Hello Kitty... I mean 2010!!

I can't believe 2010 is here already and it's 1/2 through January, my oh my! This past year has been amazing for me and I hope that the next is even better! In the past year I went from working 4 jobs to doing only make up full time (talk about scary), opened a make up studio and got engaged! That's a lot for one year!

March 2009 is when I opened the brbc glamour studio but that was a feat in itself because 2 days before taking occupancy I had surgery! Little did I know that a week before my surgery a commercial space I have had my eye on for over 6 months would come available!

Surgery. Check! Lease the space. Check! Move in stuff....not so much! Thanks to Wes and my family I was able to move in and get everything painted without having to stress! They moved in all of my stuff, helped decorate and got all of my make up safe and sound where it needed to be. What a great support team they are for me and I am truly grateful for them.

Did I mention at the time of opening the studio I was working 4 jobs?! Waitressing, bar tending, make up and working at a salon. Whew! But I knew that I was working hard now so that I could do my own thing in the future and to see that happen is amazing. As of October 2009 I could officially say that I am a make up artist FULL TIME!

I wouldn't be able to do any of this without the support of Wes my fiance'. The biggest and best surprise all year was getting proposed to on our anniversary. I really had no idea that was coming and freaked out a little but I didn't run! I've never been to concerned about marriage, which is funny considering I do wedding make up, but I have a new found respect for my brides!

I feel so awe struck when I stand back and look at what I've done this year. When you're in the middle of it and it's swirling all around you it's hard to see. This year is going to be amazing and I've set some big goals for myself. I was inspired by Courtney Dellafiora with her list of "100 things to do before 30", it really made me look at what I want and I am working on my own now. The year is going to be wonderful and I'm really looking forward to it both professionally and personally.

Since it's never fun to have a "naked post" here is the promotional material for the new year!

Louisiana Lottery Commercial - behind the scenes!

So Friday night was the COLDEST night of the year and what were the artists from the brbc glamour studio doing?!?! A commercial, outside, at a park & in the open! AHHHHHHH!!!

Kate and I were FREEZING our brushes off!!!

Friday night we shot a commercial with Cool Blue Pictures for the Louisiana Lottery. This was the second time I had worked with this team and it was great yet again! We had a great trailer to get the talent ready in and the only thing that could have been better was the weather!

Here are some sneak peaks at the behind the scenes of the commercial!

It was set in the 1970's - so that explains a lot!

Boudoir Babe!

So I mentioned that we will be doing more boudoir hair and make up in the future and boy am I excited about that! I just love boudoir styling - sexy but not sleazy! It takes a certain eye to capture that and the right personality to make a woman feel comfortable while posing almost nude! I'd really like to branch out more into this style and really capture the over the top glam that is boudoir! It's nice to have something that really captures me after 8 years of doing make up! Also, because of a love of this style, I'm going to start learning some hair techniques! Keep it simple but sexy!

Here are some images from a shoot that I did with The Boudoir Vixen:
