Christy Knowings

Had an amazing shoot the other day with the fabulous Christy Knowings. What a truly fun day I had, her energy and humor carried the shoot, such a positive energy. Id work with her all the time if I could : )

For the Shoot, the talented Ed Burns, did the video, and we got to record Christys singing, and what a wonderful voice she has. the entire day I got to listen to beautiful music all day. For those of you who know her and don't know what her voice sounds like, its amazing and ill be positing  the link soon.

Although I have met Christy Knowings a few times before, I had never worked with her, and I am excited I got the chance, I have always loved Christys Actings... When I grew up there were no kids cooler then the cast of nickelodeons "all that" and I grew up on a lot of the shows Christy stared in such as 'figure it out." Now the younger generation might not know about these shows but when I grew up it was the show to what and they were the cool kids. and it turns out I was right, Christy was fantastic to work with and so talented, I'm excited to work with her again soon .

 

Pictures and video to come soon : )

2013 new start

Being it is the new year and a new start I decided to start my blog again. For those who don't know I am a makeup artist and hair stylist in orange county. Recently I have also gotten into fashion design and photography.

I really want to make 2013 count so I am putting out there my goal of becoming a photographer and high end makeup artist and hair stylist.

I called my friend Chelsea and asked if she would like to be the first model I shot to start of 2013 on a good foot. I hand make her dress as well as the necklace and head piece for the shoot. I did the hair and makeup and photographed her myself. All in all, I am very proud of myself I think my first photo shoot went well .

Both the dress the necklace and head piece are available to rent or borrow for a shoot. I also have a number of dresses that I have made for previous shoots.

Hopefully I will only continue to get better in photography : )

Special thanks to the wonderful model Chelsea k. she is absolutely stunning and fantastic, I recommend her to anyone who wants to work with her, she is wonderful and sweet/
