Portfolio: Christmas 2014 Shoot (A Closer Look)

Back in November 2014 I planned a little photo shoot with the concept of Christmas I've always wanted to do looks for the Holiday season and I had much time on my hands this was also made possible by our photographer Sir Gio Pesodas of Mangga Studio Cebu and my beautiful models Nina, Naomie, and Chad who are cousins apparently modeling and pretty faces run in their blood. I want to show you more photos and also list down the makeup I use for the shoot I use very specific makeup during shoots because I have to take note of the flash and lighting.

 I do the models hair and makeup, style the look if I provide the clothes and accessories and make the props and decorations for the set like the gifts and signs.

Every shoot and job is a new learning experience for me and attending makeup school really helped me in this shoot because I did the looks quicker and I was more organized. I should have made more decorations because the set is so big and white and I think the ones we had didn't quite fill up the space so next time I need to prepare more props and decor. Thank you to my models and awesome photographer for always helping make my visions into reality.

Thank you for reading!
Take care!

With much love,
