ryan’s youngest sister stephanie graduated high school this year and she asked me months ago if i would like to do her makeup for her graduation day. in case you don’t already know, i’m also an esthetician! i graduated from giselle’s school of aesthetics a few years ago. (i’m the one with the fiery red hair in the photos) i’m totally going to toot my own horn here and add the fact that not only did i graduate with honours, but i received final marks placing me in the top 3 of the class. during the course, i won first place in the makeup competition as well as first place in the nail art competition. to this day i am obviously still very proud of all this. =)
after working in a spa for a while i decided to focus on photography, and shortly thereafter decided to open my own business. despite this, i still continue to love and miss aesthetics. i still do pedicures for my mom and her friends! while i was still attending giselle’s, i lived with ryan’s family for a few months while my family was in the midst of a move. ryan’s two younger sisters took an interest in my makeup in particular, and we also had some fun eyebrow waxes in the bathroom as well… ha ha, good times!
before the day of her grad, i asked steffy to come by my place for a trial makeup run. we’d also been collaborating on some fun photo sessions, so i suggested she bring along her grad dress too so we could do a fun shoot while she was all fancied up! the shoot honestly knocked my socks off and i was raving about it for days afterwards. she’s already met up with panache management since then, and i’m willing to bet she will do so well if she decides to go forth with it!
we’ll be out of town at a wedding until sometime next week, so for now please enjoy this super fun video slideshow of some of my favorites from the shoot. more to come later in a full photo post!
enjoy =)
