Nikki is a friend of mine, a beautiful young lovely lady with so much ambitious and the drive for much more in life, who
lives in the same city near where I live. I asked if she could be one of my models as I am trying
to put together a photo collection to mark my 20 (1994-2014) years anniversary in the beauty industry.
After a brief telephone conversation and the plan was
on. We set the time and date. The
location of the shoot was obviously at my awesome home studio that I personally
built a little while back, fully equipped with the latest software, hardware, cameras and lighting system.
The day has come; Nikki showed up in my front door with her big beautiful smile. I
invited her in, let her settle in, offer her refreshment, and we
start chatting away. I went on and start with her makeup using
Motives custom blend cosmetics by Loren Ridinger. This in fact, the only makeup product
I’ve been using the last two years on all my makeup applications like senior portrait, personal
portrait, engagement, bridal, weddings and special events for teen age girls, women of all ages,
and even men on their business, or personal portraits and had great results.
Why am I preferred
Motives custom blendcosmetics you may ask? Well,
Motives custom blend cosmetics not only allow me
the ability to 100% personalized & customized a perfectly match to any specific skin
condition, but also the ability to match the color & under tone for all ethnicity with different skin colors.
Motives custom blend cosmetics literally can perfectly match all shades of skin color without a hint of wearing makeup.
After her makeup, it was time to fix her hair. Nikki has the
most beautiful hair, with some natural highlight strands. I started to curl
her hair using a 1-½ inch Iron. It took me approximately 20mins to complete her
hair and she of course look even more gorgeous. She went on and get ready while I get the studio lighting
one last checkup. Everything was in order as I planned and the shoot begins. I
started to give Nikki some posing direction, and what I look for when I shoot.
The music I had in the background gives us the energy boost we needed. The first set
of look went on pretty smooth. Nikki went to get ready for her second look, and then third look with
different set of clothes, and props, while I get the light setting adjusted. As the session goes, Nikki was now becoming more comfortable with the studio environment, and start to flirt
with my camera lens which, exactly what she needed to do, because you looks
your best when you are most comfortable, relax, and just being yourself. The remaining of the shoot went impressively great!
Due to her discretion, I only wanted to share just a few shots here today.
