First Fashionable Four Makeover!

We completed our first Fashionable Four makeover this past week.  April was our first client and was great to work with.  She is a mom with two young kids and part-time nurse that runs marathons for fun.  She hates shopping for clothes and always comes home with nothing and felt like she lost the sense of style she had when she was younger.  Her husband gave her the gift of Milena's image consulting services and she volunteered to be our first makeover subject. 

The greatest thing about if for me was to see the incredible change in confidence and happiness you saw in her from the beginning to when we were done.  She came in for the before photos dressed like she does every day and was totally tranformed by the end.  You'll be amazed at the difference you see below!

Our kick-off event is in a week on Thursday, November 5th.  We will be offering makeover package discounts and much more!  Click here to view the full size event flyer.  Hope to see you there!

Fashion Photography

I recently did a test shoot for Vince Varia, the owner of the salon near my studio.  He needed some updated photos of his hair and makeup work and I wanted more experience shooting fashion.  He provided the models and I provided the studio and it was a great trade for both of us.

I really enjoyed the challenges that went lighting and shooting to show off Vince's work the best.  He put a lot of work into both of their hair and makeup.  One of the models was given "barcode bangs" as Vince calls them with white stripes in black bangs and he used 12 different colors for the eye shadow on the other model.

One of the most enjoyable things for me was seeing how far I have come in my knowledge of lighting.  Being able to shape the light and accentuate certain features is really something you learn best from experience.  Seeing the results I was able to get with the lighting of the models was very satisfying and proved to me that I am continuing to grow and learn as a photographer. 

Here are a few of my favorites.
