LOL! On my beauty blog ( Makeup to Go! ), I write full-on articles, but for this blog I really just want to highlight new work of note. Therefore, over the next few days I’ll be switching this blog over from WordPress to Tumblr! I’m hopeful that the URL will stay the same, but in case it doesn’t below is the link to the new blog. Join me there, won’t you? :)

I met with a photographer friend of mine recently and we were both lamenting how long it takes, once you’ve done a job, before you can show it to anyone! So that’s been the case for me lately, lots of stuff in the pipeline but until I get the greenlight, I can’t share it.

One thing that has been greenlit is the new PBDorm catalogue I worked on a few months ago in LA and SF. PBDorm is the new big brother/sister catalog to PBTeen for young adults entering their college years. It was a blast to work on as always, and the pictures I’ve seen so far look great. Thus far I’ve only seen them on the website but the print catalog should be coming to stores any day now… I did the cover shoot as well as the content pages shoot. Makeup and hair by moi for all…

It was amazing to work with this international crew and it reaffirmed how much I really like working with kids. I’m also all up in the “behind the scenes” video. Yikes! :)

It may not look like it, but I actually did makeup, body makeup and hair for these. It’s always fun to work on a project that’s a bit different… (click to view full size)

It’s not been for lack things to write about, trust me, but I’m in good ole “Waiting for Pictures” mode. I worked straight through the holidays and will have a lot of groovy stuff to share in the coming months.

In the meantime, something I shot clear at the end of 2008 for designer Susana Mercedes is now in use on the designers’ website. I worked as a pinch-hit replacement for a last minute shoot and look at those results! Great team, and I had a great time. There are several different shoots on the site, but I had the pleasure of working on the shoot from which all of the opening shots are taken
