1. MERRY CHRISTMAS MAKEUP
Since I work in cosmetics, I like to photograph makeup colors and techniques, but it’s an art! It’s not the same thing as a “selfie” in that you are photographing the colors of the nails, lippies, or shadows.
2. RICH GIRL NECKLACE
I decided to work on my up close shots, and loved how this blingy rich girl necklace photo came out, complete with glitter nails and studded collar! Nails are another thing that’s really hard to photograph well with out plenty of practice!
3. KS TENNIS USA
Since I am the “S” in KSTENNISUSA.COM (or so I am told) I help out with various media work. My husband loves teaching tennis and takes it very seriously, so I had fun trying to capture his persona and work ethic in some new shots I took for the new website launch! He helps me with so much and is a true friend, so it’s always great when I can help him to grow his passion!
4. AVENTUS
There are some men’s fragrances that I absolutely adore, and when I took a photo of Aventus by House of Creed, I loved the way it turned out, although it was just a camera phone shot! The crazy silver and black glitter nails looked appropriate with the packaging, and the article on my Top 5 Men’s Fragrances can be seen here!
5. BLACK WINTER SUNDAY
One of the very few fashion posts I did in December was Black Winter Sunday. Any time my husband snaps a photo in which he actually focuses, is a rare and pleasant thing. :0 It’s worth mentioning that this is a real outfit, that I really wore, when I really had some place to go. I will say, that hats are more for ease to me than for glamour. The girl in front of me in church, who had hair extensions crash and burn because it was so humid, wet and cold…probably wished she was cool enough for a hat. Just sayin.
6. MAKEUP ARTIST
I think of makeup artistry is an art form. A lot of us have made the product searches and trials a bit of a hobby, as well as a career. Photographing makeup is harder than it looks! I mainly use my Instagram account for fragrance, cosmetics, decor tidbits and such. It’s so much faster to post a fun lip color pic here and there on Instagram. You know what though? I think it’s creepy when the last 8 photos on a person’s Instagram account, are all of their own face, so I do try to keep my own makeup shots to a minimum. Plus, I’m old and I have a sleepy eye when I’m tired. Unless you are a Krisspy or Amrezy level of a makeup artist…it’s probably best to filter in something other than your own face. Just sayin.
