It’s not my fault!

I just can’t help it. I love my job. I love working with the best photographers and models. I still, on occasion, have to show these girls how to strike a pose…

stay posted, cause the real show is yet to come!

HomeTrust Banking Partnership Print Campaign

It can never be said that we don’t love our jobs or bring a little fun to the set! We had a ball working with Keith Wright and Phillip of Wright Creative, Inc. for the HomeTrust Banking Partnership. We did makeup for a team of execs with the bank for an ad campaign that will eventually end up on billboards all over the region. Thanks, Keith, for including me and Serenity in the mix!

Carolina Home & Garden Winter 2011

What luck. I was asked to do makeup for an article in Carolina Home & Garden Magazine. You’ll never guess who’s home I was invited into…this was shot just after Rose had returned home from LA, shooting Jane by Design. (I have to admit, I’ve been watching the show, and it’s now another television guilty pleasure). Again, who’d have thought Asheville, North Caroline would offer so much opportunity for a makeup artist?

Biltmore commercials

Today and tomorrow I am working at the Biltmore Estate. This job will result in two commercials. One for the Atlanta market and the other for cities around Asheville. They should begin to air within the next two weeks. I always have fun working on the Estate. Even more exciting, we are shooting inside the house. This is unusually rare. The last commercial I worked on started after the house closed and wrapped around 3:00 a.m. Today I worked with three beautiful “couples”…actually two out of the three actually were married to each other. Tomorrow it’s family time. Should be fun!

Sophie’s January Issue

We rang in the New Year with two magazine covers, our monthly Beauty Trends and another beautiful fashion spread for Sophie. The fashion spread was the brain child of photographer Audrey Goforth. (Thank you, Audrey, for including us in your vision of Downtown Asheville fashion).

I’d like to take this post to thank all of our customers and friends for a successful 2011. We celebrated our second anniversary in December. We had such a great year. We grew so much that we moved to a larger, brighter, more lively space just up the hall from our original little shop. Sometimes I wonder if all of the Buy Local signs are still getting the attention they did when the movement first started. Every time you walk into our shop I know it is still having an enormous impact. We truly appreciate all of your loyalty and support. I am so proud of what we’ve achieved in such a short time…in our little community. Thank you, Asheville!

New Year, New Magazine Covers!

This cover signifies new beginnings. It’s especially bittersweet because it is the last thing our Mendy did before setting her sites on Austin, Texas. Even before this issue of Verve hit the news stands, Mendy was on her way to a new life in Austin. We will miss her, and know that she will take Austin, no TEXAS, by storm! We love you, Mendy.

The Oriole Mill

This time last year,  (December of 2010) Mendy and I had the pleasure of working with Stewart O’Shields at the Oriole Mill in Hendersonville. It was more like a party as we know Stephan & Bethann, all of the models and love to work with Stewart. The project was to tell at story about the mill and what they create there for their new/updated website. We couldn’t post them until they had been unveiled on their site. Here we are, a year later, still proud to have been a part of such a playful shoot.

Behind the Scenes with ThermoScientific

So Tuesday I worked with Keith Wright of Wright Creative, Inc. and our client ThermoScientific. Thursday I was back in Keith’s studio to shoot the video portion of the job with the guys from Bonesteel Films. Getting a glimpse of what goes on behind the seams can be much more fun than seeing the finished product. So here are a few Keith sent my way…

Keith & Katherine

I know the heading sounds like just this should be another couple on their wedding day. Far from it. Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with the beautiful Katherine Drew Sigler.  We shot this with Keith Wright for ThermoScientific. This moring we’re back in the studio with Paul Bonesteel for the video portion of the job! I love that I can be in the shop working one day, and be in one of the top photography studios working with the best photographer and production crew the next!
