Color

Not too long ago I had the pleasure of working on what I would call a gangsta tea party meets pretty girl shoot, with Kim AkriggDesire Kaniki & Madison from Spot 6.

Desire definitely brought the flower power on this shoot. Not only was his concept and styling wicked and on point but he also brought in these awesome fabric pieces that Kim used as backdrops throughout the shoot.

For makeup; always a fan of the cheekbone, couldn't help but bring Madison's out in full force. Kept the skin clean, fresh for spring with a little punch o' drama with the lip and eyes.

Here's how she turned out!

Some Say Paint The Town I'd Rather Paint Tia

Most recently put together a shoot with the amazing Kim Akrigg & a good friend of ours Tia who's with Ford.

Tia; being so gorgeous inside and out, knew she would be down for anything. 

But at first was really nervous to approach Ford, seeing most of the work in Tia's book is pretty commercial. However was really inspired to do something a little different.

I got the okay from Ford and got pumped! 

Starting with my initial inspiration went a little albino-esque, and built on top from there. Tia has gorgeous long locks, so to switch er up a little differently I painted & slicked er back. 

This shoot was a  whole lot of fun. Really grateful to have worked on this with these girls. 

Loved what we created hope you do too!

Here's what we made happen!
