Photographing Beautiful People

It’s what I do, it’s what I love – the art of capturing someone’s beauty. Hair and make-up gives me a priceless opportunity to examine someone, not just for the outward appearance of beauty, but for the core pieces of who they are and what they are made of. Conversation gives me a chance to get to know my amazing clients, maybe even develop lasting friendships with lots of shared laughs. I am blessed to get to examine each lady with whom I work, to discover what makes them unique and beautiful and then accentuate that with make-up that brings out each perfect feature God gave her.

Nichelle is just one such beauty with whom I’ve gotten to work, ending 2016 with some amazing portrait sessions in which we froze our tails off and laughed as we blasted the heat and then adventured out for more. I would never say that one session was perfect (what is perfection anyway?!) but this one got close, as many do, to being perfect in every way.

For our session, we went dark, dark clothes, a bold eye and gorgeous cheek contour to contrast the white world around us. We went for a look that screams of BOLDNESS amidst the frigid soft and airy landscape of winter.
