2014 is the Year we want to see You.

                                                                       2 0 1 4 

I can't believe it is March and I haven't actually put a new blog up so My apologizes.

I have been busy and here are some of the women I have been working with and I thought you would like to see their before and afters.The lady at the top had her hair and makeup done with Razors Edge
while the other three all went to Salon Spice and you can see for yourself how beautiful they all are.

And yes, certainly having your hair and makeup and the clothing makes a difference. But what I see is beyond that.It is the confidence in themselves and their real beauty shines through. And get this, three of these ladies have not even seen their images yet at the time of writing this today!! Thank you for giving your permission all of you to put these up and share your images with other women.It is through you that others believe that they too can have an image that truly truly reveals the beauty I see in all of you ( and now I hope you believe too!)

HELP PORTRAIT 2013 Prince George





Prince George was one of many many cities in the World on Dec 7th  that put the focus on giving and not Taking. For the 5th year running,makeup artists,hairstylists and photographers in over 67 countries, gave the chance to many people to have their hair and makeup done for free and receive an 8x10 at the end of the day. Analisa Lundstrom of Pinups Punks and Pretty Things Hair Lounge was the real makeup artist that day. I just helped out at the end and that is when the photographer from the Citizen came by! Our local photograhers who put aside time to come out, many thanks to all, but particularly to Peggy and her team from Loxx Academy of Hair Design who really made a HUGE difference in so many  with their brushes and wands -  Bill at WD West Studios who supplied the 51 portraits we gave out and to Starbucks on Central who once again supplied the coffee and to St.Michael's and All Angels Church who gave us the use of their hall for free again.You are all angels .
