We accomplished varied looks for this bombshell in our collaberation with Melissa in front of the lens.

                        Not your ordinary portrait- I handbuilt the headpiece

Melissa is a blast and her willingness to try new things/new looks and experiment with some fun vintage hats and a feather headpiece I had made. The results gave us some pretty neat images. She is a glamour puss and typically fairly sexy ~ so we softened her look in ivories and a boho beach inspired feel. George Mario is a favorite photographer friend of mine- always willing to let me play in my "paints."  His post editing is flawless beautiful and women travel far and wide to do a sitting for Bellafoto photography.

Calvin Tran Fashion designer. Dave Ouano images

 This shoot was a blast and I enjoyed the results. An incredible NY designer, Calvin Tran and fabulous photographer from Chicago, Dave Ouano made magic this day. Tran has a boutique in Chicago where he sells his fabulous "wears." The models from various agencies including BMG and The Rock came together for this special shoot. The ladies so beautifully demonstrated the fine lines of the clothing. Models: Nicole Guerin, Allison Keuhne and Ashlynn Severson. I was on Makeup and the Art& Science Editorial Team of Alice Salazar and Ramona Yeefah Thurman were on hair. hope you enjoy!

Rod Roberts. Maddison {Ford Agency} Hair/MU: Loni

 I always love to work with Rod. He is an incredibly nice, easy going guy with the "magic."  He has a vision with his subjects and gets the most stunning colors and beauty in all he does. I would assume much of this comes from his knack with women's swimwear designs and fashion. I am pleased to have the honor of working with the beautiful Maddison of Ford Agency. She is a good Iowa girl with a pleasing personality. She's real and genuine and a treat to work with.

I enjoy taking candids for the Brides for as long as I stay. I share all of the images with her as a keepsake of her "getting ready" moments. :-)
