very selective with TFP. I arranged TFP only if I've either worked with you before and loved working with you or love your work and like to shoot with you.
I love makeup! I've done fashion & beauty photoshoots, pin up, TV, and bridal work for four years and counting! I don't do makeup for a hobby, I do it for a living and get paid doing it part-time almost everyday and most weekends. I'm very passionate about my work and my clients! I love challenges so bring it on!!
Born and raise from Hawaii... went to Kamehameha schools. I'm currently in Northern California. Yes... I'm Polynesian and mixed with other things. I'm professional but very easy to get along with... very approachable, humble and fun to work with! I may wear lots of makeup or not wear any at all... just don't worry and let's work together!
Most say I have to have more years tacked on with the looks I accomplish in most of the photoshoots... but most of my experience goes beyond four years... I've been been trained by MAC Cosmetics (Pro), Temptu Cosmetics with Airbrushing, self taught makeup books, recorded a couple of Youtube makeup tutorials, makeup demos, was signed with an LA and NYC agency as a plus model for years and winning pageants doing my own makeup.
I've worked with models represented by City Model Management, Ford Models in San Francisco and have expanded to more agencies!
I'm a successful airbrush makeup artist in MAC Cosmetics and Temptu Pro Cosmetics... Airbrush makeup is perfect for HD, Film and commercial shoots.
I've worked with many awesome talented photographers, models, stylists, designers, hair and makeup artists. Please forgive me for not putting credits of you here... I'm in the process of putting my lists together. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with you and look forward to working with you again in the future!!
