A is for airbrush



I know I've blogged about airbrushing before, but I wanted to try to go in order and I can't think of a better use for the letter A. I've been using the airbrush for about a year now and I totally love it. You’d be really hard pressed to talk me into going back to traditional foundation. Airbrushing the foundation on is so quick and easy and I'm always hearing how relaxing the airbrushing feels. I've been doing a ton of film work and the airbrushed actors look great on camera and the makeup is perfectly imperceptible, even on the high definition cameras. I've tried a couple different types of airbrush makeup and my favorite is still Graftobian High Definition. I'm personally not a huge fan of foundation, I think it's important, BUT I don't like to feel like I'm wearing a mud mask all day long. I think that makeup should feel natural when you're wearing it, if you can FEEL it, something isn't right. That's another reason why airbrushing is awesome, it doesn't feel like anything, because it lays such a light layer over the skin it's really comfortable and it lasts much longer than traditional makeup. It actually lasts through sweat, dirt, tears and pretty much anything else you throw at it. Airbrushing has really come in handy whether I have a ton of actors lined up waiting for makeup or a huge bridal party in 95 degree weather. At this time I’d like to send a shout out to my airbrush….We’ve been through so much together, we’ve had our ups and downs, but thank you, I really couldn’t have done it without you!

Erica + Chuck


I love everything about these guys, especially how creative they were with every aspect of their wedding from the bride's gorgeous yellow wedding gown, the faux 'staches for the groom & groomsmen and the overall theme of Camp Hats 'N Pants. I was so happy to be a part of their special day, they just beam with love for each other and they're full of awesome infectious positive energy.

Boom! I did a television ad

I recently had the opportunity to work on a television spot for Tulip Credit Union with Boom Creative. I enjoyed myself so much on that shoot that I may have smiled for a week straight afterward. The spot was filmed at The Loft on Cherry, and featured some of the credit union's members. Within the first 3 minutes of hearing the testimonials I wanted to join the CU, and I also decided I want to live at the Loft. The creative team from Boom was super talented and fun to work with. I can't wait to see the finished product. Thanks for having me Dan, Addy, Joe, Chris & Amanda!

my brides | katie

Katie is one of the many awesome brides I had the pleasure of working with this summer. Katie, along with her mom & sister kept me laughing for hours (literally) my laughing muscles were sore the next day. I loved Katie’s colors, she chose a gorgeous combination of fuchsia, pink & orange. The colors were amazing and were implemented beautifully into every aspect of the wedding. I came away from this wedding having met some really fun people and with a new inspiration fueled by the rich colors.
