Gabby-Portland Senior Rep

Gabby is LavendaSeniors newest senior rep.  She loves makeup and was all about having her makeup done.  For some people it's really hard to have someone else be near their eyes but she was totally relaxed.  It was actually pouring while I was doing her makeup but everything cleared up just in time for us to head outdoors.  I was digging her colorful wardrobe and that scarf!  Lavenda captured the sun beautifully behind Gabby while she was wearing her sunglasses.  Getting senior portraits done is a highlight of many high school students and I'm thrilled to be a part of their experience.

Take a moment (or two) for yourself this weekend and breath.       

Shelby

Shelby is a senior rep for LavendaSeniors.  A senior rep is the new and very casual way for photographers to advertise their services in high schools.  She was so much fun and photogenic.  I love all her "faces".  If you were to get a look behind the scenes you'd see her proud dad taking pictures of her too!  Shelby normally doesn't wear very much makeup so I gave her a makeover that was very natural.  Of course if you saw her in person that day you might say otherwise.  Isn't it crazy what the camera sees and what we see?

         

HD makeup vs. everyday makeup

I hope you are having a terrific Tuesday!  The IMATS in Vancouver, B.C. was a great experience and I gained some more makeup knowledge in the process.  It was a gorgeous day in Vancouver, I can't wait to go back there on vacation.  Without a doubt, one of my top favorite international cities.

Now on to today's topic.  Many people wonder what the difference is between HD makeup and regular makeup.  And why should I hire a professional makeup artist who uses HD makeup for my wedding or senior portraits?  The picture above shows you what happens when you combine an awesome photographer and a top of the line camera with everyday makeup.  You can literally see the makeup and the coverage isn't invisible as it should be.  HD makeup creates a soft focus effect for the camera, covers imperfections, and can withstand bright and harsh lighting.  It also means less work for a photographer in editing the images.  I hope this visual was helpful in showing you the difference. 

Sneak peak of tomorrow's dazzling senior, Shelby!
