I am so unbelievably happy that the last two weeks are over. Especially this last weekend. I took A LOT on and it wore me down. I never thought I'd be excited to be back to my normal work week today! Despite the stress, I had the fun and amazing opportunity to do makeup for the photo's you see above. I teamed up with some talented friends here in the desert and I couldn't be happier with the outcome! The blue art piece, 'Peritoneum', is a project done by group of students at ASU and one of those students is a girl who works with me at Hearts. When Ryan Walsh (photographer) approached me about the piece, we just knew we needed to shoot there! I got my friend Arthur Fredrico, a makeup and hairstylist, to join us to style the hair and Ryan's wife Amelia (who also works at Hearts with me) styled the shoot with dresses she designed and made herself. Dream team? I think so.TEAMPhotographer: Ryan M.
