I am sorry for the gaps between posts lately.  I have been super busy with shooting, editing, ordering and delivering lots and lots of photos.  I can’t complain, because it all feels amazing.  I just find myself pushing into overdrive, trying to do too much at once and not finding time to post in between.

The makeover mini-shoots were a huge success.  I want to thank everyone that emailed me and those whom were chosen and came along!  The least fun part of this whole thing was actually choosing the ladies, as I really didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.  This was never a beauty contest, but more about getting a lot of different looks and availability and building a portfolio.

Heather has been amazing, showing up early while her family stays home and plays all day.  She did such an amazing job on everyone’s makeup and really proved her talent over and over again from one look to another.  I think all of the ladies had fun, and I also want to thank them for taking time out of their schedules for a little makeover and photo shoot.  Not only were they beautiful to begin with, but as I got to know more about each one, I realized just how amazing and beautiful they were as a person as well.

As I tend to do, these shoots were extended a bit beyond simple head-shots.  Everyone was just so laid back and fun and easy to work with, so I couldn’t stop shooting despite rain and way overcast skies on BOTH days we shot!  I will get around to posting their full shoots soon, but for now – here is the outcome of Heather and I’s handy work of working together as a team.  I am SO excited to have her on board, and her makeup application is part of every package I offer.

First, a photo of Heather working her magic.
