Starting  the year off I’m  glad to share with you my first editorial spread of the year which will be in Winter Park Magazine! I shot this with supper funny and amazing photographer Diana ZaLucky, whom I had the pleasure to work with before, and this time was just as great as the last! Diana entitled this spread “It’s Electric” and I totally feel that when looking at these images the clothes were styled by Orlando’s top fashion stylist  Melanie Pace  and the Yen Ryder brought the models hair to life! I’m telling you it was great being apart of this team!

The look was BEAUTY! Minimal eye makeup, with a strong lip and contoured cheeks. I love doing these types of looks because I can really focus on perfecting the skin and making the colors and textures I use stand out without one area being more focus than the other!

Take a look at the images and be sure to pick up this months Winter Park Magazine with the complete ” It’s Electric” spread.

It’s been 2 weeks already since L’Haute Collection with Florida Fashion Lab and Orlando Live Streaming, and I must say what a great event. This was one of many of Orlando’s great fashion events this year and I’m glad I was apart of it. We have been on a roll making amazing fashion waves here in the city beautiful and with many days of hard work and long nights of planning it all payed off! I had an awesome time working again with Roquois and her team of amazing models and fashion designers! The event venue was Urban Rethink, which was the perfect backdrop for this NYC inspired show.

The models were donned in everything from Spring/Summer bathing suits to the Sexiest Fall pieces you’ll see all season. Lynn Butterworth of Planet Toggs along with Roquois styled the models to perfection and they RIPPPPPPPPPPED the runway. I had the wonderful opportunity to come up with the looks for the show which was inspired by the clothes as well as the the summertime heat! The look was sexy, exotic and the girls all looked gorgeously alike which is my goal when I do fashion shows. Special thanks to our supporters, Culture climax they help us celebrate the moves we make, and also  host Peter Murphy from Orlando Live the interview segment was crazy! He always ask the best questions! Last but not least, to Orlando for coming out supporting artist, talent and trailblazers that are making moves and doing what we do best, making it happen in the City Beautiful!

Today’s Feature Friday goes to two ladies LM  enjoys working with so much, Nicole Mitchem photography and Tina Jackson of Style Attic! We started early  and boy did we start off well! Mrs. Jackson was not only the one styling the shoot, she was the model in FRONT of the camera! Yes she held it down doing new bio and promo pics for her site which is coming soon! When I tell you there is nothing better than a stylist, styling themselves there is NOTHING better! Every single thing she wore was friggin HOT! I didn’t take to many pics because they are so epic, I don’t want to spoil the surprise but these 2 here are certified bangers. I  could see  see myself wearing this  so I had to twit pic . My BB pics do the blue ensemble no justice but believe me when i say it was on point.

Throughout  the shoot we did beautiful clean natural makeup, natural eye and lip, which was perfect for  her, she has the most beautiful big eyes which is a makeup artist dream but I chose to keep it simple. As  for the last look I brought the eye color up! I added a  purple-bluish looking  loose eyeshadow and a slightly thicker  black eyeliner and a soft lavender  lip, ummmm gorgeous! I did choose to  mostly play up her skin, Tina has beautiful skin so I  used my new highlighter pen form MAC  in Bright Forecast and a old beauty powder called Brunette. Since  we were outside most of the day I wanted to keep the skin luminous and not work against nature because so that glow you see is all Tina’s  , she  looked AMAZING!
