My Oh My the Beautiful Karen Murdock

I was so happy to work the Karen Murdock on not just one but TWO fabulous boudoir sets this month. 
The first set was with Jeff Babineau, we went for a natural look. Flawless skin and the touch of bold lashes.

A couple weeks after our first set Karen asked if i could assist her on another Boudoir set with photographer Jeff Cooke. This time i bumped up the eye makeup and continued with the idea of flawless skin and a natural feel. This set of photos really did turn out incredible and Karen looks fantabulous!

Alternative with Madame Red









The talented Madame Red, assistant Stoo Metz and the stunning alternative model Miz Niveous did a fantastic job on this ultra edgy set. Madame gave me full creative control on the makeup for this set and I am so happy with the results! I went for a really dramatic look, adding huge false studded eyelashes, expressive brows, a deep contrast, and this amazing bright red pigment to match her 'to die for' hair.
We had so much fun doing this set, that we are recreating it very soon to add more to the collection!! Thanks Miz Niveous for being such a good sport and trusting me with altering your  features/ image.










Earlier this month I was invited back by Madame Red to work with her & Amber Stevens on a publicized set for Inked Magazine. Continuing with the high red flash we boosted up the makeup with some hot pink and dark contrast.  Amber has some incredible artwork on her and I am super proud to be apart of this set!

Its always a pleasure to work with Madame Red, she believes in my work and gives me full control of the makeup and allows me to use my creative artistic side, letting my mind roam free! Being in the same room with her gives me inspiration to do the best work possible. I will always look forward to tackling the alternative scene of Halifax with ma belle Madame Red.

Pinup @ the Stoodio




Stoo invited me to join him @ the Stoodio a couple times over the last month for some Pinup styled sets. Pinup is always so much fun to do, is so classy and brings out naturally beautiful features. Kelly Lynn Walker is a bombshell and looked amazing in this beautiful corset and fishnets, everytime we work together its a blast. Nicole Basden was another gorgeous model to step foot in front of the lens for the first time. She fit the pinup style wonderfully and worked it like a natural, hopefully this wont be the last time i work with her. It always a pleasure to work with Stoo Metz, and can't wait to work on our next project :D

Christmas Wrap Up

It's been awhile since i have posted, this is actually a positive thing. Meaning I've been super busy!! 
Prepare to be Overloaded. 

Over the Christmas break I had the privilege to collaborate with some of the lovely ladies from my graduating class again. Lead by the talented Laura Bleasdale, our team volunteered for the Sir John A's Highschool musical, A Christmas Carol. It was a nice change from beauty makeup. Stage makeup is  over the top to be seen from far away under the florescent lights. I had the privilege to work backstage with Laura in the high paced environment with character changes in under 5 minutes, we were even working on the same character! 
With over 40 students for 3 nights I caught on to the fast paced environment quickly. It was a blast to catch up and work with the girls from class again and i hope to work with many of them again. :)
Kickass Team:
Laura Bleasdale
Mandy Nickerson
Alyssa Gibbons
Shana Oneill
I hope to see some photos from this concert, all the kids did an amazing job and put on one hell of a show! 
Topic # 2:

NEW Zuca Bag! I will no longer be the one armed body builder walking around Halifax draggin myself up the hills! This case has already made me already feel more organized and professional. Thank you Santa, look for me strolling down Barrington, lighting up the streets with my new wheels. 










Topic # 3:
Erin Nicole Photographic and I worked together on a Christmas Package 'For His/Her Eyes Only'





















This allowed girlfriends to show their loved ones a little more then there everyday wear. Giving a man the best christmas present you can offer. YOU. These ladies were so much fun to work with and had confidence for miles! Since these photos are personal i only have a few to show you. Just being apart of Erin's team is always a treat and i hope you enjoy!
