I had a BLAST relaxing like crazy this weekend! Its something I NEVER do, and it felt so good!!

I did make a trip to the MAC store for some GREAT goodies on Saturday that I used on my photo shoot today (Sunday) with my good friend Jennifer Phillips! Jennifer asked me to do her hair and makeup (and photography) for an upcoming feature in Pain Pathways Magazine. She is slated to have the cover AND an article in celebration of Fibromyalgia month in May. She and her son Ryan, both live with Fibromyalgia  and Jennifer has done a massive amount of work promoting awareness and teaching others how to live with the pain that Fibromyalgia brings.
We spent the afternnoon in makeup bliss and chitter chatter and I am VERY happy with her BEAUTFIUL results, I hope she is too!!!





Hello all!

So its been a little while since last post..last Saturday. On Sunday, my beloved computer crashed and to make matters double bad, so did my husbands computer! ALL I have been left with is an older HP that my children "game" on! Since it will be 2 weeks before my computer comes back, I have been forced to try to make things work on this "gaming" HP. I have been making several updates so at least this thing is usable! HA!

So I would like to share a Makeup job that I did for an upcoming calendar for the Petersburg, VA area. It was my job to turn, Patsy Stuard, CEO, of Fort Lee Federal Credit Union, into JOAN JETT! 

SO, here is a photo below of JOAN JETT for your reference:


and here is a photo of Patsy the way she normally would look: 




AND HERE IS PATSY after I transformed her!










I think she looks AMAZING! I am so happy to have worked on this project!

I had a great time with Katherine (Bride to be) and two of her Bridesmaids today as I arrived at her home in Fredricksburg to do an location bridal makeup consultation. She so graciously had a beautiful layout of yummy muffins, cheese and crackers and Mimosa's with strawberry garnish. What a lady and a host!

As always I love consultations because there is so much value in them. For little cost, you get to try on multiple colors and create looks for your upcoming wedding or event that I know you will love. You get a trial run with what will look amazing and get more choices as we create your color palette together. The best part is that Katherine smartly scheduled her consultation on a day where she has another event! As a matter of fact, she is attending a Ball this evening with her fiancee. She looked amazing when we finished her makeup and hair and she was ready to get swept off to the Ball!! So scheduling your consultation along with a evening diner would be a great idea to get the most bang for your consultation buck!


I took a few photos of my day to share with you! I first stopped at CVS to pick up a few items and WALA....Loreal had 75% off their HIP colors! I ADORE the loose pigment eye shadows so I was thrilled to pick up a bronze color for upcoming pageantry makeup I am doing AND I picked up a light lime called Restless in which I used with a Clinique smokey grey on one of the bridesmaids today. BEAUTIFUL with her light skin and blond hair!

A great day comes to an end....happy dancing tonight Katherine!

UPDATE:

Here are a few picture of Katherine at the Ball!


So I got a phone call from a company that is doing a Rock N Roll Promo calendar for the Petersburg area featuring CEOs of Local businesses! I am going to be the makeup artist for the JOAN JETT month look alike person!!  I am just thrilled! I will try to get lots of photos and keep you posted!

In the MEAN TIME, I am running a great in studio special for weddings! $55.00 for up to two hours of consultation for your wedding!
I am excited to be ON LOCATION this weekend for a BRIDAL consultation for A December 31st wedding! HOW EXCITING! Love to hear from you! My 2011 calendar is booking UP with Weddings! So don't delay in contacting me!! Book your wedding to make sure your date is STILL OPEN!!


Welcome my guest Kacie Lynch. She came over to the GLAM studio and had a great time relaxing and experiencing the GLAM studio first hand! You can see the little photo I took of her above after she so kindly adjusted my camera (it takes GREAT pictures now). She is such a breath of fresh air! I have been in the business for a long time and after seeing her photos I can tell you she really has a Gift for photography.





What is your business?

I’m Kacie, an on location, natural light photographer. I photograph maternity, family, lifestyle, and engagement sessions. I photograph just about everything! J

How did you get started?

I’ve always loved art and photography, and for a while threw around the idea of making a living out of it. I started out photographing a few family sessions here and there for friends, and then decided to take the plunge. I haven’t looked back, and I’m so thrilled to be doing what I love!

What do you like most about taking pictures?

I love knowing that what I capture through my lens is something that a family will be able to treasure forever, and always have to look back on.

How can we reach you?

I’m an email junkie, so you can always reach me at kacie@kacielynchphotography.com!

How would you describe Joy in ONE word?

If I had to describe Joy in one word, it would be: fabulous! Joy IS fabulous, and knows how to make you feel fabulous!

Did you like the studio?

The studio was awesome! It was comfortable, cute, and relaxing. I had great time!

Would you recommend Faces By Joy to your clients?

Absolutely! I plan on it! 
My long time friend Billy Caldwell of Uptown Talent was instrumental in setting up this photo shoot, so this great group of actors could get some shiny new photos. Advance Visual Production served as the host and photographer. We had a lot of fun! Here are just a few photos from the shoot that AVP so kindly gave to me to show off on my blog and web site!  I did the makeup and assisted with hair styling.
For the most part these are unretouched photos. They are the raw images off the Cd they sent of MANY. I simply added a border to the photos. The gentleman at the bottom, actually had a black and blue right eye! You will observe how fantastically the airbrush covered his black and blue mark.
