These are the finished photos by Mike Frieseman. Mike, Maeve, and I got together for a quick shoot before she left town. I styled her hair, and Maeve did her own make up.
The resulting photos are exquisite!
Thank you so much Maeve and Mike for making these beautiful photos happen!

I love when dogs come to the salon! And I love when amazing people come to the salon!! So I really had fun when Maeve brought in Freya, and I got to pratice some braids in her hair. I’m really making progress with my braids endeavour!
Kelly Lynne asked me to do the hair for her recent fashion show at Detroit City Airport put on by Detroit By Design. I am honored to have done this!! She wanted shapes, and that’s what I’ve been into, so it’s a great match! I call this collection…

Much thanks to Kelly Lynne for having me! And to Becca Voigt. You are amazing, and I really loved seeing you again. Rich Rice I love you! Thanks for throwing these great parties all these years. Parties with airplanes. That is epic! And thank you to everyone backstage, Greg and Stephanie for assisting me, and to all of the models for being open to such experimental looks. You really wore them well!
Maeve is royalty of models. I love working with her and her hair! She’s so gorgeous, highly educated, and speaks from her amazing experiences. So cool! We met early for the shoot and got ready so fast that we went out for breakfast while we waited for Daighna Rayner, the photographer, to arrive. The day before, Maeve came to Grateful Dreads, and I deep conditioned her hair and braided it to dry. When I took out her braid for the shoot, her hair looked beautiful just how it was! I did a little detail work to create some smoothness. Maeve did all of her make up in all of the photos.
This is a very special shoot. I put a lot of myself and my ideas into this and was able to meet with both of my favorite designers, Kelly Lynne and Fotoula Lambros, to pull from their new collections. Given the concept and the model, we were all excited!
All photos by Daighna Rayner for Daighna Photography:
The dress in the last picture is the Monroe dress in black by Fotoula Lambros for Fotoula Lambros Design. The dresses in the above pictures are both by Kelly Sager for Kelly Lynne. The machine in the top picture is a Linotype and is how newspapers used to be printed. Maeve looks like she is from that era in Kelly Lynne’s beautiful lacy dress! I really love the red puffy sleaves on the middle dress. So haute couture!
Maeve has amazing energy. Thank you to all of you involved in this shoot!
Måeve, Daighna, and I got together on Sunday and had the first ever photo shoot at Grateful Dreads! We got very creative, worked hard, and had a lot of fun. I love that I get to spend time making art with such wonderful people and am so thankful! The pics below were all taken with my iphone. The real pics were shot by Daighna Rayner and are currently being looked through and edited by her.
Here’s a sneak of our last look. Måeve in a beautiful grassy meadow. She’s wearing the wrap dress designed by Fotoula Lambros for Fotoula Lambros Design. This dress was the closing look in FLD’s most recent Detroit fashion show but in white. She graciously loaned us the black one for this shoot.
Look at those clouds!
The rest of these photos are of the salon after the shoot. I really love my new salon! And I really loved this shoot. Everything about it.
Thanks to everyone involved!
