times how much I love working with Sara Lucero, so here’s a thousand and one. Nicolette and Richard finally had their wedding after being married for a few years, and boy did she look gorgeous! She was so much fun to chat with too, not to mention the adorable little babies she has. I also did her hair, which was accented beautifully with a sweet hair piece. I was honored to be part of such a special day. P.S. I LOVE her eyes.

A DIY Coffee Inspired Wedding: Kristin + Jason

One of my closest friends (and old roomie) got married last month, this girl is seriously like a sister to me and we could spend hours on the phone. I was honored to be a part of her special wedding day as a bridesmaid and makeup artist, and I love her with my whole heart! We had all been very patiently waiting for this day to arrive, especially the beautiful bride. So, here is the day captured by the lovely Bethany Murphy.

The morning was quite relaxing and our sweet Kristin was so calm. Doing her makeup was nothing but girl chat and laughter. Her hair was done by one of the finest hair dressers and “Bestie of Honor”, Crystal VanBrimmer.

Oh, I forgot to mention this girl loves her coffee! Yes, we made a stop at Starbucks on the way to the ceremony.

Isn’t she absolutely stunning? This is my personal favorite. She belongs in a magazine.
