Jasmine Star workshop: Part Deux

So for the shoot part of the workshop Jasmine showed us how she works with clients and gets those incredible shots. I was kinda nervous for the shoot because I am just weird like that. I don't know what my problem is sometimes. The night before we got together and did headshots of each other on the beach and I didn't really shoot. I notice I do this here too at photographer GTG......... I clam up......... I need to stop it! But I finally got in there and started shooting and got some decent stuff. I was lucky and got a few direct looks into the camera shots too! And it was HOT! Don't let California fool you. Poor guy was in a jacket! But he rocked it! He had the sweetest style. And he and his wife......(yes people they are a real life couple!).......were the cutest couple ever!

Location: The Club at Woodbury- so pretty, want to live there
Models: Melinda and Vern- stunning, stylish, artsy, madly in love
Floral: Carissa of JL Events & Design- perfection
Beauty/Hair: Vivian Tran-All Made Up Team- amazing, sweet, artist

Dress: Monique Lhuillier-haute

I could have photographed Melinda all day. She is absolutely breathtaking! Her eyes were doe-like it made her innocently captivating...........

Now let me tell you a little something about a woman named Vivian. She is a master! She can DO hair! When I do hair I throw in a Bump-it and call it a day. Hahaha. This lady sculpts masterpieces out of keratin. Seriously look at that hair! Mad-skillz that Viv!

I love this dress. It fits her body like skin. Delish. And love the uniqueness of the bouquet.

Jasmine's Mom and JD of course were there helping with the food, technical things, and just making sure Jasmine and us were taken care of. Mom must be so proud. She has an awesome daughter. And JD is the sweetest guy ever. Always taking care of his lady. You could just tell he was happy helping her. It was funny because at dinner someone asked him what his and Jasmine's work day is like. He replies scheduled. I joked and said he was a Babywise Husband. He looked at me with the cutest innocent blank face and me and another photographer who is with child just busted up laughing. Don't we all wish we had Babywise Husbands?? Geesh Jasmine's got it all =).

I had the best time at her workshop. Now I just want to just keep going to workshops. I think I am going to be a workshop groupie. Thanks you Jasmine, JD, and Momma Star for everything!

Beauty is inside and will shine through on the outside everytime!

This was my first attempt at Boudoir and I absolutely LOVE it! This is right up my alley with me being able to do all aspects of the shoot, from hair, makeup, and photography. My days in front of the camera also helped tremedously with posing and making her feel comfortable as well as sexy. She was so funny because even though she is absolutely STUNNING, she was Miss Stiffy!! I had to help her relax a little and tell her what to do with her hands, eyes, and face. She laughed and said she could never be a model because it would take them forever to get the shot! I think she did phenomonal! I am so happy with these images! Boudoir can be anything you want it to be. Flirty or sensual. Classic or themed. It is whatever makes you feel fabulous! Leave everything up to me, literally! Boudoir sessions make a great gift for your guys. Heck, who says you need a guy? Do a session for you!! There are so many AH-mazing shots so make sure you check out the slideshow!

Serendipity Videography Girls {Gilbert Hair/makeup artist}

T, it's T. Can you make me fabulous?

Over the years I have become Taryn's, owner of Serendipity Videography, personal stylist! The first time I did her hair and makeup for an event was about 3 years ago for a wedding. She was a bridesmaid and I did all of the bridesmaids hair and makeup. I think Taryn used pictures from that wedding on everything that year! I looked HOT! And if any of you know Taryn, you can totally hear her right now........right? She cracks me up! So anytime now when she gets her picture taken she rings me up! And I love it. Taryn is a beauty with or without me and I am just happy that I make her feel as good as she looks.



This time Sergio photographer from Tucson was shooting their whole Serendipity Team with their camera equipment. And I can't wait to see the photos! I got to style her sister this time too. Both are stunning, but negatives of each other! Taryn is super blonde and snowy pale skin, and her sister is dark with olive tan skin! Here are some quick photos I took before they left.......

Ms. A {Chandler Senior photographer}

Miss A...............as in attitude! Just kiddin. Remember her? The one that trusted my silly a*$ and laid on hot asphalt!! I remember her saying........this better turn out good cause it hurts!!

We started first at my salon with hair and makeup. She had a funky hairstyle that SHE cut. Yeah had to let her know she had a moo-lay. I ended up giving her a haircut and colored her hair. I didn't change her look at all. I just improved it. Then I did her makeup a little smokey with some purple to match her wardrobe changes. Now she looked like a ROCKSTAR!!

Miss A did awesome. I got some amazing shots! I am LOVIN' the stuff I am getting lately! And I think her mom will too!

Love these with her Ipod. So her. She had those things in everytime I turned around....................

So I said do the IPOD dance. And this is what she gave me............isn't she's so cute!

I LOVE this!

Thank you so much Ms.A! I had so much fun hanging out with you and you rocked it lady! Wishin' you the bestest senior year ever girl!

Recently my sister was in town and I had my first senior session scheduled. So I took my nephew out to do a practice run before the real deal! I had to cut his hair first though, he was a little moppish. So I did the day before. Now I wish I actually styled it for this cause I love the pics. But we just kinda were just messing around and didn't plan I guess. He doesn't smile much....teenagers. But isn't he so handsome! I think he's got a cool look but I am biased because he is family!! Here are a few of his shots..........

Canvases and Cuts!

It is hot here in AZ! 116 degrees hot! So I decided to chop my son's hair. Little boys sweat ALOT! And their hair clumps together. Stinky........My little Keanu Reeves is now no longer. He was pretty sad too about it........

A little business in the front........

Party in the back............

Just kiddin!

Isn't he handsome!

Father like Son.......

Then my daughter decided she wanted to cut her hair like Dora.......she cracks me up! So it was a family haircut day at my studio. I also just got my order of canvases in too so I put those up too and they are AH-mazing. I probably would never spend money on prints like this. Kinda like how people don't realize what good styling products can do for your style. But being now in the industry I decided to and to put some of my work in my salon. Now that I have, I wish I had a huge canvas art print of my babies as newborns!! I HIGHLY recommend canvas prints! They are beautiful timeless pieces of art! Seriously they are gorgeous! The bigger the better too. They are pricey, however if there is a special image or photo that you absolutely LOVE, do it. So worth it! I am now offering these so if you have any questions please email me! Any past clients who would like to order any of your session let me know! Here are some examples. Pardon the messy salon ...........

This print is at 24x36. One of my faves!! I love going in to work and seeing this little face everyday!!!

I love clients who trust me after I tell them to lay on asphalt in 110 degree Arizona heat............and ROCK it.......LOVE!

J & J Wed!! {Val Vista Lakes Wedding Photographer}

So my second wedding was at Val Vista Lakes too! I got married there, second shot there, had my first wedding there, and now I was back again! I have been so blessed to have the most amazing clients. Especially the brides I have been given. First G and now J!! I could not have asked for a more laidback, trusting, and so fantastic bride! I expected it from G because I know her, but I just met J :). These two were a photographer's dream. They called me a month before their wedding requesting a meeting. Booking the complete package that day and paying in full. Then no questions or anything til the day of the wedding! I also did J's hair and makeup too, and again so easy. We had a trial run appointment set and she missed it because she was still sleeping! So we winged it the day of and you will see she was gorgeous!


Mr J you can tell is just so happy to just take care of her. Everytime I glanced at them he was always just looking at his beautiful bride. He was the one emailing or calling me and setting up everything. They actually have been married now for 2 years and decided to do the whole shabang wedding since they didn't the first time. It was cute when I first spoke with him over the phone he said whatever she wants, I've been saving for 2 years. And from all the speeches at the wedding, I get the jist that this is a good hearted man.


J's dress was so beautiful..........

This is Trinidad. She is an hair awesome stylist and works in another studio at my building. She is Robin to my Batman at weddings.

How many people does it take to get a tiny girl into a big dress?? Apparently more than we had because it took us a long time!

A few details.......









This one cracks me up of all of her paparazzi bridesmaids............





First Look........




So sweet. I don't know what he said but he was whispering in her ear and she was so moved........





















J & J met when they were both in military school. So I played drill sergeant and called ATTENTION! As you can see he is very good at this..........




Congratulations J & J! Thank you for letting me be part of such an amazing tribute to your love! click here for their slideshow
