A Luxurious Monday

| Shikote

Gabi, Suki, Mai, and I met for our first photo session as a team!  What a great day!  Beautiful weather, luxurious clothes, and a modern, artistic setting.  We all worked very hard and had much success!

Stephanie (Suki’s mom) and Gabi took some behind-the-scenes photos with Suki’s iPad:

Suki on the beautiful grounds.
Gabi in the softest silk robe-style dress.
Me doing Suki’s make up and wearing a shirt by Fotoula Lambros Design!
Mai and Suki. Fabulous!
Gabi Giacchieri is gorgeous! Jumper by Fotoula Lambros Design.
Happy Suki wearing Fotoula’s corset and leggings. Her hair is so pretty!

I was so busy I only had time to snap these pics with my little camera at the very end.

This picture has a mood to it. I made the Plastikman shirts myself!
Plastik Kuties!

I’m so excited by this shoot.  We all left feeling good, and we’re all still going with this great energy.  I’m happy with how my skills and confidence have grown.  Creativity was flowing through all of us.  We worked hard and captured everything I had imagined!  Thank you so much to everyone involved in this shoot!  Gabi, Suki, Stephanie, Mai, Fotoula, and to my dear friends for letting us use this location.  Thank you so much!!

Mai’s high-quality photos will be ready in the near-future.  These are just some snap shots for a sneak of the session!!

The photos from Grateful Dreads’ first photoshoot are here!  Ashley is so gorgeous!  I really love her style. We met up early that morning, so I could make her hair platinum and touch up her mohawk before the shoot (you can view the process in the next post).  Then I made her hair huge and added some bright purple and deep blue to the back!  Ashley did her own make up then we drove out to a beautiful spot on the river.

I love Ashley’s confidence!  And I really love the one-lens sunglasses!  What a special treat to work with these two amazing artists.  Thank you I love you guys!!

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.

Most of those clothes are by designer Kelly Lynne. She and I pulled from her newest collection which was totally fun!

A very special day

Thanks to everyone involved!

Here are two good shots from a recent photoshoot with Paige Mobley.  Marygrace D’Aleo did her make-up and brought the red dress.  I styled Paige’s hair off her face and neatly to the side for the beauty shot, shown first.  For the last look of the shoot we got very glamorous with a roller set, and I pinned her hair into a bob.  Paige is an excellent model and really worked the look!

I am so happy to have worked with the photographer, Acacia.  Watching her work was energizing, and her edited pic below is a piece of fine art.  What a pleasure to work with such an amazing and talented artist!

The faux bob!  Very glamorous!!
