Brittany & Daniel's Stylized Shoot

The generous Latasha Haynes Photography wanted to bless a well deserving couple with a wedding shoot. Our team agreed that Daniel & Brittany were a perfect fit. They are an amazing young couple with an incredible testimony. Daniel and Brittany met serving with the youth at our church. During their engagement, they found out Daniel had cancer. While most engaged couples are worried about wedding details, they were fighting for his life. Daniel went through chemo that left him thin and bald on their big day. These two became one despite their tough circumstances. It was such a pleasure styling hair for their new photos. Brittany looked beautiful on her wedding day! For the shoot we gave her two completely different styles. Daniel has a whole new set of hair, which is common after chemo. By the time we shot, Daniel was healed! Praise Jesus! We love these baseball fanatics!

Summer? Fake it!

Mid 70's with a chance of sun is Summer in Washington for ya! You cant rely on mother nature. Here's a few ways to fake that summer look. First of all, get a tan! You can hit the beds but I prefer a little self tanner. Whether it be at home or in a salon, get a glow going. A little bronzer goes a long way too. Bright colors are always a nice touch a on the nails. If you have issues with polish chipping, try Schellac. I have had great success with this gel-based polish. There's no dry time and it lasts for two weeks! And last, but certainly not least, what to do with your hair. Want beach hair? Spray in a salt water based product. My fav is Bumble and Bumble's Surf Spray. Apply to damp hair and let air dry or diffuse depending on the natural amount of wave in your hair. It gives nice separation and texture. If you you swim in chlorine or salt water, shampoo with Kerastase Bain Apres Soliel. It will remove buildup without stripping your color or drying out your hair. Balyage highlights brighten up your hair with less maintenance that foils. These hand painted highlights not only look more natural, they last up to 12 weeks! That's about how long our summer is here in the Puget Sound! So here's to summer! Soak up as much vitamin D as you can!

Katie & Billy Married!

These two love birds are an office dating success story! My long time client, Katie was a picture perfect princess bride. I love that red hair! Her girls were all pretty in their pink. It was a pleasure spending time with mom Cynthia as we prepared her only daughter to be wed! I love that they celebrated all the lasting marriages in their families. They partied all night at the Liberty Theater in Tacoma. WA. Billy and Katie are off to a blissful start. I'm excited to see what the near future holds for them!
