Nadia Artistry { new site launch }

Remember the dollhouse shots I posted yesterday? Well, I'm happy to announce that I just pushed live the new website of the shoot's talented makeup artist (and model), Nadia. You may remember her lovely mug from the "Like" series I did around the holidays. Yep, she's the one who created each doll's makeup concept from scratch (you can see cool drawings she did in her planning on her blog) and executed the creepy futuristic faces with both skill and beauty. I really can't speak more highly of Nadia and her amazing styling skills! Without her, the shoot would have been lifeless. But with her talent, each gal was transformed into something straight out of a Luc Besson movie, for crying out loud!

I'd like to also mention that Nadia did Hannah and my makeup for Han's wedding back in September. With her magic hand, we felt like a million bucks-- all night long. It's pretty sweet to see her range from tasteful bride to crazy Blade Runner doll... please give her website a spin to see her diverse portfolio, and give her a ring if you need help with makeup, light hairstyling or wardrobe styling for weddings/events, tv/print, fashion/runway, or portraits. Take note that Nadia is offering a 10% discount on her services with the special code steepstreet. Sweet!

Tour d'Office { what I see all day }

I always wonder what other artists' home workspaces look like and after some recent badgering from friends and family who haven't seen mine, I'm posting a handful of glimpses. All are taken from where I sit at my desk and most are of trinkets from my childhood, feel-good gifts from friends, or books. So now you know what I see most of the day, other than my computer screen. Not a crazy showroom or anything but it suits me just fine for now.. while I daydream about building the barn/workshop/studio of my dreams. I'll begin with the supercool cross-stitched logo Hannah made for me and end with my favorite office feature... which I think you'll appreciate as much as I do.

Over the Moon Part 2 { Jenn & Danny }

Jenn, Danny, and their wedding party met their freshman year at UC Berkeley and have been best friends ever since. I absolutely loved hearing the perspective of each bridesmaid of groomsman about how Jenn and Danny's friendship turned to love... after all these years, they're still such a tight knit group, which was wonderful to see. Jenn and Danny put on an unforgettable bash with some of the best speeches I've ever heard, tasty food, candy, cupcakes, and raucous dancing that involved literally every generation of the family. Between the Hollywood theme, the gorgeous succulents everywhere, and the fun atmosphere their friends and family created, I couldn't have asked for a better wedding to be a part of.

Thank you, Style Me Pretty, for featuring this fantastic wedding on your inspirational blog. Check out the post to read more from Jenn, the bride's point of view plus lots of details from the flowers and catering to the ensembles and crafts.
