Bridal

 Kari Burgers of Eternal Reflections took her shoot to the always amazing and beautiful Royal Roads University in January. 
Ana Maria the stunning model was a perfect pick to create a modern pinup style bridal shoot.  We kept the skin fresh and flawless, soft pearly pinks defined eyes and cheeks and the classic red lip. 
Thankfully the weather held up for them and together they captured some truly beautiful photos. 
Enjoy!

NEW YEAR 2011

Hope everyone had an excellent holiday season, hard to believe it has come and gone already. 

2011 has officially started and I'm already behind!!  

I've been busy with a ton of holiday and NYE makeup and a family photo shoot. 

It's also back to work for me tomorrow, this still hasn't kicked but I'm sure it will when I'm brush belted tomorrow at Mayfair MAC.

SO with that here are some photos of the things I've been up to:

We did are regular family Christmas photo back in November at my parents place in Port Alberni. Every year we come up with a different theme and outfits. This year we had some new additions: Lisa, Matt and Georgia. The girls (Harlow and Georgia) were our special helpers in their reindeer and elf suits, the rest of us found our outfits in my parents closest (not kidding)

Enjoy!

I was very busy New Years Eve dolling up some of the beautiful ladies of Upstairs Cabaret;

New Years theme was MOULIN ROUGE BALL. Loads of black, sliver and gold, sparkles and LASHES.

Special Thanks to Marissa LP for organizing the ladies, hair by Angela De Zwart at Atmosphaire Salon and Photo Credits to Wesley Lu.

A big thank you to all my lovely clients this past year, you truly made 2010 an unbelievable year. 

Irene and Jeffrey

Irene and Jeffrey were married on August 1,2010 at Brentwood Bay lodge here in Victoria.

I arrived early Sunday morning at the Lodge to get started on Irene and her lovely ladies. 

It was hard to believe that it was already her wedding day because Irene was my VERY first makeup after Georgia was born back in March. It's that time flying on us again!

The ladies all had fresh skin with a glow, satins, creams, pinks and golds with black liner and false lashes.

Irene went softer on her eye makeup for the Tea and Wedding Ceremonies. I went back out to the lodge in the evening to give her a bit more drama to go with her smoking hot purple dress.

Congratulations!

Mallory and Kyle

A lifetime in the making July 31,2010.. Mallory and Kyle's wedding day.

Timeless, elegant and classic

Man oh man what a babe!! I just have to say it.. For the title of MUSE I think Mallory falls right under it. Most would say she is quite and a bit shy but when that camera is on her she is confidant, chic and exquisite. 

I usually post about my experience of the morning, themes and colours but these photos literally left me speechless. 

Lisa out did herself again, finding a way to blow our socks off. Capturing the pure beauty of Port Alberni on a hot summers day with breathtaking backdrops and beautiful people. The photos speak for themselves: the girls all sculpted, highlighted and stunning and the boys distinguished, tailored, sharp

This is the comment left on Mallory's preview picture on my Facebook page..

You two are the true definition of true love.. Thank you for having me part of your magical day and allowing me to share it with all the hopeless romantics out there.

Happy 6th Months Chiclet

Today is the halfway mark of my little girl Georgia.. Hard to believe 6 months has come and gone..
So this is a little shout out to my amazing chiclet who has been nothing but a blessing in my life. She has allowed me to follow my passions since the moment she arrived and I am so thankful for her everyday.

Sarah and Will

I arrived to a very calm and surprisingly quite house the morning of July 24,2010 or now known as Sarah and Will's Wedding Day. The girls Sarah, Jamie, Jess and Julie were just finishing up their breakfast, trying to figure out what last minute touches needed to be done outside. Sarah's parents hosted the entire wedding right in their beautiful backyard in Port Alberni. Looking out to the left were white chairs with purple ribbons lined for the ceremony and to the right were white tents and tables for the reception. The center pieces local wild flowers filled the living area giving off a soft floral scent. For having the house as ground zero it was hard to believe that it could be that tranquil.
Makeup started with mom Patti who was a skeptic at first never having her makeup done before and being a last minute addition.. I promised her that it would be the best version of her. It was soft browns and creams, light foundation and powders and a final pop with false lashes. In the end it seems that thumbs up were flying around the room.. I continued on with Julie a good friend, and sisters Jamie and Jess.
Lots of liner with hues of mauve, pearly pinks and champagnes, glowing contoured skin and Viva Glams V&VI were the days theme.
When it finally came Sarah's time the house had begun to stir with the arrival of the boys (Will waiting outside of course) Sarah needed her last minutes quite before getting into her dress and seeing her husband to be, so it became my job to return the calm.. Lisa and Sarah had a good laugh at my amazing skill as a bouncer.. But as a makeup artist I find it very important to have the stillness required for perfect lining and definition.


~Sarah you are one breathtaking bride.. May you and Will have a life time of happiness!
