My photographer friend Blake Gardner and I get a mind to do some interesting shots every now and then. Here's some exapmples of that creative marriage. Wardrobe: Threadbare Hair/Make up: Jen Smith www.blakegardnerphotography.net

The Garden of Serendipity

I like to call Serendipity the most interesting party you'll ever attend. Basically we had characters interacting with the attending guests and had a well timed roundhouse of performances through the evening. The setting is a mystical garden where humans, animals and elements have adapted to each other in unique ways. Each character has a specific influence, such as the tree ballerina, the song bird bar tenders, the waspy singer, the mischievous grass creature or the scarab beetle. It was my first design gig in LA and it truly was creativity unleashed!

Talk about being resourceful! I worked as photographer, make up artist and hair for this shoot.

Check out the mad skills!

I am first and foremost an artist, whether it is clothes, hair or face I aspire to make a living doing my art. Here are some examples of girls for whom I have styled hair and make up.

America's next top model!!!!

We did a spread for Whitney Thompson the current winner of America's Next Top Model. These are a few of the images from the August edition of Jacksonville Magazine, and bonus pics from the shoot! I did hair make up and styling on this shoot. Whitney is the first voluptuous Top model winner and she is definately a sexy beast!

While I'm at it, I thought I would add in some pics from shoots I did with Whitney before she rocked it out on Top Model. She is just as hot with dark hair as with blonde! Versitile Vixen.

Coast to Coast

When I was living in Jacksonville, I would pop over to LA. My man and I were long distance for 2 years, so I'd take advantage of some shoot time with Blake Gardner when I produced new dresses. Lucky for me he has some gorgeous friends!
