Summertime Sass

One of the things I enjoy about doing hair and makeup is working with cool local businesses and meeting new people. Lucky B Boutique is a super cute women's clothing and accessory store located in Broadripple here in Indianapolis. Every so often I partner with them to do hair and makeup for their photoshoots. Recently we ventured to Eagle Creek Park to showcase some airy summertime shots. We started out the day working at the boutique and I did some soft glamorous looks on both of our models. I love the look of tousled curled hair and smoky yet natural eyes which really make the eye color on both of these girls pop.

Makeup touch up's are a must throughout the day so I pack a little makeup tote to go because you never know which palette or lip color you may need.

 

Ethereal looks are so fun to do for photoshoots -usually the softer and less perfectly put in place the hair, the better. I love incorporating braids, pin curls and volume and (lots and lots of backcombing) into my hairstyles. 

I love the way the sunlight captures the makeup in these photos. Pastels on pale blonde hair can be so much fun and perfect for Spring and Summer daytime looks.

 

My theory on updo's is usually the less organized or polished the better -pay more attention to fullness and creating symmetry and not so much on making everything so smooth. Perfect for Indiana humidity mixed with the perfect maxi and a fun lip color.

Here we were going for big and wild to coordinate with her tribal maxi....you know what they say, "The higher the hair the closer to heaven"
