Hannah's Seniors

I was super excited when I first met Kristi with Kristi Wright Photography for her first Brazilian Blowout. I am drawn to people to have laid back personalities, and a good sense of humor. And that was this little lady. We chatted it up quite a bit and then started talking about wanting to get involved with more senior pictures. (Just and FYI, I had to google the spelling for senior twice now. I keep thinking I'm spelling the Spanish word for sir..annywayy....) So we decided to do a little collaboration and offer ONE senior from each school in Austin a free photo shoot with hair and makeup! Um.. Hello! That's where sweet Hannah comes in.

Hannah contacts- Kristi who then contacted me- where I later met up with both of them at Hannah's amazing house and that's where the fun began!

Kristi and I chatted a bit about the looks she was going for. We wanted to keep her natural and fresh. And earthy. Organic really. I do love some organic! Hannah is soo naturally pretty that it was really easy. She was really easy. The whole day was really easy..really... I'll stop. Just give me a minute.

So if you or anyone you know wants an awesome photographer for any special day be it weddings, engagements, bridals, photo shoots, children, child birth.. (Okay, I don't know how down Kristi would be with photographing the birth of anyone's child.. but I try not to limit her ;) ) just contact Kristi at Kristi Wright Photography.

Oh, and we are still offering the senior sessions so if you know someone.. holla!

Amber waves of...

I got nothin'. I'm not your monkey! I can't always come up with clever and catchy titles.

Okay- I'm a little hyped up on cold medicine life. I'm not making much sense.

So, I met Amber and her sweet mom and dad at her hair trial at my house. The whole lot of them were really relaxing to be around, asking all the right questions, and just truly interested in the "art" of hair doin'.

Come wedding day, I met with Amber at her parents gorgeous house and did hair and makeup for her, her mom, sister, and a couple of bridesmaids. We laughed the ENTIRE time. I can't thank them enough for such a great time!

Monika

Monika and I met when she asked me to do her hair and makeup for her engagement pictures. She said she wanted a vintage look. And I do love me some vintage! The only problem. It was like 110 degrees outside and she needed enough time to go home and get dressed, and then meet with the photographer. So longwear lipstick and pinned curls it is! I forgot to mention that Monika is from Poland so she has this beautiful accent, and an even more beautiful heart. The girl loves animals. Which of course means I love her.




Here are a few pictures from her wedding- Could this girl be any more stunning? And such hot bridesmaids!

Whats new?

I'm afraid to tell you something. And this may come as a shock to y'all. I'm a terrible blogger! I know. I'll give you a minute to compose yourselves...... ready?

So I've been asked a lot about airbrush makeup and if it were easy. And then I get a lot of questions about if it can be done themselves. The answer is yes, and YES! Now, I don't want all my fellow makeup artists getting mad at me because I'm saying something we do is easy. Because, what WE do ain't easy! Airbrush makeup can be complicated. Different situations may come up that would involve a lot of knowledge in the subject in order to address the issue correctly. (Wow. That sounded very grown up of me didn't it?) That being said, you can definitely do your own airbrush makeup. Lessons with a knowledgeable professional will definitely start you off on the right path.

After much deliberation I've decided to start offering airbrush makeup lessons that will come with your own airbrush compressor, gun, and foundation.
Just in time for Christmas I'd say! So feel free to contact me with any questions or if you'd like to sign up for a private or group class!

PARTY AT CINDY AND BRIANS!!!!!!!!!

KEGGER Upscale Open House at Vista West Ranch! Come see me and the other Uh-Mazing vendors September 11th from 5-8pm at Vista West Ranch. Seriously check out the flyer below made by the fantastic Aimee Villa. And like the other Villa (Bob Vila, and yes I know, two different last names but go with me on this one) she'll turn your wedding from Drab to Fab.. Or Broke to Smoke...in. smokin. Okay. I'm done butchering poor Aimee's name. Something she'd never do your wedding! And something I'd never do to your hair. I now see why "oops, and butcher are two things someone never wants to hear on their wedding day. And especially from their hair stylist.

Come check me out anyway and eat some good food, and have some drinks.. pass out in the super luxurious honeymoon cottage. Whatever.

If you book your wedding at the open house be sure to ask about the super awesome discounts I'll be offering. Book ANNND one of the vendors at the open house and get an even more awesome discount (especially if you book me and VWR)!

High School Senior Portrait Contest!

I am super excited to team up with Kristi Wright of Kristi Wright photography.

She recently contacted me about wanting to have the Brazilian Blowout done after hearing Becky Brock with BZ Events rave about hers. So- we scheduled for me to come out to her place and while I was there we started talking about how we'd love to be able to work together and how we'd both love to be able to do more senior portraits. Thus the birth of the High School Senior Portrait Contest!

Here are the deets: <--details. I thought "deets" made me sound more young and hip. But I guess by attempting to sound young and hip, and actually saying "young and hip" I actually sound like a middle aged-mom jean-wearin-old lady. Sigh. Where did the time go?

Okay back to the "deets":
