These pictures were taken on a COLD, COLD day in November and Ali did such an awesome job of braving through the cold! You can't even tell she was freezing in the pictures. I think her toes were numb by the time we finished the shoot.

Tiffany & Ted: Engagement Photos





I had the pleasure of meeting Tiffany & Ted a couple of months ago. Both sharing very laid back and kind personalities! I remember as I was doing Tiffany's makeup, the both of them would sneak glances at each other and without saying a word, warm and sweet smiles would be exchanged. Seeing the photos above reminded me of those very moments! Photographers Joanne and Jonathan from Encarnacion Photography did a great job at capturing these special moments - sweet, natural & happy!

Congratulations, Tiffany & Ted!

Pam & Tien's Wedding



I met Pam a few weeks before her wedding at Thi Makeup Studio (www.thicosmetics.com). She was there for a makeup lesson on sultry eyes. : )

Towards the end of the makeup lesson she asked if I could be her makeup artist for her wedding. What an honor that was! Pam & Tien are so sweet together. You can see for yourself in the beautiful photos taken by talented photographer, Erica Berger on the day of the wedding! Pam's sister-in-law, Marian Ha whom is also in the beauty industry (hairstylist) did an amazing job with her hair! Congrats to the lovely couple!
