'Julia', a creative

See the full gallery on Posterous

A little hair & makeup creative I did way back in January '11 (when this hair was still relevant!) with the amazing John van der Schilden.

I love the guy to death but getting images out of him is like pulling teeth!

Regardless, I think of few of these images of Julia are timeless. Oh to look that beautiful with next to nothin' on!

This is my second story for Flare Magazine titled 'Prints Charming'. One is chic and urban while the other is fresh and youthful.

In this most recent one, the lovely (and very tall.. 5'11"!) Amanda Laine was photographed by Evaan Kheraj for the May issue.

The Last Queen of Scots, Clin d'oeil Magazine - October 2010

See the full gallery on posterous

My newest story for Clin d'oeil Magazine features the lovely green eyed, 5'11" model Jacqueline of Sutherland Models.

Our team, including one of my fav photographers John van der Schilden (a name you'll see pop up quite often in this blog), trekked up to a farm north of Toronto to capture these beautiful images reminiscent of Scotland. Adding to the feel are Fashion Editor Judy MacDonald's picks for what's hot in plaid for Fall 2010.

Believe it or not, all that hair is Jacqueline's and though it took me about an hour to define the curls before combing them out into that lions mane, I didn't need to use a single extension. Gotta love that!

Quo 10th Anniversary Couture Collection

I'm a little late in posting as the special edition line is almost run it's course, but here is my latest work with Quo Cosmetics for their 10th anniversay Couture Collection.

I've been working with Quo since I helped launch the line across Canada 10 years ago and I'm mighty proud to still be working with such a great Canadian, cruelty free line.

Those that know me know I L.O.V.E. their brushes and from this collection, you really should check out the Face Palette in Rosey Outlook and their Perfect Polish in Bliss, a stunning shimmery teal.

Beautiful Breanna of Elmer Olsen Models was photographed by one of my favourite photographers, John van der Shilden who also shot Tribal Invasion and Divas Sport. Photo assistant, digi tech and all around amazing man on our shoot was Paolo Cristante.

Divas Sport, Clin d'oeil Magazine

Here's another story featuring Frances C of Elite Models, one of my favourite models ever! Love this tiny back wig on her... so different from the Tribal invasion story no?

Shot in Toronto by John van der Schilden, assisted by Paolo Cristante and styled by Judy MacDonald.

Tribale Invasion, Clin d'oeil Magazine

This is one of the many stories I've shot with a favourite model Frances C. of Elite. Why is she a fav you ask? Clearly, she's beautiful, has the best skin and hair but more importantly, Frances is a pretty good sport.

Not only did she sit patiently through an hour or so of hair torture, she also risked life and limb to give life to our story. Our photographer, John van der Schilden, had her jumping in some pretty serious heals for the May 2010 issue of Clin d'oeil Magazine.

It's a wonder she agreed to work with us again - I'll be posting the latest story soon.
