Stephanie & Dan Married!

Stephanie & Dan had an intimate DIY backyard ceremony at the home she grew up in with their closest family and friends. I loved their peacock feather accents! They celebrated at nearby CI Shenanigans Restaurant on Tacoma, WA waterfront. Dan fell in love with Stephanie's angelic curls, so we decided to show them off. Simple natural beauty at its best!

Congratulations Stephanie & Dan!

Need Shoe Repair?

Happy Friday! I just wanted to give a quick shout out to Proctor Shoe Repair! I brought in my pair of Miz Mooz that I thought were goners because I gouged the toe bad. I'm pretty hard on shoes. I took my soft leather heels in with little hope. The funny man at the counter took them to the back and seconds later brought them out looking as good as new! Then to top it off he didn't even charge me! It made my day! They alway do a great job, just be prepared for a little sarcasm. If you need shoe repair in Tacoma, Wa, Proctor Shoe Repair is the place to go!






FYI Nordstroms in Tacoma, Wa uses them for their shoe repairs!

Zlata & Paul Married!

This was one of the few weddings where I did both the Bride and Groom’s hair. Paul came to me a week prior for a edgy haircut. Zlata originally wanted a vintage updo but after the trial decide to go with a younger, fresher style. It wasn’t hard to make this girl look gorgeous!

Zlata is a Ukrainian native and Paul an American native. She thought he was younger, he thought she was older. What mattered to them is that they were equally yoked. Within a year they were engaged and legally married. Zlata still wanted her dream wedding and reception. I had the pleasure of attending this joyous occasion! The The Ruins in Seattle, WA was incredible! I felt like I was in a Disney movie. The food is excellent! DJ Brandon Ghorley kept the party going all night and Zlata entertained us all by singing to Paul with her beautiful voice. They skyped Zlata's mom in Ukraine throughout the night because unfortunately she couldn’t get a visa for her only daughter’s wedding. Pastor Casey Treat officiated the ceremony and blessed this union. It was privilege to be part of their big day!

Doing The Extraordinary

"What matters is what we DO!"

The moment I was asked to style for the Do The Extraordinary Athletic Apparel, I was like... Done! I am so in agreement with what they are about and stand behind them all the way! 10% of every dollar spent on DTE apparel is donated to a nonprofit dedicated to making a positive impact in our world. They have partnered with Stop Child Trafficking Now to bring awareness about the growing crime, Sex Trafficking. A portion of the proceeds of the DTE Red With Love Campaign goes towards SCTNOW.ORG. Awareness breeds action.
I didn't realize what a wild ride I signed up for, but so glad I did! I had a blast doing hair out of cars and on top of mountains! It was a great time working with the talented Latasha Haynes Photography, Makeup Artist Isabel Boyd, LightSaltFilms, and others that came along for the rides. The models were all super cool. Check out these video blogs of our adventures!

Do The Extraordinary

"DTE is a stylish, urban athletic apparel line, with designs by Blayne Walsh, and co-founded by 2005 NFL MVP Shaun Alexander, that exists to encourage, inspire, unite, and invest in the Extraordinary causes of so-called ordinary people.

On the surface we are a company founded by Justin Kercher and Shaun Alexander, and we are developing a athletic apparel line. At our CORE we are working to create a brand that stands for all that is GOOD in us! We are a generation with SO much possibility and we felt like it was time for a brand to rise up that represents that possibility.

What we want, is to inspire our generation to go after something GREAT, both individually and as a whole. We believe its possible to change the mind set of a whole generation and a whole world to live for something bigger than ourselves. We have SO much potential. What matters is what we DO. Its sounds grand, but ideas can change the world."

Kristina & Tristan Married!

I have been doing Kristina and her mom, Grace's hair for years. I was so excited the day she told me she was engaged! On her wedding day, her sweet dad was there taking pictures while I styled Kristina. He was so happy that his one and only little girl was getting married, he could barely hold back the tears. Her white flower was the right touch in her romantic updo. Kristina & Tristan were married at Rock Creek Gardens in Puyallup, WA. It was a beautiful day great details. I loved their custom bobble head cake toppers from The Younique Boutique and their wish tree. Check out these amazing photos by Indigo Portrait Studios.

Congratulations Kristina & Tristan!

Meet the Models

Christina has always been stunning. She has done her share of modeling and acting. With two wedding dresses, it was fun showing her in two different styles. More and more brides are wearing a different dress for their ceremony and reception. Thanks for spending your birthday with us Christina!

 

These photos are so Mallory! She and her husband are both artists that rock those tattoos. She’s as pure as her snow white skin yet has that sweet but edgy, Betty Page thing going for her. Today’s brides want to be themselves and do something unique. Thanks for being you Mallory!

Those curls on Anna are hers! I barely had to touch them up. She prefers her hair straight but I insisted on showing off her natural beauty. If you got them, flaunt them! She is an amazing wife and mom.. Anna pulled double duty, both modeling and doing makeup. If you need a makeup artist, let me know!

Christa is quickly becoming my muse. I’ve styled her for a fashion show, wedding, an ad, and now for my portfolio. I’m sure there will be many more photo opts to come! Can’t get enough of those beautiful blue eyes! Thanks Pastor Caleb Treat for letting us borrow your wife!

Junko is sporting extensions from her home country, Japan. She and her husband Ivan are an awesome and giving couple. After, 8 years they are still madly in love. I love how mysterious a black birdcage veil can make a girl look!

Miss Destinee is an aspiring model. She worked that little white dress! She perfectly portrayed the youthful bride. Short dress, hair down, topped with a white birdcage veil… Love it!
