Introducing Portland designer Claire La Faye

Introducing Portland designer Claire La Faye Wednesday, Apr 14 2010

I was browsing the net a few weeks ago, looking for a designer’s clothes to use that have NOT been used a hundred times over already. I wanted something new… something fresh… something inspired. I love Sarah Seven and her designs but pretty much every makeup artist and photographer has shot her dresses. I didn’t want to be part of the masses.

I saw some of Claire La Faye’s designs and I just had to smile. It was everything I was hoping to find. Her stuff is creative, beautiful, and unique.

I immediately looked her up and found she was a recent transplant from CA and so I wrote her and asked to borrow some of her clothes for an upcoming shoot. Claire was very open and soon I had a photographer and some beautiful models, an amazing hair stylist, and an outstanding wardrobe stylist. It was to be perfect! Makeup by me, of course!

Here are a few images from the shoot…

More pictures to follow with beautiful model Sarah Shroeder.

ABC’s 20/20

I am so excited to announce that the nationally televised episode of ABC’s 20/20 that I did makeup and hair on aired last night. It was such a surreal experience. The interview was done by anchor JuJu Chang and was on Melissa Moore, author and daughter of the happy face killer. Melissa has written a [...]

The Outstanding Kyle Goldie

If you know me well, you will know I oft times lament about the lack of really strong photographers here in Portland. Now, Portland has a lot of photographers. It has a lot of good photographers. It has a handful of great photographers but that handful is small and I’ve shot with most of them. [...]

Leverage’s Parker on Tour

A fellow makeup artist sent me this today. I haven’t even had time to really look for any of these. It seems I have been running and working ever since I did Beth’s Riesgraf’s hair and makeup for her Electronic Media Tour. I love the clips they included to show the depth and breadth of [...]

I added a few of the images [...]

The lovely and funny Beth Riesgraf

This week had a fun and unexpected surprise. I got to break up the makeup monotony a bit and was contacted from TNT directly to do hair and makeup on Beth Riesgraf, one of the lead actresses on “Leverage.” I was super excited when they asked me to do this as I had been on [...]

Glamorous model and makeup

I finally got some images from a shoot I did a few months ago. I was excited to work with photographer Dustin Rowley and one of my favorite models, Morayma. We had styling done by the owner of the Gilded Closet and there was a hair stylist there which I always appreciate. I had fun [...]

Orange tile and fox fur

Here are the remaining looks from my shoot with Brandon Witzel. Miss Megan who is now modeling all over China was a really good sport for this last location as it was a covert little public restroom. I walked in and was afraid to touch anything and here was Megan leaning back against the walls, [...]

Black Eyes Black Lips

The first part of the shoot with Brandon Witzel was with Miss Megan in pointe shoes and a nice dress, we thought we’d dirty her up for 2nd half of the shoot. From this part of the shoots conception through its execution, the concept changed quite a bit. The final results were not what I [...]
