i was just digging through lightroom, editing some photos, and i ran across a few things i never posted here.  i started using TUMBLR a few months back and i posted them there - but really, who follows me on TUMBLR. i wouldn't even follow myself. :) if you sign up for an account, follow some people who post crazy-great inspiration, daily.

christina elfar of threeSIXnine THE HAIR STUDIO is a genius. i asked her to join me in the studio last month for some beauty shots, along with 5 fabulous models. she transformed these lovely ladies with five unique looks. i can't say enough good things about her talent. christina, you are a master with hair and make-up.  THANK YOU!

a big thank you to the chicas who joined me that day.  alexandria serafini, tiki nguyen, jenn spanks-castiglione and jordyn leigh and lisa bello.

i went with a retro 80's color thing.  semi-inspired by rihanna's rude boy video. there will be more posted soon. 

ALEXANDRIA

whoa.  i posted these images on facebook, but never got around to putting them up on the blog.  they were shot in the studio at the very beginning of february on a lovely sunday.  there were probably 6 or 7 models scheduled.  there were 3 no shows, including a stylist.  people really need to work on that. the ladies who did show up were treated to the christina elfar experience.  with the help of jason olivera and alexandria gosetti, they transformed they already lovely ladies into works of art. head down to Bella Nova Salon, 369 Central St, Foxboro, MA! shoot. i need christina to do MY hair.  :)  KMD

NOEL ESTACIO - make-up

AMELIA GENAO - assistant/stylist

back one sunday at the end of september, we had 8 models come in.  all 8 showed up.  all 8 rocked.  i think i posted a few 'teaser' images from this session before, but haven't posted more since then.  our theme was 'black'....just a color to tie all of the images together.  i'll eventually photoshop an ANTM style image of all the girls standing.  it should be dope.  :)  i said dope.  KMD


how gorgeous is ashley?  jesus.  she reminds me of katherine zeta jones.  classic.
