New Site!

It has only taken me 10 years in the business to get a website up and running. I promise this does not have a thing to do with my work ethic, but directly relates to my relationship with technology. Thanks to Richard Smallbone for my posh new location.

The Red Carpet Room

The Red Carpet Room is the brain-child of Amanda Brugel (8th from left). She gathered her fantastic Canadian celeb friends on a rainy afternoon for a glamourous shoot featuring everything gorgeous.

The Style Box

This shot is for The Style Box - the fashion-baby of agent, Gail McInnis (4th from left) and actress, Amanda Brugel (5th from left). For more information on their innovative and stylish venture visit http://www.thestylebox.ca/.

The shoot was very cool. I had the honour of working with Alice Kilpatrick, esteemed makeup artist. The clothes were extraordinary and the style team got to pull inspiration from classic beauties such as Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, and Elizabeth Taylor.

Recent and upcoming

I forgot to mention that a few weeks ago I worked with the picture, Adam, starring Hugh Dancy. Rose Byrne, and directed by Max Mayer. I did the grooming for the men. The day was similar to most press days - tv interviews in the morning, and print in the afternoon.

It was an early start, but done by 1...just enough time to get home and do a hair and makeup trial for this Saturday's bride, Karen.

I will post photos of both Hugh and Max, and Karen too soon!

More wedding make-up!

A few beautiful brides from 2008. Here, Alicia, Sarah, Lindsey, and Melissa work it for barebonephoto photographer, Emma Smallbone.
