Pride Video: Carolina's Healthcare and Beauty Asylum Hair + Makeup

The year has started and this girl has been a busy bee since the beginning of 2013.

I have so many great things to share with you all associated with my makeup work.  Most importantly Beauty Asylum is getting a vamped look with a new logo, brochures, and business cards. Over the last year I have been working with Carolinas Healthcare System on many projects ranging from website work, portraits, and videos. In the weeks to come I will share with you all the fabulous activities I have been participating in.

Here's a tidbit to get you going!

Work with Carolinas Healthcare System:


The camera loves to pick up shine and drown out color with a wash of barely there makeup.  I recommend using a high def  loose powder to press into the skin with your brush.  A powder puff; like this or this is great too.  Whichever strikes your fancy.  Just remember to buy them on amazon.  Caution: be careful using the high def on chocolate skin tones where as it can give off a hint of purple. In this case use Bobbi Brown Illuminating Powder.  Even though it it has the term illuminating in the name.. it is as flat as my singing voice :))

Have you seen yourself on camera before? What was your first thought?

Carolina's Healthcare and Beauty Asylum Hair + Makeup

Here's a few more images to catch your fancy.  Love Shutter Photography and makeup + hair by Beauty Asylum.

A good camera (and skill) makes all the difference in the world when you want to pay close attention to detail in an image.  In the near future I will have either a Nikon or Cannon in these hands.  Do you have a preference?

Carolina's Hospital System

Through the month of July a group of individuals have been working really hard to promote and launch the CHS Pride with Carolina's Hospital System.  During the experience I've been able to see each fabulous facility and I've heard some amazing stories.

I had the liberty of working with the men and women of Carolina's Medical Center and I feel like family. Over the next couple weeks I will be sharing with you my experience and contribution to CHS Pride!

Cheers! Here's to the future!

Above you can see the many faces of CHS. Check out Briana Randle with Love Shutter Photography.  She is the glorious photographer who worked her magic behind the scenes.  Briana was such a joy to work with and I look forward to working with her in the future.  More pictures to come!

LemonLove

On Memorial weekend the family and I packed up everything and headed to Georgia. We have not been back for a visit since baby Brantley was born in January- the trip was intended to enjoy family and friends. It also fulfilled the much needed break we seldom get from the kids. The weekend went quickly for us but it also came with a cherry on top.  After being together for 10 years Mr. Kendall and I made it official in October.   In celebration of this moment in our lives on Sunday we grabbed lunch with a good friend and had a dazzling photo shoot.  Mrs. Renee Hicks at Lemon Chic Photography got her gear together after having TWINS (!!!) and spent the morning with us shooting in downtown Decatur, GA. For more images you can check out Renee's blog LemonLove and check out behind the scenes fun with athomewiththehicks  :)

My First Time

In looking at pictures of the most recent wedding I have done to date I came across pictures of the very first wedding I did.  Super excited I found these at www.OliviaGriffin.com because I never had the contact info from the bride, Corey Mize.  The pictures are absolutely beautiful.  From that point it has been history.
