Test shoot with joseph bradley

I’ve known Joe for years! I actually worked with him almost a decade ago when he first started doing photography. We’ve worked together several times and then when I quit the industry to take a break, we lost touch.

It’s been neat to see how we have both grown and progressed as artists and get a refresh of some needed looks for Marilyns.

Plus, I finally got to meet sweet-as-a-button Hannah Dezarn, who is also a makeup artist represented with Marilyn’s.

In other words, it was a fantastic team. My Mom even joined us for the shoot!

Here are some of my favorites from the session together.

COTTAGE CORE SHOOT

It’s dynamite what happens when you get a powerful group of creatives together who are so passionate about their work.

I have worked with all of these ladies over the years in my time as a makeup artist (with the exception of the gals from Reign Beauty), so it was very cool to see us all come together for a project that was all about creativity, expanding our skills, and having fun.

We made art. We made beauty. We made something magical to be sure.

So, enjoy these stunning photos from our Bridgerton-inspired Cottage Core Shoot.

TEST SHOOT WITH SHANA JARRETT

What an incredible first test shoot out of my unofficial retirement, friends!

I felt so honored to finally have the chance to collaborate with Shana Jarrett, whom I had known of for years, but never had an opportunity to cross paths with.

This team was dynamite to be sure and I’ve often told people it’s one of the best shoots I’ve ever done. So, enjoy the final images!
