Kate

Kate- wasn't that the most perfect location in downtown Tacoma for your senior pictures? It was an especially amazing background for that gorgeous dress you made (I'm still in awe of your talent!!!!).

Your posing and knowing just how and when to move made photographing you so easy! What a pleasure. Enjoy these images. There are so many great ones (especially of your dress- but I wanted to show a variety!) it was hard to choose!

Jax model Jori

Here we have Jori! She got swooped up before I could take her out for some before shots, but it's fun because you can see Jack (of Jax Salon & Spa) at work, and Kristine in the background. I guess it's a good thing Jori went first because she had so many different layers of colors- it seemed like she was in that chair forever. So worth it though, look at the final results!

Lots of great layers to her new cut- look at all the movement!


Jori texted us today- she LOVES her new cut and color and has gotten so many compliments from all her friends!

Jax hair model Emily

Whew- what a crazy day! The hair modeling sessions were fabulous. We had several models come in to Jax Salon & Spa for fabulous make-overs. What's great is how brave these models are! Really- going into an amazing, high end boutique salon and giving then complete control over your hair, while completely cool, is not as easy as it seems!

I had to show our model Emily first because she had the most dramatic change, and the BEST attitude! Once her new hair was revealed, Emily could not stop smiling! What a fun, dramatic change. Love it Emily!

And I have to give a special thanks to Jack, Austin, Natalie and Michaela- you guys worked hard all day long to give our models wonderful, updated looks. Amazing!



Here is Emily 'before':
And Emily 'after'!

Congrats to Alex!!!

Ok, Alex I had no idea you were even up for homecoming court until a little bird told me that you were crowned KING! How cool is that!!!!! Congratulations- well deserved!

Hair model practice images!

I am so excited for tomorrow! But, probably not as excited as the five models I have lined up to work with our new preferred salon Jax Salon & Spa. Jax is located in the downtown Gig Harbor waterfront area. Though they are not new to Gig Harbor by any means, Jax is in a new location which is just amazing. You walk in and just feel the relaxation come over you. The styling and attention to detail owner Jack Call has put into this studio is unbelievable.

But back to tomorrow.... our five models are coming in to Jax for a complimentary cut and color. Jack and his staff will evaluate their current hair style and give them a new, updated look for the fall season. How fun is that! Their new style will be topped off by a full facial make-over by one of Jack's professional make-up artists.

Then, this is where I come in and take some super fabulous images that Jax will be using in their portfolio, website and marketing materials.

Cool! Don't you want to be a hair model too????

If you are interested let me know- especially if you are a gal who is willing to go short with your hair (a bit hard to come by in these parts!). We will have upcoming modeling dates soon.

Oh, guys- this is for you too!!!!

Here are a few practice shots with a funky background we are using for our hair models. (And thank you to two of my most favorite little miss's! that were so kind to pose for me!)

Homecoming Court

Congratulations Amanda on being nominated to the Homecoming Court! I'm very excited for you. Hope you and your date have a wonderful night.

Meg

Meg- I had so much fun at your senior photo session. Downtown Tacoma was perfect for all the great outfits you brought. I love having my stylist along to quickly give you new twists on your hairstyle. The pin up she did for your trash the dress images was perfect!


This picture above is the 'before' shot. As in- before the GIANT wave came and almost swamped you! I thought it would look so great to have waves gently lapping up against you... I had no idea that boat would make them so gigantic! And down below we have the 'after' shot. As in, after you were swamped up to your neck by the water!
We had fun! Can't wait for you to see the rest!
