Sam Photo Shoot

I did Sam's hair and makeup for her headshots back in January and when she scheduled a shoot with photographer, Erick Blink, she asked me to do help once again.  Erick and Sam found each other through Model Mayhem and decided they wanted to work together on a few very specific looks.

The Borrower's Debt - Walking Home from Hollywood Music Video

The Borrower's Debt is a Los Angeles indie/folk outfit comprised of three cute guys and my gorgeous (as well as insanely talented) friend, Callie Ray. They filmed their first music video a few months ago and even though I wasn't able to be there throughout the shoot, Callie came over to my little office and I was able set her look.

Callie's whole vibe is very low key and relaxed and we wanted her hair and makeup to reflect her (for lack of a cooler term, "boho chic") style. Her makeup needed to be neutral and long lasting as I wouldn't be there for touch ups and her hair needed to be structured but still have that "I just threw this together" look. I think the outcome was perfect and definitely fit in with the theme of the video. See for yourself below!

We Need Help

I am SO excited about the web series, We Need Help, that Yahoo! is releasing this Fall. Starring Cheryl Hines, Rachael Harris, and Max Loeb, this series will make you laugh until you cry. I know this because I was lucky enough to work on this amazing project. My friend, Jeffrey Paul of Exclusive Artists Management, brought me on board to help out a couple of days.

Red Romeo - Like No Other Music Video

Last year I worked on a music video for Adrian Hibbs that was produced by my friends over at FaceHead Media. Adrian is an accomplished musician who has recorded with many bands such as Dashboard Confessional and Panic! at the Disco. When I took the job I was super excited to learn that we would be filming in the infamous Linda Vista hospital. Linda Vista has been an abandoned hospital since the early 90s and has been featured in numerous movies, television shows, and music videos.

Lindsey Headshots

I've had the pleasure of knowing Lindsey for quite a while and when she said she was getting ready to get new headshots I jumped at the opportunity to do her hair and makeup! Just look at her amazing features!!

Dirty Teacher

Last year I worked on the feature film, Dirty Teacher, featuring Josie Davis, Kelcie Stranahan and Cameron Deane Stewart. The movie was formally titled High School Crush but apparently someone thought Dirty Teacher had a better ring to it.  This gem of a movie just premiered on Lifetime at the end of March which had New Now Next  hailing it as "the best movie of the century."

A Tuscan Engagement

The night before I went away for college my mother and I watched Under the Tuscan Sun and I have been dying to go to Tuscany ever since.  My family has been talking about going to Italy for a few years and last summer we finally bit the bullet.  Chris and I were newly engaged and I just knew that the backdrop of Tuscany would make for amazing engagement pictures.  How lucky am I that my sister, Jordana, just happens to be a terrific wedding photographer?!

Hip to be Homeless

Ed from Facehead Media asked me to jump on this small production of Hip to be Homeless a few months ago.  I spend most of my days trying to enhance people's natural beauty that I jumped at the chance to do the exact opposite. This quick short is about a girl who isn't sure if she took home a hipster or a homeless man.  Makeup/Hair/Special Effects by me! Check out the video below.

Sam Headshots

I've known Sam now for about a year and when she told me that she was doing new headshots I immediately asked her if she needed help with her hair and makeup.  Prepping for new headshots can be tedious because you want to look as beautiful as possible while still maintaining a "natural" look.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part Two

When Layla called and asked if I was available to help get her and her boyfriend, Noel, ready for the premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 this Monday I immediately said yes.  They are some of my favorite clients and I really enjoy working with the two of them!

Suicidal Simone

Caroline was referred to me by my friend Brianna who I worked on a movie with in May.  She emailed me with this really great idea to do lifestyle shoots of characters that she created.  Caroline had 4 different characters that she had given life too and had spent hours writing these very detailed and quite amazing breakdowns on their history and how they viewed the world.

YOMYOMF's MotherLover

Back in August I spent a week filming with some of my favorite people for a web series for the new YOMYOMF YouTube Channel.  I had worked with a majority of the crew before but it was really a treat to work with Carolyn Hennesy, Ki Hong Lee, Jonathan Lipnicki, Joel Murray and many other talented actors.

Noel Fisher and Layla Alizada Pre Emmy Parties

Some of my absolute favorite clients were headed to the Emmys this year for the first time EVER.  I think I may have been more excited than they were! Noel's mini series on the History Channel, Hatfields & McCoys, were up for a few awards. Both Noel AND Layla had to battle a nasty flu/cold the week before when all the fun began.  They did get to make it to a few parties the weekend of the Emmys and they looked fantastic!

From the Comfort of my Home

I love collaborating with my friends over at FaceHead Media.  They always have interesting projects and give me a lot of creative freedom.  This is a small project that they submitted for the "Hey, Dish!Where's my AMC" contest.  Did you know that Dish Network dropped AMC?  WHY would they do that?  All the best shows are on AMC these days!  I know that I can't get enough of Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, and of course, Mad Men.

YOMYOMF's Always You

The past few weeks I have been doing makeup and hair on a super secret project for the YouTube channel, YOMYOMF.  I was lucky enough to work with the two finalists of Internet Icon, The Brothers Riedell and Lana McKissack, on a music video concept brought to life by Chester See.  I even got to work with my friend Ki Hong Lee again soon after we wrapped the web series, Mother Lover in early August.

Chris Headshots

John Cole of JBC Images referred Chris to me for makeup help when she needed to redo her latest round of headshots.  She needed a simple makeup application that could highlight her extraordinary blue eyes that could also be neutral enough to do for several looks and wardrobe changes.

The Walking Dead

I LOVE working with FaceHead Media.  Why?  Because I get to do amazing super cool projects like this one.  Ed Tommasi, Owner/Director of the production company, asked me to help out with this commercial they were putting together for The Walking Dead boardgame.  The script was written by the extremely hilarious and talented Elliott Morgan of SourceFed who even has a fantastic cameo in the piece.  It was also edited and produced by husband and wife duo, Curtis and Brittany McConnell, respectively.  Check out other FaceHead Media projects here.
