Suzanne and Bob tie the knot!!

Nothing describes sweet and gentle better than Suzanne! She is the most beautiful woman inside and out and her new hubby Bob is just as wonderful! I adored getting to know them and becoming part of their "dream team"! They started their day at the incredible Terranea Resort and then made their way to their ceremony at Wayfarer's Chapel and finally reception at the beautiful Trump Golf Course! Phew!!! What an amazing itinerary!!!!! It was the most gorgeous day for a gorgeous couple! Here are some of my faves from Hanssie Trainor, Matt Saville and Kristen Vaughan.

I got this message on facebook a couple days later!

"Just a quick note to thank you for doing such amazing hair and makeup for me. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. So many people complimented your work. Just wanted to send you a quick note of thanks!" Suzanne

Suzy and baby Carter

My gorgeous friend Suzy asked me to pretty her up for her maternity shoot a couple months ago! She was expecting her first boy Carter! Ava her little girl is the cutest little thing ever and stole the spotlight a bit! Can't help a girl from hamming it up every now and then! Congratulations to my beautiful friend Suzy, Darren, Ava and baby Carter!!! Here are some of the stunning shots from Cean one photography.

Vintage Bridal shoot

Give me a touch of Marilyn any day!!! I had the greatest time rocking hair and makeup for this super cute vintage inspired shoot! My good friends Hanssie, Michelle, Kevin and Mary organized and shot this shoot! We had so much fun!! The day begun with prim and proper 50's esque shots and by the end we have water martinis :) and chocolate cigars :)! Keeping it classy!!

Here are some of my faves from the day!

Trash the Dress

I am so lucky to be a part of such a cool group! So Cal shootout is a group of photogs that get together and dream up amazing concepts and shoot! The models always rock and I've been so pumped to be the lead artist on a handful of these shoots! This shoot concept was "Trash the Dress". For those who don't know what this is, it's a super fab way to showcase your gown after the big day! You don't always need to "trash" your dress but at this shoot we trashed em!!!!!! It was so fun! Here are some shot from the day!

Banana Republic Holiday collection event

When "The Banana" called I was in!!!! My fabulous friend Rachel (who happens to be a gorgeous model) works with Banana Republic and was helping host a Holiday Collection event in the Crystal Cove store. They needed chic hair and makeup! I love it!!!! Every other item in my closet is Banana! Here are some shots from the event!

The whole fabulous group!!
