I’m so glad to finally showcase diversity on my website.

Isn’t she fabulous?

More to come of Camille….

Okay, well maybe because it’s a full fledged hair and makeup one too.

But, indulge me.

This is Sylvia.

Her creamy perfectly toned skin was just begging to be lit up.

I spent the day with Sylvia and her daughter (the amazing Heather of Weddings by Heather) yesterday. Our families were laughing, swimming, grilling and having great conversation all while we transformed Sylvia’s look.

Heather colored it and I styled it. Then came my turn to transform the brows and her face.

Sylvia was a great subject. Affable and totally soaking up the experience she just let us do what we wanted.

Look at the “oh.my.gosh.” results!

My favorite part was when Sylvia went to the big mirror to look at herself for the first time.  She squealed and literally could not stop looking at her reflection!!

She’s such a gorgeous woman. Her tenderness and lovely nature exude from her. And now,  she’s got that Va Va Voom factor goin’ on!

Carrie is one of those rare women that is confident in her own skin, sweetly inspiring and without a doubt a fabulous girlfriend to have.

I’m usually the one that listens and cajoles my clients into feeling comfortable before being in front of the camera during a shoot.  Instead, I found myself reveling in her presence and really bonding.

Being with Carrie,  Heather- the amazing whiz behind the lens and Denise the “Hair Whisperer” who works her magic on every one’s locks was like being in a room with my best girlfriends.

Secrets hilariously shared, beauty unveiled and friendships strengthened.

I am so pleased to reveal this before and after.

She just happens to be the wildly talented and successful force behind Weddings by Heather.

But, here… she is just another pretty face.   (ha!)

And she’s kind enough to allow a pretty phenomenal before and after photo.

She has an understated beauty in her rich features and sparkling eyes.

Recently, I had the pleasure of giving her a few lessons.

I love how “unmade-up” she looks after and how the emphasis is still on how naturally pretty she is.

You should always get complimented on how pretty YOU look.

Not how nice your MAKEUP looks.

It’s important to make sure that YOU are wearing your makeup and that the MAKEUP isn’t wearing you.

Jenn was celebrating her 40th birthday with a pampering day and a boudoir photo shoot.

Lots of fun, lots of information about great skincare and lots of tips and tricks she has added to her beauty arsenal.

Most of all, she enjoyed a day all about her.

How many of us can relate to that?
