My Boudoir Shoot

I was unhappy with the way my head was cut off- so let's try this again! I also love the black and white with just red lips. Oh the wonders of modern technology!

My Boudoir Shoot

While in the process of doing model shots, I volunteered to be Jim's test model to figure out lighting for boudoir shoots. It was so much fun! And incredibly freeing. I love to be in front of the camera as well so it was neat to have the opportunity. I think we're all satisfied with the way they turned out!

Preston & Steve: Philly's Hottest Halloween Hottie: Elida

Plenty more photos to showcase! The gentleman's club that we shot at was incredible! The perfect location. and actually very beautiful.

Here are photos to follow the video link I posted from the Preston and Steve's: Philly's Hottest shoot. She's a beautiful girl and a lot of fun to work with: Elida. Angel vs. Devil.

Model Mayhem: Jess Part 3

The latest picture of Jess and I love it! What a wonderful showcase for the Motives cosmetics line- and so easily achieved! Also, Jess had a wonderful, full head of hair- but even if you don't, you can certainly achieve a sassy, full-bodied look without the need of teasing. What I use: Royal Spa Chamomile Shampoo, and Royal Spa Deep Conditioner in the shower. Then I spray Matrix Biolage Smoothing Shine Milk on towel dried hair before combing. After, I put less than a dime's worth amount of Matrix "Sleek Look" Smoothing Creme 1/4 away from roots to the ends. To finish I spray Matrix "Amplify" Root Lifter onto roots in 2" sections and then blow dry. A beautiful, full-bodied head of hair. This may seem like a lot of steps- but my hair is midway down my back and the whole "after shower" process takes me 20 minutes tops. Not too shabby!

Enjoy your hair!

Model Mayhem: Jess Part 2

She also had this small hay storage barn that was a tight squeeze, but a good time. It would actually be a perfect setting for some boudoir shots in the future! What do you think Jim? I love these shots! They turned out beautifully and I hope she's happy!

Model Mayhem: Jess

I was recently on a photo shoot with photographers James Andrew Yost and Andrea Lynn Fulton in Medford, NJ. They hooked up with a model: Jess ( I apologize for not knowing the last name off hand) from Model Mayhem and asked me to do hair and makeup for her headshots. The shoot was a lot of fun. She lives on a farm where her family competes with, and boards, horses. A wonderful setting for some great shots!

Makeup for Cold tip

Hey bloggerverse...(do people say this? haha)

So I know this is the season for some crazy skin troubles- myself included. Always moisturize ladies and gents before leaving the house! My favorites are Skintelligence Daily Moisture Enhancer
and Timeless Prescription Repairing Acne Lotion for those with some problem areas.

Also ladies, I know the chill adds a wonderful red, runny nose to your everyday looks...

To combat this- add a touch of concealer to all the areas that tend to get red. Around your nose, underneath your bottom lip, and even the tips of your ears! Redness be gone! Plus it will just add an even greater flawless finish to your skin.

And for chapped lips i go with Motives Vitamin E Lip Treatment (also great for a gloss) or Sephora Brand "Tricks of the Trade" Lip Balm. Even if you don't worry about chapped lips- yours should never be naked! These give your pout a wonderfully soft and smooth finish!

Have a wonderful day:)

Preston & Steve

The whole Devil/Angel contrast was so much fun to create! I rarely get jobs where I can play- so this was a lot of fun. I hope to do more in the future! Stay tuned for Philly's Hottest Wife (or Mom...I forget which)- coming in January.

Well hello everyone! I am very, very green when it comes to this whole blogging thing and could use all the help I can get! I wanted a forum to post all of my work, tips, and latest projects without the added cost of another website (especially since I don't even know how to build the one I already have!) and so here we are! Pretty soon I'll be posting my portfolio to the viewing public and hopefully away we go. You can also find me at Keylightfilms.net where I work with a very talented film family and marketamerica.com/maleeva where you can find some of the beautiful makeup I work with AS WELL as shop at all of your favorite stores and earn cash back!
