Lauren "Lo"

Lauren is one talented person, she is a singer/songwriter with a beautiful voice. Currently living in NYC, a UCLA graduate now attending St. John's, she will soon have her second masters (so awesome)!!! After that, I am telling you...Look out for this girl! She definitely has what it takes to make it big! She was only in Cali for 10 days visiting family for the holidays and was actively making music in the studio. I was able to listen to her music  (I'm not gonna lie, when she said she was a singer, I had my doubts), but the girl's got soul! :)  Her before and after shots will be on my "Before and After" page releasing soon!

Meet Brianna

Brianna is a college student full of smiles and laughter. It is always a great time shooting someone with so much personality.

I had so much fun, I have been waiting for my friend tiff (@tiffmakesyoubeaurtiful) to finish cosmetology school so I could use her for a photoshoot. I was exciting to use an up and coming artist's talent for hair and makeup. What made this shoot even more memorable was the fact that my photographer cousin Arron (A-Mays-ing www.amaysinggraphics.com ) was there shooting and my friend Richard was assisting. 

Purely Jessica

For those of you that do not know, I graduated from The Art Institute as a graphic designer. I got the chance to meet and befriend a lot of amazing and talented people. I went to one of my fellow alumni, Jessica, from the fashion design program and ask if she could make a dress for me (well for a shoot haha) she if for yourself.
