#10 Boudoir with Vanessa and Lily

The beautiful Vanessa called us up to style her birthday boudoir shoot.  It was her first time modeling, but she was a natural in front of the camera, even with barely any clothes on.  This was an empowering shoot as we celebrated the woman as a beautiful being that is poised, confident and intelligent.  We're not going to post the pictures up (for obvious reasons), but we wanted to share with the world our wonderful experience working with Vanessa and talented photographer, Lily Yip of BLLew Photography. To view more of Lily's Boudoir photos, or even to book a session with her, check out her webbie here.  These can be great Christmas gifts for you or even your significant other!

 

Dream Team(From L-R):  Gen, Vanessa, VT, Lily

#11: Turk & Taylor

We took a beautiful road trip up to Point Reyes to shoot for a local clothing company, Turk & Taylor (as in the cross streets in the TL).  We were well-fed, well-hydrated AND got a fabulous chance to site-see.   We gotta say, these might be one of the most beautiful locations for a shoot we've seen yet!  And on top of that, everyone we worked with was super talented and not to mention, beautiful and highly professional.  Enjoy these breathtaking shots!

Behind-the-Scenes with Supperclub

A look behind the fashion show aka training ground for speed work:

Photographer:  Patrick Lai

WHAT WE DID:

Hair - Gen did variations of the top bun on some girls, and let it loose with curls on others.  We thought the top buns would work great with such a dramatic eye and gave the dresses a more up-do, chic look.

Make-Up - Theme was antelope meets sexy glowy, simple skin.  VT thickly lined the eyes for this edgy look, which emphasized the deep shadows around the nose and elongated the eyes.  Deep plum was used on the lips to represent the transitioning fall season.  Heavy contouring was done on the cheekbones and the rest of the skin was left plain but dewy.  Products used:  Eve Pearl Concealer, Graftobian HD Creme Foundation, Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in Ink Black, MAC's Media Lipstick, LORAC's Illuminating Powder, Benefit's Hula Bronzing Powder.
