back in may, i hooked up with some of the talented rue la la family to “test” with one of our models, carolan. there was no real concept, other than a focus on beauty. lindsay nordberg put together a ton of looks for the day, while rachael berkowitz made carolan’s beauty stand out even more with hair and make-up. erika weatherbee was kind enough to come in and film some behind the scenes footage, as well (where i act like an idiot): http://vimeo.com/24806480
check out the final images from that day below. thank you to our team for the day! <3
model: carolan fleer

big ups to the various photoshop brush stock downloads from deviantart.com!
i was just digging through lightroom, editing some photos, and i ran across a few things i never posted here. i started using TUMBLR a few months back and i posted them there – but really, who follows me on TUMBLR. i wouldn’t even follow myself. if you sign up for an account, follow some people who post crazy-great inspiration, daily.

models: lisa bello & tiki nguyen
christina elfar of threeSIXnine THE HAIR STUDIO is a genius. i asked her to join me in the studio last month for some beauty shots, along with 5 fabulous models. she transformed these lovely ladies with five unique looks. i can’t say enough good things about her talent. christina, you are a master with hair and make-up. THANK YOU!
a big thank you to the chicas who joined me that day. alexandriaserafini, tiki nguyen, jenn spanks-castiglione and jordyn leigh and lisa bello.
i went with a retro 80′s color thing. semi-inspired by rihanna’s rude boy video. there will be more posted soon.

i photographed jasi while she was still a little nugget in her mama’s tummy. i finally got to meet this precious little girl in person and fell in love with her. she is the most well-behaved, pleasant kiddo i’ve ever met. i took tons of pictures during this session, and will post more of her brother jayden and her parents soon. for now, here is the little misses.

THE DREAM TEAM:
KARIN DAILEY – photographer

NOEL ESTACIO – make-up
JASON OLIVERA – hair
AMELIA GENAO – assistant/stylist
back one sunday at the end of september, we had 8 models come in. all 8 showed up. all 8 rocked. i think i posted a few ‘teaser’ images from this session before, but haven’t posted more since then. our theme was ‘black’….just a color to tie all of the images together. i’ll eventually photoshop an ANTM style image of all the girls standing. it should be dope. i said dope. KMD
how gorgeous is ashley? jesus. she reminds me of katherine zeta jones. classic.
jasmine is on the left and sybil is on the right.
here’s a quick little composite of some images of ondi. i shot her before….maybe in january or february of this year.
oh! this is vic! this is from a completely different day, but i don’t think i posted these on the blog yet. he was great to work with as well.
go models!
crazzzzzzzy hair! jason and christina worked on her hair. teasing and hair spraying. we had 8 models come in last sunday and all 8 showed up. i’m so proud of people when they come through. i’ve shot a couple of weddings with amelia genao and invited her along for the day. she became our wardrobe stylist for the day and put together this look. thank you alex! thank you amelia! thank you jason! thank you christina! OH! and how could i forget noel estacio on make-up!? thank you noel! we are a force to be reckoned with.

every couple of months, i like to grab a handful of models from MM (modelmayhem.com) and do a TF* shoot. it’s a fun way to try some new lighting or posing ideas. i’ve worked with some very talented stylists as well. christina elfar and jason olivera of bella nova salon and noel estacio were the talent behind the shoot a few sundays back. christina invited her friend, walid, to come in. he wasn’t too thrilled to be behind the camera, but i love these 2 shots of him.

Those are gorgeous I love the soft feeling they have, the triptych is really pretty!
