Mixed Feelings on Makeup

I just posted a new blog on my site. Personal this time on my feelings of makeup.

I am a little biased when it comes to wearing makeup, but overall personally not a huge fan of it. But like most women, I will use it if needed. But since when is having to wear makeup necessary? The only times I do use makeup is for special events like photo shoots, promo events, gatherings, or if I don’t think I look pretty that day. On the days when I don’t feel pretty without makeup, I would…

Joining a Photography Club

I posted a new blog on the benefits of being part of a photography club. Take a read!

This was my first being a member of a photography club. At first, I joined for the fun and giggles. But then when we had a meetup planned and I decided it’d be interesting to see what actually goes on at these meetings. The meetup was at a rented studio in Norwalk, CT. Lights everywhere, large backdrop, photographers and models doing their thing, learning new skills and camera settings. I really…

My artwork

I posted a new blog about some of my favorite works of art.

Drawing is something I’ve been doing ever since I can remember. If you’ve read one my previous blogs, you’d see that I am what most people would say ‘multi-talented’. It started as a fun hobby as a child then I eventually start taking Visual Arts classes at my college. I thought I’d take some time to show you readers another one of my talents. This photo below is a drawing I made for one of my…

Here's how I ready myself for a Photo Shoot

It is without question that models need time to prep themselves for a shoot just as photographers do. I personally require to schedule shoots no less than a week in advance. Some models are more or less. This gives plenty of time to prepare yourself, your wardrobe, and any other necessary items. Some of us like to do some research on our photographer if it’s your first time working with them.…

What to bring to a Photo Shoot

New Blog about what to bring to a photo shoot.

Lip Balm : You will need to keep your lips moisturized almost constantly. Modeling in most cases is like acting so it requires a lot of face movement or even speaking to get the right face shot. This can make your lips dry out very quickly. Sneakers or any Comfortable Walking Shoes: If the location of your shoot requires a lot of standing or a taking a long walk on a trail or adventuring…

Cruelty-free Makeup Brands

This new blog that I've posted is about some makeup brands I've used that are cruelty free

I don’t always like to wear makeup. I feel it does more damage to the skin than it does enhancing the facial features. So when I do wear makeup, I make sure that none of the cosmetic products are tested on animals. There are several brands I would instantly go to when needed. My favorite makeup brand to use is by Eyes Lips Face ( E.l.f.). This is my favorite not only because it’s cruelty free,…

My Past Photoshoot Experiences

I have a new blog posted on my site. Take a read, learn of my new found progress.

I had my very first photo shoot after graduating from the Barbizon program in 2004. I was directed to bring 3 styles: Sports, Business, and Casual. I came in with a blazer, blouse and a skirt for the Business style. For sports, I brought some form-fitting activewear and a tennis racquet. For casual, I wore jeans and a tank top. It was very awkward at first because most of what I was taught was…
