feather dress shoot.

i am so happy to have finally put this thought into a shoot. i have spent countless hours making this dress & with the help of my sister (& business partner) we brought this to life last saturday.

** shout out to jessica for letting us take over your yard & your house (xoxo)
*** shout out to christa for letting us put makeup on you, give you so many knots in your hair, & helping us bring this idea together- you are stunning.

it was a very early start to the day- christa arrived at my house at 6am to get her first look together. i made hot tea & we got busy. let me tell you what, that girl has a lot of hair. a lott.

shenea got her first makeup look going & i could not have asked for a better look. christa looked like this magical fairy bird princess, if that makes any sense at all.

& here are some of my favorite looks from the first go around.

christa, you are stunning, seriously- thank you!

** the second look shenea wanted something a little more creative & this is the look she came up with. 

hope you enjoyed- remember you can follow our facebook page here

travis pates & pizza.

you guys- seriously this weekend was so busy but super fun! my sweet sister was in town working music midtown so we had a lot of time together, but i loved every minute of it. we had time for pizza, jack & coke, flying biscuit & lots of talk of future plans. i cannot even tell you how happy i am to be so close to this perfect little sister of mine. she has grown up so much & makes me so proud. love you shenea!

 she bought me a ticket to go  to a makeup class with travis pates. he is the bomb.

i have never taken a makeup class before but i figured it would be fun- i mean travis worked on the hunger games, underworld, & wanderlust- just to name a few. you can check it here.

now, lets get to the fun stuff.

i will let the photos speak for themselves.

it was so amazing to see this process from start to finish, to be inspired by things and pull them together to make this. so impressive. i know my sister is going to go places, her passion in art will speak for itself. taking what she does on a canvas and moving it to a person is going to be so cool to see  unfold. i know i am rambling but i am so proud!

the finished product. 

the last one is my favorite. our model was cristin azure & she is gorgeous. she is also super sweet & i believe it must be refreshing for a makeup artist to be able to work with someone so sweet and patient. you can see more of her walking dead stuff here

thank you travis & cristin for an amazing learning experience, it was beautiful.

 thank you to my beautiful talented sister for the ticket!

& thank you to norcostco for letting us use there space for the class & if any of you need makeup or costumes GO THERE. they have a ton!

zombie makeup class is on me!

 you can follow travis on instagram here

cheers,
