The Pink and Orange Headpiece with Julie DeCoste

Last year my niece, Mariah, and I set out to make this head piece for a shoot we hoped to do that weekend.  Well a year later we got to finish the headpiece and shoot it.  Inspired again by world renown photographer Manny Librodo, we set out to create a fantasy, dreamy, girlie, simple little shoot with one look.  The goal of the shoot was to create branding images for Pretty Muse.  Images that reflect the spirt of what we do.



Mariah is a self taught makeup artist.  Give this girl a brush and some pigments and you are going to get something that will knock your socks off. We unleashed her with a mass of makeup and brushes and an array of false eyelashes and she went to work creating the finishing touches of Julie DeCoste's look.  I think you'll agree the makeup is incredible.

So we took Julie DeCoste, who was also visiting Stuart, Florida and made a simple little dress and plunked her down amidst the foliage outside.  We put the reflector behind her and draped a bunch of tulle and chiffon fabric in varying colors of pink and orange into the leaves.  And she, unfazed by her own spectacle, she had no idea how incredibly beautiful she looked, she gave us one pose after the next.  I was thrilled because these are indeed very VERY Pretty Muse.  So our goal was more than satisfied.



























How cute is this face?  Be sure to watch the video for even more scenes from this amazing shoot.  Thank you Julie for trusting us with such an over-the-top look you did a great job modeling our look for us.  And Mariah, you never fail to amaze me, it was a pleasure to have you shoot with us and your makeup skills blew me away.  Thank you both for being my little rock stars.
