I feel like the, "About Me" section is lacking something. I would like to sound professional (obvi) and convey my experience. Also curious if my avatar was a good choice. Suggestions greatly appreciated!

My name is Jessica and I have worked for Origins, Clinique and Sephora as a licensed esthetician. I have freelanced exclusively in makeup artistry for the past 8 years. Most of my work was on location for weddings and sweet 15/16 celebrations. I am here to work on my portfolio by meeting talented photographers and models. I am open to TFP if I get to have creative input and currently building a wardrobe to dabble in stylist work. My goal is to expand this current portfolio with more advanced art. Please check back often for new pics and collaborations through July. *PLEASE NOTE* As of March 2014 I am now residing in Altus, OK which is a mere 3.5 hrs from Dallas/FT Worth and 2.5 from Oklahoma City. Due to the move I am no longer working and have flexible time this summer before I start school in the fall. I would like to work a shoot with either a sultry or vibrant theme to expand my range of skills. Thanks for visiting!

Nothing was really wrong with your bio; the changes are simply to take references to past events out and replace them with a current spin, plus removing the out of work comment.

Of your portfolio photos this is the strongest in my opinion

If the photo is out of focus, has a distracting background, is off color or poor lighting its best not to use

Wish you well

Thank You for taking them time to view my port. I appreciate the suggestions and really like the changes on my intro. That portrait is a favorite of mine so going to listen and use as my avatar. xoxo
