American Beauties Calendar shoot

Here are a few more shots from the American Beauties Bike Calendar shoots. I was key makeup artist for the calendar, shot primarily in Syracuse, NY. I used Temptu Airbrush makeup on all models I worked on in the calendar.
The model, Chelsie Miller, is amazing. She won a modeling spot with ELF cosmetics and has been making a huge impact in the modeling field in Upstate NY.
She was recently in Syracuse Magazine in an editorial spread. Unfortunately I was booked with another client and unable to do the makeup for the magazine shoot. My partner in beauty, Tifffany Dewald was the hairstylist on the magazine shoot. Will post pictures if I can get some.

Bridal makeup & hair at Syracuse Sheraton

Chelsea

Had an amazing shoot at Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel. Models Jackie & Chelsea made beautiful brides wearing gowns from Spybaby's Boutique. I did airbrush makeup on both girls to create  flawless bridal makeup.
Tiffany Dewald worked her hair stylist magic, creating modern bridal hair. Chelsea had an amazing peacock hair piece borrowed from Showoff's Boutique, located in Armory Square, Syracuse, NY. The hair piece is from a local designer.
All of the beauty was captured on film by Kim Cook of Big Paw Photo.

Katie's wedding day makeup

Katie and her girls looked amazing for her August wedding! I was her makeup artist and had my assistant Stephanie offer a hand as well.

The photographer is the amazing Meghan Thomas. Thanks Meghan for the beautiful shot!
Hair was done by Encore Salon & Day Spa in North Syracuse.
Thanks to Katie for asking me to help her make her day a little more beautiful!

Bridal Shoot for Big Paw Photo

This was such a fun day! Got to work with some of my favorite girls! The dream team of Tiffany doing hair, myself as bridal makeup artist & Kim behind the lens means magic is happening. Two of my favorite models were scheduled with us and it was poetry to watch!

Model- Jackie

I really enjoyed "staging" a bridal session. I made bouquets both brides with artificial flowers. Had some fun with feathers in the hair, including a peacock hair piece on loan from SHOWOFFS BOUTIQUE, Syracuse.

Model- Chelsea

After the bridal gowns the ladies did a bridal boudoir shoot. All was shot on location at The Sheraton at The University. Alexis did a great job setting up the day for us to use various areas in the beautiful hotel.

Makeup Artist on Photo Shoots around Syracuse

So this Summer and Fall have kept me busy! Here are some shoots I worked on. I was makeup artist and did hairstyling on the following models

Photo Shoot with Morgan Marini

Model Morgan Marini

As a makeup artist I love collaborating ideas with photographers and hair stylists to get the perfect look. This shoot was so fun! Done at The Gear Factory, where Big Paw Photo has a new space, there were tons of interesting places to create some magic. Tiffany Dewald came on board as hair stylist for the shoot. Morgan Marini is the kind of model I love to have in my chair. She is open to anything and enthusiastic about her work. Her skin tone was perfect for the orange lip I wanted to do.

Jen & Kurt"s wedding

Jen is from Arizona and found A-List Artistry while searching for a Syracuse makeup artist on the Internet. She booked me for her wedding makeup artist and asked for a wedding hair stylist as well. I called in Tiffany Dewald. We never met Jen before her wedding day. She did a great job emailing her ideas and images during the planning stages.

Jen's fair skin and garden style wedding called for lighter fresh looking makeup. The amazing detail on the back of her dress called for a beautiful up-do infused with fresh orchids.

Behind the scenes Makeup Artist at work with local magazine

You may see that I do a lot of work with Kim. She is a photographer that I respect a lot. I like her style and she is a breeze to work with. She gives hair & makeup artists creative freedom with their craft. I did makeup and hair for this shoot. LOVED using the feather lashes on GENESIS! I also brought the feather accessories. I love texture against the skin. Both girls are a dream to work with!

American Beauties Calendar Update- Claire Spengler

The lovely Claire. Her eyes are sooo stunning! Makeup artist is me, Holly. I also styled hair for this shoot. I loved Claire's enthusiasim. I make it clear that I am not a hair styist and I only do simple styling for shoots. Claire told me "you can't style my a$$!". Guess that means she liked it. This shot doesn't highlight my talent, ha ha. Shot in Syracuse, NY

American Beauties Calendar shoot

Last week started a project of shooting for the American Beauties Calendar. It is a "motorcycles with beautiful models" calendar.

Some shots not being used in the calendar, but beautiful none the less

Tiffany Dewald Syracuse Hair Stylist joins forces with A-List Artistry

I am pleased to announce a new collaboration with Tiffany Dewald, master hair stylist. Tiffany & I have worked together on several projects over the last year and I find her professionalism & style to be outstanding. We spent 5 months working on designing & creating makeup & hair for the METANOIA project with Kelly Bogan. Spending 9 hour days together on a film set lets you see what a person's true personality & work ethic. Tiffany did an amazing job. 

 

Tiffany is one of Syracuse's "in demand" wedding hair stylists as well. We are working together on numerous bridal parties in Syracuse & throughout the Upstate NY area. Choosing a makeup artist & hair stylist that work well together and collaborate can make any wedding day or photo/film shoot a better experience.

Tiffany also shares my love of philanthropy. She was a stylist for the Ophelia's Place fashion show & was on the ARTISTS for AIDS team this year as well.  Look for us to continue that volunteering spirit in future events.
