Waters Farm Beauty Shoot

I got to play dress up with this GORGEOUS little lady recently. It was an extra special shoot for me because she is my niece… and she just turned 21. Ugh… time flies. I remember when she was 3 and we would go to the park, blow bubbles, eat ice cream and take pictures. Well, some things don’t change because we still have ice cream and take pictures. She came over and we played hair and makeup and went to Waters Farm for a few photos. I don’t need to tell you how beautiful she is, you can see that for yourself. But as much fun as it always is for me to be behind the camera, I’m not going to lie, there was a bit of a lump in my throat watching her… be her. All grown up. Beautiful. Confident. Carefree. She was my first “baby” and seeing her evolve into this brilliant young lady is, well… amazing. We had fun hanging out and being silly, and for a spit second while I was watching her laugh in the sun light, it brought me back to when she was 3. And when we were done with our perfect afternoon… we had a perfect ending. An ice cream cone.

I think you may remember Mary. I shot her wedding At UpStairs on the Square a while back. Well, I had the pleasure of doing a beauty shoot for her and boy was she gorg! Meghan Cotton did her lovely makeup and Mary looked just luminous. There’s not much more that I can say, but pull up a chair, grab your coffee and take a look at the beauty that is Mary. Enjoy… xo

Dina’s Beauty Shoot

I had the pleasure of photographing the lovely Dina recently. We had a fun girly time with makeup, which was done by Barbara Rodriguez, and then shooting some sassy photos. I feel like this is such a perfect fit for me as a photographer. I remember when I was young… playing makeup and doing photo shoots. I’m seriously laughing out loud right now from embarrassment! And I’m the only one here!… hahaha. I may or may not have to post a picture of my ridiculousness from back in the day. That will be my before and after… of my skillz. I know, I know… I just said “skillz”. I can totally see my 11 year old rolling her eyes at me… hahaha. So I guess it’s no surprise that I would end up playing makeup and taking photos for my job. I love it! Dina was amazing and she lit up the whole room with that gorgeous face! We all had so much fun. Enjoy! xo

Beauty Shoot with the lovely Miss Barbara

You know when you’re at a shoot… and the person your shooting looks so amazing that you can’t stop saying “OH MY GOD! or AHHHH! or I CAN’T EVEN STAND THIS!… etc, etc. Well, that was me while I was photographing Barbara. I was annoying myself, so I can’t even imagine what she felt like. I’m sure she wanted to tell me to SHUT IT! (said in a scottish accent), but she’s too nice. Beauty shoots are just awesome. It’s so much fun seeing the transformation from the before to the va-va-voom after. I love it! It’s a pamper yourself, have artists pretty you up, feel fantastic and get some amazing pictures kind of session. Who doesn’t want to do that! I do! Barbara just so happens to be a pretty amazing makeup artist who will be making faces pretty for these beauty shoots. Check her work out here. In the near future I will be introducing you to some other people who will be part of my beauty team. Stay tuned… xo
