Beauty and Success at Grateful Dreads

June 5th, the weather was beautiful!  And what an eventful day at Grateful Dreads!  Some of my favorite people were in the salon today, and there was so much action at one point, we all just had to pause at the success of this wonderful salon!

We are surrounded by beauty!

Maeve, Daighna, and I

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!

 

Paige Glamour

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!
