KRISTEN + RYAN = GORGEOUSLY GREEN

Another gorgeous July Wedding Photographed by {Tiffany Wayne Photography}.  

I am SOOOOOOOOOO excited to share with you this wedding.  I am loving the details of this wedding.  It is truly a photographers dream...

okay let talk, MAKE-UP!

Kristens make-up was amazing.  I loved her shadows, I washed her lid in a sheer pink and darkened up the contour of the eye with a light wash of this smokey turquoise color by Smashbox....... Airbrushed her blush with a light mist of peachy pink & contoured with Nars in Casino.  Naturally I brightened up with her eyes and  popped on some lashes then filled in her brows.   My bride opted for no lip gloss or lipstick, just the old fashion ChapStick. She is truly a natural beauty.

Alisha Pierre from Head Games Salon was the hairstylist on-location & kept it simple with a small french braid to the side with these fun loose, soft waves.  Simple, yet SO B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L.  Most brides think since it is a special occasion you have to wear your hair up, but Guess what?  There are no rules! Kristen is prime example how gorgeous you can look & feel by wearing your hair down.

She did a lot of things different than the typical bride. She wore her hair down, flats instead of high heals, short dress instead of long,  and no lipstick.... Her day, her way :) Love it!

First off, I love working with women of influence!

Need proof that life is not fair? Here is the flawless Leah & Dali... you may recognize them from a recent shoot if you follow my blog on regular, & Thank you if you do :)!! 

 Dali (model & stylist) & Leah (model) were so great to shoot with the first time around. The amazingly talented Stacey Smiel just had to have them back for a second shoot.

I enjoyed every minute dolling up Dali & Leah again.  Can we please do it AGAIN? :)

First off, the beautiful Leah.... it was hard to make this girl look ugly.. She has great big eyes & a beautiful smile!  She has never worn foundation on her skin.  She is just flawless!  Her make-up consisted of a grey smokey eye, a light pink highlight added to the eye to open them up, black liner, #53 lashes, little pink on the cheek, & a purple hugh pink lip.  She is a natural beauty.

The Classic Pin-Up Look.  She pulls it off so well and I am so happy with the way the make-up turned out.  Dali is a stylist as well as a model & styled the whole shoot by herself.  She has the best style & I could not get over how many cute clothes she brought to the shoot.  PERFECT-O!

She has been such a sweet heart. She came to me 3 times to get her make-up done before her big day.  Erin first called me to do a make-up trial/consultation, then make-up before her bachelorette party & then of course for this lovely engagement session shoot by the amazing MOAK PHOTOGRAPHY.

INTRODUCING TWO BEAUTIES

Allow myself to introduce 2 amazing & beautiful ladies.  First off here is Dali.  I loved doing Dali's make-up for a creative photoshoot with Stacey Smiel Photography.  Dali is so stickin' cute, & oh so good looking.

She was such a delight & I was so pleased with the outcome of her make-up.

And for the important stuff..... MAKE-UP!

She has flawless skin, as you can tell.  From my kit, I used a Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer,  Set her foundation with Arbonne Mineral Powder,  Ben Nye Essential Fashion Rouge Palette to fill in her brows, Bobbi Brown bronzing powder to give her an instant natural tan & contour her face and popped some Ladyblush by MAC on her cheeks,  Shell by MAC as a cream color base to her eyeshadow & washed her eyes with my favorite Smashbox Eyewish Pallete.  Her eyes were quite natural & light, with some sheen to open them up.  I finished off her look with lots of individual lashes & mascara.  Popped a bit of Laura Mercier lip plumper on her lips.  If I could, I would wear this color on my lips everyday of my life!  

Please take a seat & enjoy how gorgeous these photos turned out.  You will love them, I promise!

Stacey also contacted me a week ago to do a fun creative photoshoot for a beautiful lady inside & out.  It was a great chance to do something fun without the pressure of the normal for me: Weddings :)

I basically had free range to do what I wanted & it.was.awesome. with a mix of inspiration of course.

All thanks to Stacey Smiel Photography!  

Thank you SO much ladies for letting me make you glow.  I am more then thrilled to see you happy. 

HOORAY to two beautiful days.  It was a pleasure working with a bunch of young talented professionals! 

BIG LOVE,
