Diana Mellon, Mike Frieseman, and I got together for a small shoot inside Grateful Dreads. I put Diana’s hair in hot rollers and did her make up to be very soft and warm. Mike got some great shots!
These are some very beautiful pictures, and they really create an ambience. Romantic and clean. Very special thank you to both Mike and Diana!!!!!!

We did a photoshoot last night at Grateful Dreads. Mike Frieseman took the photos, and Diana Mellon did some modeling. We had a lot of fun and created some really amazing shots.
These are some pics I snapped with my phone:
Fun times! We created some very artistic and fashionable looks. Thank you Diana and Mike!
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:
I was so busy I only had time to snap these pics with my little camera at the very end.
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!!
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!
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!
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!!
I went to Fotoula Lambros’ fashion show this past Saturday at Exodus in Greektown. When I arrived, the buzz backstage was very positive. The models all looked great and ready to go. Laura Rose was in the middle of them all checking over their hair and doing some last minute primping. I grabbed a cocktail and found a great spot to watch the show near Laur Nash, the event’s photographer.
I was really impressed with the visuals for this show. There were three screens adjacent, one with footage of a girl swimming in a beautiful gown–she looked like she was falling on purpose! The entire patio of Exodus was painted white which really added to the New York City effect of the show. I’m excited to see the beginnings of a true fashion scene in Detroit. There were some very sharp outfits in attendance!
The fashion show begins!
I got one good shot with my iPod.
The rest of these photos were taken by Laur Nash:
F A S H I O N !!!!!!!!
Fotoula looked boss! I really love the lion pendant she’s wearing.
Laura Rose, Fotoula’s lead hair-stylist, gave her a cute little cake and a huge smile! Happy Birthday Fotoula!
Here’s a pic of me outside the show in Greektown!
