Green on Green















On June 5th, 2008, Jim, Joe and I brought Green on Green to life. We wanted this story to be authentic, so we took our time when selecting our model, scouting locations and brainstorming hair and makeup. Our model Evan was styled by Jim in a few lively pieces from Katharine Story, of Laguna Beach.

The Look
I created a sultry smoky eye by lining the upper and lower inner and outer eye with black pencil and heavily patted on an array of burnt oranges, crimsons, and hints of plum and yellow. Blending was key for this dramatic drawn-out eye. Lips were stained with a bronzed copper and her cheek bones were heavily contoured with golds and deep browns. Her brows were significantly extended outwards to mimic the direction of her eye shadow. For the hair, I back-combed
her entire head, sprayed every inch with hair spray, added clumps of false hair for more height, and sculpted it until it looked finished.

Lululemon Pilates Ambassador Photoshoot


The sun-kissed pilates instructor Amy Cady turned up the heat in Laguna Beach at a sporty photoshoot for Lululemon. The makeup for this shoot was natural. My vision was to create a look with radiant glowing skin and flush cheeks. I kept a natural lip and painted the eyes in warm brown tones.

Shipwrecked Maiden



Watch the behind the scenes of a whimsical narrative photoshoot: Shipwrecked Maiden. Photographer Joe Scarnici set the tone by shooting in black and white film while Laguna Beach stylist Jim Olarte helped adorn this washed up damsel with hand-made shell necklaces, driftwood and feather hairpieces. Katharine Story provided her handmade creations of wrapped skirts and dresses, showcasing her nature-inspired style with vintage elements.

2008 ABC Bridal Fair Anaheim, CA



The Association of Bridal Consultants of Orange County hosted a Vendor Fair last Tuesday April 15th and I was asked to be represented at the fair by Gini Garner, one of OC’s most regarded wedding planners! There were wedding consultants from ABC-OC, ABC-San Diego, ABC-LA, and ABC-Inland Empire. The event was one of my first big breakthroughs into the wedding industry. My dearest friend/model Julie agreed to be my sidekick for the night. It was a blast!
