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!!

She is the biggest sass and I adore being around her!!!! We had the best time prettying her up and I was so excited to see the big moment of her putting on her gorgeous dress!!!! I was so pumped to be a part of her big day!!!!
