Bridal Shootout, Robinson Ranch Golf Course

Last week I did a Charity Bridal Shootout at Robinson Ranch Golf Course in Santa Clarita. The weather was perfect, the brides were beautiful and the photographers were great!

I did the makeup on this bride, Katrina Mia Lopez. Her hair was done by Dedra Whitt and the photographs by Wendi Smith Solari and Jennifer Kelley Lublin. Katrina is getting married next month and one of these pictures will be presented to her dad on her way down the aisle.....very sweet!

Busy Weekend!

Two weddings and some

test shots with a new model! Friday's wedding was in Malibu at the Sunset Restaurant where the ceremony was held on the beach in front of the restaurant followed by cocktails. Then, everyone was directed up to the Saddle Rock Ranch for the reception. The day started at 9:30 AM at a house that the bride's parents rented instead of going to a hotel. The view was amazing and it was a beautiful setting to do hair and makeup.

The next wedding was Saturday at the Kyoto Grand Hotel downtown. Emily has a great sense of humor and the most infectious laugh! She even wore a Hello Kitty tiara with her gorgeous fitted gown! Her bridesmaids wore different shades of pink to go with the Hello Kitty motif.

Sunday, I did some test shots with a new model. Maia has natural strawberry blonde hair...really! She's a track star at Notre Dame High School and has legs that go on for days to show for it!

May 19, World Class Athlete, Caren Ware

A couple of weeks ago, I did a shoot with Caren Ware, winner of the Gold and Silver medals at the World Games in Sydney, Australia last year. She's working to develop "age graded adult sports" in America. She is definitely the perfect example of the amazing effect that exercise has on the body at ANY age!
