In June I was asked to do a fashion show at the jlm Couture Shop on Robertson Blvd. in West Hollywood. In this show, all the gowns were designed by Hayley Paige. Beautiful gowns, gorgeous models, fabulous food and drink...a lovely evening!

Also in June, I did the makeup on Heather Schorr for her and her fiance's engagement photos.

Adam George of EmbraceLifePhotography.com shot the photos.

Janice and Jason's Engagement Session and Lunch at Maravilla Gardens

Two weeks ago, I met Janice and Jason at Maravilla Gardens to shoot their engagement session and lunch. Janice won this session when she attended a Soolip Wedding show in March. It was a beautiful setting for this lovely couple and we went all out for them!  Sarah of Gather Events styled the shoot, Meg Hall of Food By Meg, LLC. made the delicious lunch and Jen O'Sullivan took the gorgeous photos!  They even brought their very cute and well behaved pooch, Fuji.
