I don't know whether it is the time of year, the fact that it is the last school dance, the youth and beauty of the girls, or the innocence at heart of all of these yooung girls; I really cannot pin point what it is about prom season, but it is one of my favorite times of the year! It takes me back in time to my youth, and all I can remember is how much fun those days were! Going shopping for the perfect dress, and then looking through magazines for the perfect look...Then the day came when I went to my hairstylist aka "fairy godmother" and she performed her miracle work on me :) I will never forget the way she made me feel everytime she got me ready for an occassion. Its one of the strongest feelings I have ever felt, and it is what drives me to attain the utmost perfection when I am at work, "working my magic" on all of these young ladies trying to make each and every one of them feel the way I did. Its been a long time coming...I finally collected a few of my favorites from this past year....<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SqzoChAWBRI/AAAAAAAAAdo/xdW4lB9lS-0/s1600-h/prom+2"><img style="cursor:pointer;

We've seen eachother grow up, finish school, get engaged, she got married, and now she is soon to be expecting her first little one. As Alicia said, this mom is a natural "born to be mom" kind of girls! Yup its true! She is due in just two weeks! I cant stand it anymore! I can't wait to see the little guy! Well along with these little blessings I have the privelage to get these gorgeous mommy 2 be's ready for their pregnancy shoots! The more I do them the more I love it! Why do I love it so much...here's why...because they are obviously already bigger than their usual self cuz they are carying a baby! So...being bigger usually doesnt ever make us ladies feel better...even though they have people telling them "ooohh you look so good", they are just going "uh huh ya right in their heads."....Until!...that is the hair and makeup gets done, and they look at themselves and go "I still got it ;) and I can see the confidence and sexiness again! Thats what I love about these shoots! Lindsay you look gorgeous as always...<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3DnAf9wHI/AAAAAAAAAa4/6v80vUEY1nc/s1600-h/rolando-1976.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 182px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3DnAf9wHI/AAAAAAAAAa4/6v80vUEY1nc/s400/rolando-1976.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376668605066625138" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3Dm4P54CI/AAAAAAAAAaw/ZZwwpDeEJUA/s1600-h/rolando-1845.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3Dm4P54CI/AAAAAAAAAaw/ZZwwpDeEJUA/s400/rolando-1845.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376668602851778594" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3DmZrJT-I/AAAAAAAAAao/0T33gxfH2Zs/s1600-h/rolando-2058.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3DmZrJT-I/AAAAAAAAAao/0T33gxfH2Zs/s400/rolando-2058.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376668594644537314" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3Dl34WCAI/AAAAAAAAAag/FsLM5i1-pqQ/s1600-h/rolando-2139.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3Dl34WCAI/AAAAAAAAAag/FsLM5i1-pqQ/s400/rolando-2139.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376668585573091330" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3Dlm3upTI/AAAAAAAAAaY/-Psv571LrPc/s1600-h/rolando-2164.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3Dlm3upTI/AAAAAAAAAaY/-Psv571LrPc/s400/rolando-2164.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376668581007107378" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3geyf8SoI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/Re03TW-N6wA/s1600-h/rolando-2235.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3geyf8SoI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/Re03TW-N6wA/s400/rolando-2235.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376700349706685058" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3gebmFRvI/AAAAAAAAAbI/JTe_XqSNrpw/s1600-h/rolando-2200.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 246px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3gebmFRvI/AAAAAAAAAbI/JTe_XqSNrpw/s400/rolando-2200.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376700343558424306" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3gd8QEMfI/AAAAAAAAAbA/SHn9bD-Sggo/s1600-h/rolando-2156.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sp3gd8QEMfI/AAAAAAAAAbA/SHn9bD-Sggo/s400/rolando-2156.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376700335144579570" /></a>Lauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-63635509769173255052009-07-29T10:40:00.000-07:002009-07-29T10:53:17.816-07:00Sandy, Paul, and Baby Bump!I cannot believe that the time has come....Sandy is Pregos! She really is....I am still in such shock? I dont know why, I just can't believe that the belly is real, there is a living little girl in there, and we are all going to meet her so soon! I cannot wait to meet her! I am so fortunate to have been part of Sandy and Paul's life together since day one and watch their relationship evolve. First dating, then serious relationship, then fianced, then married, and now they are both going to be parents! I am so happy for the two of them I cant even tell all of you. So this past Sunday Alicia (themoderntype) and I got together for their Baby Bump Shoot! When i got there Paul was playing the role of expecting dad by getting the room ready! Yup he was painting the babys room! Thats kind of when it hit me "holy shit" they are really gonna have this baby! and there was Sandy as cute as can be in her little summer dress and her bump! I got to spend a few hours with both of them while I got Sandra glammed up for her shoot! The two of them did such a good job! I love the way these pics came out! Alicia did yet another amazing job with her artistic vision. Her creativity pops through in these shots! Enjoy!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCMRVFMHQI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/iljHVGtMV7o/s1600-h/sp_darling-76.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 314px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCMRVFMHQI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/iljHVGtMV7o/s400/sp_darling-76.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363941385542835458" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCMRBhHrZI/AAAAAAAAAaI/G5cD3Tm6UnU/s1600-h/sp_darling-8.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCMRBhHrZI/AAAAAAAAAaI/G5cD3Tm6UnU/s400/sp_darling-8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363941380291276178" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCMQw525zI/AAAAAAAAAaA/hX3MDD1ZaN8/s1600-h/sp_darling-11.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCMQw525zI/AAAAAAAAAaA/hX3MDD1ZaN8/s400/sp_darling-11.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363941375831631666" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCLoF9vPJI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/ClvxjY6B8a0/s1600-h/sp_darling-26.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCLoF9vPJI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/ClvxjY6B8a0/s400/sp_darling-26.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363940677110414482" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCLnHcI8DI/AAAAAAAAAZw/8OUlmcARN0M/s1600-h/sp_darling-49.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCLnHcI8DI/AAAAAAAAAZw/8OUlmcARN0M/s400/sp_darling-49.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363940660326494258" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCLmw9knpI/AAAAAAAAAZo/tVYDVNhr9co/s1600-h/sp_darling-82.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCLmw9knpI/AAAAAAAAAZo/tVYDVNhr9co/s400/sp_darling-82.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363940654292704914" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCLmksgmaI/AAAAAAAAAZg/zIaLhs2R-V4/s1600-h/sp_darling-93.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCLmksgmaI/AAAAAAAAAZg/zIaLhs2R-V4/s400/sp_darling-93.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363940650999912866" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCLmfmrt_I/AAAAAAAAAZY/fWs_vCmCvM0/s1600-h/sp_darling-103.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 208px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SnCLmfmrt_I/AAAAAAAAAZY/fWs_vCmCvM0/s400/sp_darling-103.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363940649633298418" /></a>Lauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-27302363605864583422009-07-29T10:34:00.000-07:002009-07-29T10:39:52.194-07:00A june Bride...Christine & MikeChristine was such a fun bride full of personality!

About A year ago when I worked for Salon Sessions in Pasadena I went and did a job for Model latina. Model latina is a reality model show on Si Tv. At the time when I did the hair for this show, it was going to be several months until the show aired..Well...time goes by new work presents itself and I guess I kind of forgot about that project. Well it is now 11:44 on Saturday night and as Im flipping through the channels guess what I come across. Yup Model Latina the show! Im so excited to see the footage that I worked on! The girls were hilarious, super sweet and absolutely gorgeous! My favorite was Victoria! She wanted something different to make her stand out so I cut her some bangs and gave her a modern retro braid with a flower for the music video to make her stand out and separate her from the other girls! After all it is a competition so I wanted her to feel like an individual! She loved it! They rocked the shoot! I had a great time touching them up throughout the entire shoot! Check out the music video <br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XG-kBtVufC8&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XG-kBtVufC8&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iGbQeuUx2ULauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-76751290574518645792009-05-29T17:51:00.000-07:002009-05-29T19:00:41.556-07:00Alicia And Steven Have Been Wed* May 2009I haven't looked forward to something like this glamorous day for a long time! Although it was something that I was desperately anticipating, I was at the same time stressfully dreading lol! Not in a bad way; in a good pressured way! Theres nothing like working weddings. Although I am a professional and extremely confident in everything I do when it comes to hair and makeup, BRIDES are another story! They bring out another side of me. Maybe its because I am a girl and i loooove weddings and i think that the way a bride looks on that special day is one of the things she has drempt about since she was seven, So I put all of their hopes, wishes and dreams onto my mind and loose about a week of sleep before getting them ready for that big day! I "no joke" go home once Ive been asked to do the job and start daydreaming, and nightdreaming about what will be the vision for that bride. Everyone has their own look. Their own special features, how do i make the good ones look great, and the bad ones "hide out"? How do I make the bride speechless when she looks in the mirror? How do I get everyones Jaw drop the minute she walks in the door? How do I get the groom to tear up the minute he sets eyes on her?<br /> All of these things are running through my mind the minute i get the job to do a bride! So At the end of the day although it is the most stressful assignment, it is also the most rewarding! To know that I made a young womans dreams come true, and made her feel like a hollywood moviestar/ queen of the day! There is no money in the world that can give me those feelings of satisfaction! So with that said, I need to say Thank you to my good friend, photographer, and this time Bride, Alicia Landin for taking my work and expertise to the 10th power and looking absolutely flawless last Saturday and being one of the most beautiful brides I will ever lay my little hands on! Check her out everyone here she is...<br /><br />please click on images to englarge and get a closer look!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SiCLQ5Ga9iI/AAAAAAAAAXA/uSaAQe7ARQY/s1600-h/BlogAliciaSteven0026.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

First down, big with a vintage birdcage veil. Look Number two was down with lace mantilla, and then my favorite thing to do is to change the bride for her grand entrance! Alicia chose an elegant loose romantic style with a custom made couture flower! I loved all of it! So much fun!Lauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-11211422752300537062009-04-22T10:32:00.001-07:002009-04-22T12:45:34.993-07:00Something newIn this world of new technlogy there are always newer, and better products on the shelf. It is important for me in my career to stay updated and informed with the latest imprvements in hair services, treatments and products. I am so thankful that I had the chance this past Monday to dedicate the day to Milbon Straight Liscio. I went down to Gavert Atelier Salon in Beverly Hills, CA and took an advanced course in their Liscio Crystal Concept for japanese straightening systems. I Have used a form of the Liscio system several times before and was extremely impressed with the product. A new form of the product has been developed to better accomodate todays style. <br /><br />About five years ago everybody who was anybody was getting Japanese Straightening done. This type of straightening leaves the hair bone straight permanently. Now, in todays world, super straight isn't really what we are all going for. We now want silky, but bouncy wavy hair that moves and falls naturally. So the wonderful chemist behind Liscio have now developed the Liscio Crystal Concept to leave the hair just like that! It is an improved version from the previous 1998 gel form, and 2005 cream form. the innovation is shinnier, softer, and has the ability to make curly hair naturally straight and pliable!<br /><br />So in addition to this system, what I am really excited about is the hair care line that I discovered during this day of trainging. I immediately fell in love with the backbar products that come with the straightenig system...and it turns out that now four years later they have developed a complete hair care system! I have always been interested in products. If I wasnt a hairstylist I think I would be a chemist and create my own haircare line. However, I feel like this is exactly the way I would want my line. I havent tried out every single product yet, but I am so excited to get my hands on everything and hopefully fall head over heels in love with it all.<br /><br />Why am i so crazy about this line?<br /> several reasons: 1. It is ginormous<br /> 2. There is a different type of shampoo, conditioner,and leave in serum for every single type of hair<br /> 3. Its all about the science of hair<br /><br />I have never in my life found a line that breaks down the hair follicle and knows how to repair every type of hair and scalp like this line.

My scalp is nt getting enough blood flow which is causing the secretion of water and oils to have almost stopped producing leaving my scalp incredibly dry. Some people have the opposite problem, an overactive system in which yur scalp produces and secretes too much oil which can also be a problem leading t build ups, and unhealthy scalp conditions! <br /><br />I am estatic to try this line! I wll be letting you all know how it goes! If you are interested in any of it give me a call on my cell phone I would be happy to be your hair doctor and help you out with any problems that you may be having with your scalp or hair! 818.568.6214Lauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-11296517578747632222009-03-20T17:53:00.000-07:002009-03-20T18:12:40.865-07:00At last...its Ala's time!I had been looking forward to getting alicia ready for this important shoot! As you all know Alicia is a good friend of mine, and an amazing photographer herself! After watching three of her good friends plan their big day, it was now time to get hers started! Her and steven are getting married on the 23rd of May, and I cant wait to get her ready for the big day! Those of you who know Alicia know how creative, artsy, meticulous and amazing she is; so I knew this hair and makeup had to be perfect because being the perfectionist that we both are I wanted her pictures to come out flawless! I was extremely pleased with the way it all turned out! I prepped Alicia the week before by retouching her color and giving her an uplifting cut. I was really happy with the way her color looks on film, like a rich deep brown and slightly cool mahogony. I did large strong waves, and lots of teasing to get her hair sexy, done, but not too done! As for the makeup i needed to pick a palette that would complement a series of wardrobe changes, and make sure that it wasnt too much for casual yet important engagement pics! Hope you like...<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ8w5FIkvI/AAAAAAAAAUI/jMUus3dly64/s1600-h/BlogAliciaSteven0002.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 246px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ8w5FIkvI/AAAAAAAAAUI/jMUus3dly64/s400/BlogAliciaSteven0002.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315440270857769714" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ8wzyjUKI/AAAAAAAAAUA/LkBK3ftk9Mg/s1600-h/BlogAliciaSteven0005.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ8wzyjUKI/AAAAAAAAAUA/LkBK3ftk9Mg/s400/BlogAliciaSteven0005.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315440269437653154" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ8wiFxGRI/AAAAAAAAAT4/v5P0c63BX_o/s1600-h/BlogAliciaSteven0003.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ8wiFxGRI/AAAAAAAAAT4/v5P0c63BX_o/s400/BlogAliciaSteven0003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315440264686410002" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ8ws7IEYI/AAAAAAAAATw/F18BYFywJuk/s1600-h/BlogAliciaSteven0008.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ8ws7IEYI/AAAAAAAAATw/F18BYFywJuk/s400/BlogAliciaSteven0008.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315440267594568066" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ8wf7P3oI/AAAAAAAAATo/ShsFIFNBdWg/s1600-h/BlogAliciaSteven0004.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ8wf7P3oI/AAAAAAAAATo/ShsFIFNBdWg/s400/BlogAliciaSteven0004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315440264105418370" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ9XOR0DBI/AAAAAAAAAUw/LjfdrOOowc0/s1600-h/BlogAliciaSteven0013.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ9XOR0DBI/AAAAAAAAAUw/LjfdrOOowc0/s400/BlogAliciaSteven0013.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315440929383123986" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ9XGzxa1I/AAAAAAAAAUo/MVC1OGeVJ9E/s1600-h/BlogAliciaSteven0010.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 246px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ9XGzxa1I/AAAAAAAAAUo/MVC1OGeVJ9E/s400/BlogAliciaSteven0010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315440927378074450" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ9W9UpTvI/AAAAAAAAAUg/xs_w5k_VYZ0/s1600-h/BlogAliciaSteven0011.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ9W9UpTvI/AAAAAAAAAUg/xs_w5k_VYZ0/s400/BlogAliciaSteven0011.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315440924831600370" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ9WzJ1HbI/AAAAAAAAAUY/okXjCzhsjw8/s1600-h/BlogAliciaSteven0012.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 334px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ9WzJ1HbI/AAAAAAAAAUY/okXjCzhsjw8/s400/BlogAliciaSteven0012.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315440922101882290" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ9WnetsqI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/CnqNS_6F3gc/s1600-h/BlogAliciaSteven0007.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 246px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/ScQ9WnetsqI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/CnqNS_6F3gc/s400/BlogAliciaSteven0007.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315440918968251042" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />all photos were taken by Jasmine Star PhotographyLauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-67878050066281943682009-03-04T23:49:00.001-08:002009-03-04T23:49:43.156-08:00For My Bride's to BeSince Wedding Season is around the corner I thought I would put up some of my favorite looks! Everyone has there own likes and dislikes, but as a professional I thought it would be fun to share my advice with you about my favorites and not so favorites!<br /><br />Of course all hairstyles and makeup are relative to the persons face shape, hair texture, and color palette, but here are some of my favorite looks in regards to hair and Makeup!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa86SsOTfLI/AAAAAAAAAQI/Gp7h2pvuU2c/s1600-h/CarmenChristinaWeddingHair.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa86SsOTfLI/AAAAAAAAAQI/Gp7h2pvuU2c/s400/CarmenChristinaWeddingHair.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309526578476317874" /></a><br /><br />Tips: If you have a narrow small face you want your hair and curls to be directing back...opening up the face.<br />If your face is on the larger heaviers side the curls/ waves or just blown out layers directing in towards the face will narrow it out a bit.<br /><br />Partings: If you do not like your nose, I would not suggest middle partings! To play it safe I recommend side partings about 80% of the time.<br /><br />Bangs: I am a fan of bangs, i think they are soft, youthful and flattering on most women! However you do not want them to be overpowering or dramatic on your wedding day, so a longer flowing bang is usually my number one choice for brides. If you have a larger forhead it is a must!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9yMbQehGI/AAAAAAAAAQY/7sEb7TeEsWo/s1600-h/jenniferanistonweddinghairstyle.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9yMbQehGI/AAAAAAAAAQY/7sEb7TeEsWo/s400/jenniferanistonweddinghairstyle.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309588043493966946" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa86S0DQHNI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/pa9CqgN52xY/s1600-h/eva-wedding-hairstyle.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa86S0DQHNI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/pa9CqgN52xY/s400/eva-wedding-hairstyle.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309526580577443026" /></a><br /><br /><br />Hair accessories...<br /><br />If your dress allows for flowers and if you are a flower type girl then some simple flowers like orchids can make a wonderful statement!<br /><br />Jeweled Broches, pins, and or swaroski crystlal barrettes always are an excellent way to catch the eye and draw some attention to your hair! <br /><br />I really loved the way Jessica Simpson placed hers on her wedding day...<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9yMvsubQI/AAAAAAAAAQg/G4eH_jJjGow/s1600-h/jessica-simpsons-wedding-hair.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9yMvsubQI/AAAAAAAAAQg/G4eH_jJjGow/s400/jessica-simpsons-wedding-hair.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309588048981159170" /></a><br /><br />When It comes to the reception, If I have been hired by the bride to be her stylist for the entire day, I usually like to change the hairstyle when it comes time for the reception! I think it adds a nice little touch to enter the party with a different do! My favorite look for a bride who has worn her hair down for the ceremony is to pull it back slightly like these two pictures! This is fresh, not too done, but extremely Romantic! Perfect for the rest of the night, dancing and drinking...you will not be fussing with your hair!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9ypxEroMI/AAAAAAAAARw/wcOSnhOP4Ok/s1600-h/large_image.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9ypxEroMI/AAAAAAAAARw/wcOSnhOP4Ok/s400/large_image.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309588547566280898" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9ypohjF4I/AAAAAAAAARo/ZvkZijoolOI/s1600-h/spring06_hair2a.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9ypohjF4I/AAAAAAAAARo/ZvkZijoolOI/s400/spring06_hair2a.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309588545271437186" /></a><br /><br />Just because I havent mentioned up-do's yet...doesn't mean I don't like them!<br /><br />On the contrary, Up-do's have always been and i think will always be the classiest way to go! However before I convince a bride to go in this direction I discuss a lot of options with them, being completely honest of what I think looks good, and what I think is just totally outdated!<br /><br />My Opinion for 2009 brides, I dont think curly loosy updo's are relly in style right now. When It comes to pulling the hair up I am seeing very clean, bold pinned, structured do's! However these do's are not puny little nothings, they are so groomed that the clean large lines and bigger pinned curls are really what catches your eye! If your having trouble imagining what I'm describing here are some examples of up-do's that I think are in for this year.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9yqI3b1HI/AAAAAAAAAR4/lyoCW9SGDvE/s1600-h/wedding-hair.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9yqI3b1HI/AAAAAAAAAR4/lyoCW9SGDvE/s400/wedding-hair.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309588553953170546" /></a><br />I absolutely love the volume in this updo above, and i wasnt crazy about the babys breath flowers at first...but the more i look at it , the more i like the softness of it!<br /><br />Here's a modernt twist on a 50's style do! Love it!<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9ycT3ldiI/AAAAAAAAARg/cKTrNl2H2Iw/s1600-h/large_image-8.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9ycT3ldiI/AAAAAAAAARg/cKTrNl2H2Iw/s400/large_image-8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309588316388423202" /></a><br /><br />This style would be good for a bride or a bridesmaid in my opinion! If the Bride is a blonde with lowlights this would look really good, or it could also work for bridesmaids Hair as well... because it's pulled back intricately but not too flashy!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9ycA1dSoI/AAAAAAAAARQ/HKMXE-HvO3o/s1600-h/large_image-6.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9ycA1dSoI/AAAAAAAAARQ/HKMXE-HvO3o/s400/large_image-6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309588311279225474" /></a><br /><br />Another gorgeous updo, optional for bride, bridesmaid, or mother of the bride. I like the big and softness of it for a bride, it is simple enough for a bridesmaid, and I feel like theres a bit of maturity and sophistication to this do, which makes it mother of the bride appropriate! I feel it has a regal feel to it*<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9yboaFwxI/AAAAAAAAARI/Uiehk3EPJtw/s1600-h/large_image-5.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9yboaFwxI/AAAAAAAAARI/Uiehk3EPJtw/s400/large_image-5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309588304721986322" /></a><br /><br />This up-do is beautiful but simple! I would recommend it for bridesmaids; I don't feel it has enough "umph" for a bride, and it is too small for the M.O.B!<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9ybgDoljI/AAAAAAAAARA/REhugaFD3Yg/s1600-h/large_image-4.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9ybgDoljI/AAAAAAAAARA/REhugaFD3Yg/s400/large_image-4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309588302480315954" /></a><br /><br />Here's a beautful example of floral placement for an updo like this! I love the flower choice, the placement, and the proportions of the whole thing!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9yN9rKxNI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/P_Gwn-rGPf0/s1600-h/large_image-3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9yN9rKxNI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/P_Gwn-rGPf0/s400/large_image-3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309588069912593618" /></a><br /><br />I am not crazy about this one personally but i think its because the hair looks like it has too much hair spray! But the actual updo is nice, soft, and out of the ordinary!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9yNsijiRI/AAAAAAAAAQw/xXL0YwdhEgA/s1600-h/large_image-2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9yNsijiRI/AAAAAAAAAQw/xXL0YwdhEgA/s400/large_image-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309588065313065234" /></a><br /><br />Now this up-do is very different from what I think is going to be the trend for 2009, but I realaly like it! I like the oversized flower and the placement of it! The hair is messy and pretty curled.. but the way this do is done caught my eye! I would recommend this for a maid of honor, or mother of the bride who really wants to be noticed!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9yNNrIKuI/AAAAAAAAAQo/SNy3q5Fkcn4/s1600-h/large_image-1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9yNNrIKuI/AAAAAAAAAQo/SNy3q5Fkcn4/s400/large_image-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309588057027521250" /></a><br /><br /><br />Okay now lets go back to what I was talking about before with ig, but bigger pinned pieces...Heres an example of that! This is a gret choice for mother of the brides! I like it...and i like that it will work for practically all hair types! and if you don't think you have enough hair for it...we put some pieces in no biggy!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa86ScP8AYI/AAAAAAAAAQA/sW174AFS7Ac/s1600-h/beautiful_wedding_hair_and_makeup_andrea_schutter_2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa86ScP8AYI/AAAAAAAAAQA/sW174AFS7Ac/s400/beautiful_wedding_hair_and_makeup_andrea_schutter_2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309526574188200322" /></a><br /><br />Brides pay close attention to this: " If you have a bridesmaid that has short hair like this picture, PLEASE do not make her pull it up into tiny little knotts! Let her show of her cute cut, and just incorporate whatever hair accessory all your other bridesmaids will be using! She will love you, and your pictures will look much better than having tiny little spiky ponytails coming out of her haid!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa86SCi9VHI/AAAAAAAAAP4/KCT1108QnAw/s1600-h/94176tiara4.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa86SCi9VHI/AAAAAAAAAP4/KCT1108QnAw/s400/94176tiara4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309526567288657010" /></a><br /><br />I could not put up this page without showing all of you MY PERSONAL favorite wedding hair! this is most likely the type of hair I want on my big day!

Do not get a crazy heavy shadow crease on your wedding day! You do not want to hide your eyes! you want to bring out your eyes! So accentuate them! DONT COVER THEM! <br />#2 Your skin! Make sure that your coloring for that day is healthy looking! Its bright, hydrated, and acne free (as much as you can) Tans look good and healthy but don't go overboard! (...i cant believe im actually posting this on here buut...okay here it goes!) If you are tanning, and or using a bronzing cream...share some with your fiance!) You want both of you to look good together as a couple! So help your man out, and try to make both of you look your best! ;)<br /><br />Blondes: I recommend natural bronze, sands, copper and beiges usually for eye shadows especially if you have blue eyes! the orange pigment will make them pop!<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9zJKHugaI/AAAAAAAAASI/uYBz6c3SQlA/s1600-h/tr_article_makeup_bride.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9zJKHugaI/AAAAAAAAASI/uYBz6c3SQlA/s400/tr_article_makeup_bride.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309589086865883554" /></a><br /><br />Brunettes: I recommend lilacs, mauves, fusias, and violety browns for eye shadows especially if you have brown eyes! The purplish pigment will bring out the green!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9zI9tYxvI/AAAAAAAAASA/Xwz6hlVKSqY/s1600-h/imager.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/Sa9zI9tYxvI/AAAAAAAAASA/Xwz6hlVKSqY/s400/imager.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309589083534182130" /></a><br /><br />This has been so much fun sharing all of my Do's and Don't with you all!

Erica and Adam have been together for over seven years and finally sealed their love this Saturday at Los Willos Venue in Fallbrook Ca. This month was a month of preparing not only the gorgeous bride, but all of her closest loved ones! A wedding is sooo much more than just a morning of prepping! its a year of planning for the family, and a month of prepping for me the stylist, cuz i really careand want everything to be the way you imagined! I got Suzie aka M.O.B (mother of the bride) hair extensions which were simple clip ins for the day; however simple may be a bit too light of a word, because her 100% human hair extensions were custom blended by mua to match suzie's hair color to the T, highlighted, low lighted the whole enchilada! As far as the Bride was concerned we colored and trimmed her hair about 2 weeks before the event, and then matched and ordered her 100% human hair as well. Once we got her hair we did a full set of 18" sewn in extensions. Erica has long hair naturally, but she and I wanted to hair to be the fullest and biggest it could possibly be for the big day, so soultion was ....EXTENSIONS! In addition to the bride and m.o.b i got a few other close relatives and friends ready for the big day...cleaned up father of the bride, a bridesmaid, and wedding planner/ close family friend!<br /> So in short words ...I have been looking forward to this day for quite some time now, and am super excited to show you guys a few of the pictures that her photographer has finished!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxtUP4Z_aI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/WXv76HokEJ8/s1600-h/erica+10.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxtUP4Z_aI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/WXv76HokEJ8/s400/erica+10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304234655763529122" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxtUMFUVxI/AAAAAAAAAOI/jfCFRL9H8vQ/s1600-h/erica+8.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 287px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxtUMFUVxI/AAAAAAAAAOI/jfCFRL9H8vQ/s400/erica+8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304234654743942930" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxtT51j6mI/AAAAAAAAAOA/lSMHpXmSwIk/s1600-h/erica+1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxtT51j6mI/AAAAAAAAAOA/lSMHpXmSwIk/s400/erica+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304234649846016610" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxtTtbJOqI/AAAAAAAAAN4/Gtyq4lEbOeM/s1600-h/erica+5.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxtTtbJOqI/AAAAAAAAAN4/Gtyq4lEbOeM/s400/erica+5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304234646513990306" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxtTcfUsKI/AAAAAAAAANw/fsyQOA7MAe0/s1600-h/erica+3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxtTcfUsKI/AAAAAAAAANw/fsyQOA7MAe0/s400/erica+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304234641968115874" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxuTTc6cbI/AAAAAAAAAO4/PzjjpBVuVME/s1600-h/erica+9.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 296px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxuTTc6cbI/AAAAAAAAAO4/PzjjpBVuVME/s400/erica+9.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304235739053715890" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxuTKyyJcI/AAAAAAAAAOw/a4c6FIyQcvE/s1600-h/erica+7.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxuTKyyJcI/AAAAAAAAAOw/a4c6FIyQcvE/s400/erica+7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304235736729527746" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxuS_2CppI/AAAAAAAAAOo/n7xT_iS4qgc/s1600-h/erica+4.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxuS_2CppI/AAAAAAAAAOo/n7xT_iS4qgc/s400/erica+4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304235733790402194" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxuS9XmBMI/AAAAAAAAAOg/WwcgniU9qow/s1600-h/erica+6.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxuS9XmBMI/AAAAAAAAAOg/WwcgniU9qow/s400/erica+6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304235733125825730" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxuSg1Wr1I/AAAAAAAAAOY/9a9LtP764zs/s1600-h/erica+2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 251px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxuSg1Wr1I/AAAAAAAAAOY/9a9LtP764zs/s400/erica+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304235725466021714" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxusdZ1m7I/AAAAAAAAAPA/IByBGnmpOtk/s1600-h/erica+11.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SZxusdZ1m7I/AAAAAAAAAPA/IByBGnmpOtk/s400/erica+11.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304236171221900210" /></a>Lauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-67982729009266572292009-01-04T22:50:00.001-08:002009-01-04T23:18:38.352-08:00I've found my Resolution!For the past four years I have made my resolutions based on getting fit, loosing wieght, eating better, and trying to be healthy...ya these are all positive things but theres a huge problem; they are only about me! This year I wanted to make a change, not only with myself, but actually have more of an impact in helping those around me. I am so very fortunate that I have the ability to impact the lives of so many people, especially those closest to me. So with all of that in mind I decided to start 2009 with a new open, driven, giving mind. <br /> My boyfriend Ariann's little cousin Kimberly was visiting us over the holidays from Monterey Mexico. She has extremely curly, frizzy out of control hair. All of us girls know what its like to be 15...Not Easy! Trying to fit in, keeping up with the trends, trying to grow into a young lady, while all of these changes are going on throughout your mind and body! Well when Kimberly saw me she told me that her dream would be to have straight hair! I was with her practically every day while she was out hear and she would wake up early to blowdry and flat iron her hair to try and tame down her curls. I analyzed her hair and figured that the japanese straightening system would be the best solution for her and her hair type. Two days before she left she asked me if I would do her hair, and I said of course!<br /> I had little time, the only day I could do it would be New Years Day, but i thought what better way to begin my new year then to start helping those that i love. So hangover and all my favorite co-worker, robin and I opened the salon and did the 5 hour process leaving Kimberly's hair permanently straight and her heart permanently happy! <br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGz8SY2XcI/AAAAAAAAANo/2oMb8zoupC0/s1600-h/kim+before+2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGz8SY2XcI/AAAAAAAAANo/2oMb8zoupC0/s400/kim+before+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287705285819260354" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGz8R_e-nI/AAAAAAAAANg/ldn6wZcm-pM/s1600-h/kimmy+before.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGz8R_e-nI/AAAAAAAAANg/ldn6wZcm-pM/s400/kimmy+before.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287705285712870002" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGz7-QDwyI/AAAAAAAAANY/BPS_V49DNBc/s1600-h/kimmy+after+1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGz7-QDwyI/AAAAAAAAANY/BPS_V49DNBc/s400/kimmy+after+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287705280413680418" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGz7sR0B9I/AAAAAAAAANQ/G3_mkDSK-L4/s1600-h/kimmy+after.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGz7sR0B9I/AAAAAAAAANQ/G3_mkDSK-L4/s400/kimmy+after.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287705275589199826" /></a>Lauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-9244035907691224972009-01-04T22:33:00.001-08:002009-01-04T22:48:44.309-08:00A Happy Girl for a Happy New YearOne of the best parts about my profession is being able to work on people like this! For those of you who know Anely, know that not a minute goes by without laughter, and you cant help to be all smiles while with her!...Hence Robin's nickname for her "smily"! I was delighted when Anely asked me to get her ready for her annual big Cuban Clan New Years party. She wanted 50's style hair with my spin on it, and sexy makeup! I ended 2008 with laughter and joy thanks to this girl! Here are some pics she sent me, enjoy!<br /><br />before...<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGs8U7QmrI/AAAAAAAAANI/H1cWWJLGPdo/s1600-h/anely+before.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGs8U7QmrI/AAAAAAAAANI/H1cWWJLGPdo/s400/anely+before.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287697589919062706" /></a><br /><br />after<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGs8Z_R1NI/AAAAAAAAANA/ZdRyWQzlJh4/s1600-h/anely+after.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 303px; height: 249px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGs8Z_R1NI/AAAAAAAAANA/ZdRyWQzlJh4/s400/anely+after.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287697591278097618" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGs8KFXA5I/AAAAAAAAAM4/rTdN-3Y1K10/s1600-h/anely+2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGs8KFXA5I/AAAAAAAAAM4/rTdN-3Y1K10/s400/anely+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287697587008635794" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGs775v4oI/AAAAAAAAAMw/xGojxIdVKOw/s1600-h/anely+3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SWGs775v4oI/AAAAAAAAAMw/xGojxIdVKOw/s400/anely+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287697583201837698" /></a>Lauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-60638198896827919912008-12-17T12:19:00.000-08:002008-12-17T12:34:55.031-08:00Evette...Mommy to beI met Evette several years ago through my sister... Ive known her through her college years, then she got married, and now she is pregnant!....and almost due! I was so excited to get to see her so close to her due date, and actually see that she is human and that her belly did grow to a normal size, cuz for those of you who know her she is the fittest of fit! Evette even pregnant is just gorgeous! She has this calming energy to her and a very peaceful way about her! I think the setting and look of the entire shoot was really her! I wanted to keep her as natural as possible because of the type of shoot we were doing...so i waved her hair with a smoothing iron, and really glossed it up to give it a lot of shine. I didnt do a lot of teasing because I dodnt want any height really, i just wanted to keep it like her but with a lil something. As for the makeup, Evette is usually very natural, and doesnt wear too much makeup, so it wouldt fit her or the type of shoot if I would have done anything too heavy. I stayed in neutral palletes of cremes, tans and browns, lining just the corner of her eyes to give them a little depth for the camera. As for the skin she has a gorgeous tan color so i just highlighted and contoured in the eye and cheekbone area to give her some definition! Lastly the lips were just a golden pink hue by lancomes juicy tubes...love the color selections of those, but not so much the taste :) Here are her pics by Alicia The Moderntype<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUlhmsDdYkI/AAAAAAAAALQ/yEYrLcs4Org/s1600-h/ehohman-5.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUlhmsDdYkI/AAAAAAAAALQ/yEYrLcs4Org/s400/ehohman-5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280859355357209154" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUlhmUHJGDI/AAAAAAAAALI/_Lh4Trno2v0/s1600-h/ehohman-7.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUlhmUHJGDI/AAAAAAAAALI/_Lh4Trno2v0/s400/ehohman-7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280859348930205746" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUlhlmz0PwI/AAAAAAAAALA/fRCIVW_4wNU/s1600-h/ehohman-3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUlhlmz0PwI/AAAAAAAAALA/fRCIVW_4wNU/s400/ehohman-3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280859336769552130" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUlhlaVNfRI/AAAAAAAAAK4/45G1tOlp1ac/s1600-h/ehohman-1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUlhlaVNfRI/AAAAAAAAAK4/45G1tOlp1ac/s400/ehohman-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280859333419957522" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUlhkmlQq2I/AAAAAAAAAKw/hSUxzPbGQL8/s1600-h/ehohman-2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUlhkmlQq2I/AAAAAAAAAKw/hSUxzPbGQL8/s400/ehohman-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280859319528631138" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUliFgLppCI/AAAAAAAAAL4/lQuufpJgB78/s1600-h/ehohman-4.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUliFgLppCI/AAAAAAAAAL4/lQuufpJgB78/s400/ehohman-4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280859884746286114" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUliFs_pYJI/AAAAAAAAALw/MMRdb9u126g/s1600-h/ehohman-6.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUliFs_pYJI/AAAAAAAAALw/MMRdb9u126g/s400/ehohman-6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280859888185598098" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUliFXqUMzI/AAAAAAAAALo/RoglZmMzTMU/s1600-h/ehohman-9.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUliFXqUMzI/AAAAAAAAALo/RoglZmMzTMU/s400/ehohman-9.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280859882458985266" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUliFPI3-0I/AAAAAAAAALg/FnUJipBfi2s/s1600-h/ehohman-10.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUliFPI3-0I/AAAAAAAAALg/FnUJipBfi2s/s400/ehohman-10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280859880171240258" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUliE74KgKI/AAAAAAAAALY/riCsVlSLC6Y/s1600-h/ehohman-12.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUliE74KgKI/AAAAAAAAALY/riCsVlSLC6Y/s400/ehohman-12.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280859875000877218" /></a>Lauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-62046667137096795032008-12-16T10:01:00.000-08:002008-12-16T10:19:05.427-08:00Time for Shine<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUfwWInrwRI/AAAAAAAAAKY/Q-pejP8A6f4/s1600-h/edmonds.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUfwWInrwRI/AAAAAAAAAKY/Q-pejP8A6f4/s400/edmonds.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280453351176913170" /></a><br /><br />A lot of people always ask me what is your favorite product? and my answer has been PM Shines since the very first time I used it! All of my closest family and friends are in on it, so I thought I should let all of you in on one of my best kept secrets! <br /><br />What is it?<br /><br />PM SHINES™ translucent hydrating color is a deposit only, ammonia-free demi-permanent hair color. It consists of 27 intermixable colors and a Clear Shine, which can be mixed with the total color palette to create a multitude of colors. PM SHINES™ have been developed with an exclusive Intense Hydrating Complex (IHC) that penetrates deep into the hair shaft to intensely hydrate and help replenish amino acids lost during the coloring process. <br /><br />Why do I love it?<br /><br /> it's easy, quick, and simply amazing* PM SHINES are easy to use, delivering true to tone, long-lasting, healthy looking hair color with exceptional shine and condition.<br /><br />It's called PM Shines for a reason<br /> <br /> The gentle formula coupled with a unique conditioning agent derived from Meadowfoam Seed penetrates into the hair shaft to help repair damage and intensify surface shine. I don't know of any other color line that can produce this much shine!<br /><br />There's more to it than just shine<br /> <br /> HYDRATING and CONDITIONING: IHC (Intense Hydrating Complex) penetrates deep into the hair shaft, intensely hydrating while helping replace lost amino acids<br /><br /> LONG-LASTING: An ammonia-free formula imparts less structural damage to the hair providing a smoother, healthier surface. UV absorbers help reduce environmental damage and keep color from fading. <br />For those of you who want more info...<br /><br /> SOY PROTEIN: helps replenish amino acids that are lost during the coloring process. Adds strength, improves manageability, provides shine and enhances hair texture.<br /><br />For those of you who want to know more...<br /><br /> PM SHINES are grouped into eight different tonal bases and one clear base. Within most of the tonal bases, there are three categories of color to choose form: Light-level 9, Medium-level 6 and Dark-levels 3-1. PM SHINES™ is mixed with a designated Processing Liquid that provides precise tone and deposit. PM SHINES™ will last up to 4-6 weeks and will fade on tone.<br /><br />GIVE YOUR HAIR A TREAT WITH NEW PM SHINES™<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUfw_Ar0mPI/AAAAAAAAAKo/-4AyGZwxXt0/s1600-h/Sept_266_pm-shines_orig_large.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SUfw_Ar0mPI/AAAAAAAAAKo/-4AyGZwxXt0/s400/Sept_266_pm-shines_orig_large.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280454053421422834" /></a>Lauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-48894823182728452282008-11-20T23:39:00.000-08:002008-11-21T23:21:46.346-08:00Amber Cont...with photos by themoderntypeAlicia was able to take some quick but great shots of Amber once she was already dressed, and there was no way these lovely pics of Amber were not gonna get posted!

I think Erica's fiance's heart is going to skip a few beats when he receives these photos the morning of there wedding day! I have known Erica since highschool, and now get to help her with all her Wedding Fun! I am so happy for her & so excited to work with her* She is a gorgeous, exotic girl with a bit of an edge! We drove down to Fallbrook Ca. yesterday to her Wedding venue to do her boudoir shoot. I had so much fun with Erica and her two bridesmaids as we helped her throughout the shoot. Erica did about six wardrobe changes within two hours! She was so comfortabe in her skin that the confidence just comes through in these hot pictures taken by Shadow Catcher Imagery. Erica performed like a pro... here are just a few that we have thus far!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSH0y1iuo6I/AAAAAAAAAJg/j18ZQAz1omI/s1600-h/E_B004.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSH0y1iuo6I/AAAAAAAAAJg/j18ZQAz1omI/s400/E_B004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269762193203569570" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSH0ypmXpeI/AAAAAAAAAJY/MpfJBAFPqUQ/s1600-h/E_B003.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSH0ypmXpeI/AAAAAAAAAJY/MpfJBAFPqUQ/s400/E_B003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269762189997614562" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSH0yl4NoaI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/o7a7CVH8fKM/s1600-h/E_B001.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSH0yl4NoaI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/o7a7CVH8fKM/s400/E_B001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269762188998713762" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSH0IRFgPeI/AAAAAAAAAJI/py9L6hl2XK8/s1600-h/E_B008.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSH0IRFgPeI/AAAAAAAAAJI/py9L6hl2XK8/s400/E_B008.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269761461862809058" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSH0IGgPBLI/AAAAAAAAAJA/ebDG1f9SiW0/s1600-h/E_B007.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSH0IGgPBLI/AAAAAAAAAJA/ebDG1f9SiW0/s400/E_B007.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269761459022136498" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSH0H6IOMLI/AAAAAAAAAI4/PiqPD48Cqdk/s1600-h/E_B005.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSH0H6IOMLI/AAAAAAAAAI4/PiqPD48Cqdk/s400/E_B005.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269761455700193458" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSH0Hw-we2I/AAAAAAAAAIw/C9gZymm29go/s1600-h/E_B006.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSH0Hw-we2I/AAAAAAAAAIw/C9gZymm29go/s400/E_B006.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269761453244578658" /></a>Lauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-70422763864195376752008-11-17T11:02:00.000-08:002008-11-17T14:22:20.215-08:00katherine's First Homecoming*It was my delight to be able to work on this little diva for her very first homecoming! You can see in these pictures that little in size she is but NOT the least in spirit...this girl is not only fun and loving but her energy, spunk, and love for life is what makes her remarkable! I wanted to bring out her personality even more with her hair and makeup so i chose bright magenta and deep rouges for her color pallette which complimented her retro chic dress! As for her hair I prepped it with curls and through bits to the side giving her slight volume at the top with two flowers cascading across the low center, keeping it loose and fun like her!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSHsgKvQpqI/AAAAAAAAAIo/5YxKMhA8WkI/s1600-h/l_573c4092c38d44c5bb8b1922aa7079a2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

I love being able to do young girls for these occassions because I remember how much fun I had getting ready for these dances...actually I think i had more fun getting ready for the dances then the actual dances themselves! In spite of the crazy fires the dance went on... and so did the prepping! We had to change some accomodations and move the getting ready from the salon to a home where we had electricity, but everything turned out wonderful & Amber looked gorgeous check her out!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG8dtIg6gI/AAAAAAAAAFI/cBDL-D2T7YM/s1600-h/amber.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG8dtIg6gI/AAAAAAAAAFI/cBDL-D2T7YM/s400/amber.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269700257517726210" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG-_Bqi2eI/AAAAAAAAAFw/Gjj1kvmhVjM/s1600-h/get-attachment.aspx.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG-_Bqi2eI/AAAAAAAAAFw/Gjj1kvmhVjM/s400/get-attachment.aspx.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269703028988107234" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG7tNIXzSI/AAAAAAAAAFA/6GtnGpF7uDo/s1600-h/get-attachment-6.aspx.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG7tNIXzSI/AAAAAAAAAFA/6GtnGpF7uDo/s400/get-attachment-6.aspx.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269699424293473570" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG8diqw8VI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/2cvA7noD_wc/s1600-h/get-attachment-1.aspx.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG8diqw8VI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/2cvA7noD_wc/s400/get-attachment-1.aspx.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269700254708592978" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG8d5fWx3I/AAAAAAAAAFY/SWyiV6kyb0o/s1600-h/doing+the+do.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG8d5fWx3I/AAAAAAAAAFY/SWyiV6kyb0o/s400/doing+the+do.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269700260834756466" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG8d1LDfPI/AAAAAAAAAFg/xGiKJ4ePtrM/s1600-h/get-attachment.aspx.jpeg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG8d1LDfPI/AAAAAAAAAFg/xGiKJ4ePtrM/s400/get-attachment.aspx.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269700259675864306" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG7s0V9KKI/AAAAAAAAAE4/CPDORFZghGc/s1600-h/get-attachment-5.aspx.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG7s0V9KKI/AAAAAAAAAE4/CPDORFZghGc/s400/get-attachment-5.aspx.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269699417639561378" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG7snjRsyI/AAAAAAAAAEw/ux4wUP8TZXk/s1600-h/get-attachment-4.aspx.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG7snjRsyI/AAAAAAAAAEw/ux4wUP8TZXk/s400/get-attachment-4.aspx.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269699414205772578" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG7sSq89QI/AAAAAAAAAEg/JvhkRPKqwhk/s1600-h/get-attachment-2.aspx.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SSG7sSq89QI/AAAAAAAAAEg/JvhkRPKqwhk/s400/get-attachment-2.aspx.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269699408600823042" /></a>Lauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-28645684427023620092008-11-13T18:13:00.000-08:002008-11-13T18:26:14.146-08:00Alicia "themoderntype.com"<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzhvhIHgQI/AAAAAAAAAEY/SlJPja2NqPs/s1600-h/l_7c3042aebb8b1c4f2c28ca256ab42be9.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzhvhIHgQI/AAAAAAAAAEY/SlJPja2NqPs/s400/l_7c3042aebb8b1c4f2c28ca256ab42be9.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268333870579155202" /></a><br />I have to start my new posts by saying thank you to Miss Alicia for setting up this blog for me! I am so excited to start putting up my work, special promotions, and just fun trends that I might be cutting & coloring! I have been working with Alicia for a while now; and I am so excited that she is doing photography! She is an extremely talented graphic designer, and an amazing photographer. Her combination of both expertise is what really makes these pictures priceless! Every shoot that she works on just get better and better* She has so many ideas, driven passion, and most importantly professional! I love working with her & am so excited to see her grow! I will be posting her photos on my blog as we continue to collaborate. Don't miss out on anything this girls doing check her out on www.themoderntypeblog.com!Lauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-25335181789733660042008-11-13T17:53:00.000-08:002008-11-13T18:10:26.455-08:00StefLittle Miss Stefanie was also shot by Alicia (themoderntypeblog.com)! Stef was such an amazing model for this traditional, yet not so traditional boudoir shoot. Some of these shots are usually what one expects of these shoots; however stef was so fun that her personality comes through the camera in many of these pictures! I really loved the was Alicia pushed the boundaries once again and took some shots in different settings utilizing the balcony and shabby chic chair! If you are looking for a photographer who knows different, likes different, and makes you look classy...Alicia is who I would recommend! I personally have gotten to work with a few photographers over the past year and think Alicia has a creative eye which brings the best out of the model and the shoot itself. It is always a pleasure doing hair and makeup for her because of how she brings out the best in people with her camera.

It's simple some quick extensions did the trick giving her slightly a little more length so that she can have some curl and body as well. As for her makeup, I opted for mauve, pink, lavendar and fusia tones which enhance brown eyes bringing out all the green hues! we wanted sexy but not trashy; and I think that was achieved because we stayed away from black! Its important for girls to know what colors bring out the eye and what colors draw them in! Since some of the pictures were going to be in color I wanted to make sure that we kept tones vibrant and not flat!Lauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-75338914726234260422008-11-13T17:36:00.000-08:002008-11-13T17:53:33.852-08:00RachellePhotographer Alicia Landin from (themoderntypeblog.com) took Rachelle out of her realm and into an outdoor boudoir shoot! Rachelle did a great job portraying sexiness in a tasteful manner! I think alicia did a wonderful job making her feel comfortable and getting sexy shots without looking to promiscuous! as for the hair and makeup for this shoot I wanted to bring out a sexy side of Rach so i smoked up her eyes, slightly "cat eyeing" the corners staying in the neutral tones of brown, which ranged from golds and beiges to smoky charcoals. These colors are a great selection for tan skin tones and light eyes! they complement and enhance tan skins and amber eyes like rachelle's without making her look overdone. As for the hair... every woman of asian, oriental, pacific islander descent who never thought they could get there hair to curl...Rachelle is proof that this is not so! With the right tools, product and technique anything is possible* These curls not only lasted the shoot, but last up to three days or until the next wash! I wanted to curl Rachelle's hair to make her feel different & try and get her into character of soft & sexy for the Shoot! Thanks to Rachelle & the very talented Alicia Landin for this successful shoot!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZtM3rMjI/AAAAAAAAAC4/6qwXKZCldi0/s1600-h/rach03.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZtM3rMjI/AAAAAAAAAC4/6qwXKZCldi0/s400/rach03.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268325034688721458" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZs8bZdDI/AAAAAAAAACw/npfWMePXt2I/s1600-h/rach10.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZs8bZdDI/AAAAAAAAACw/npfWMePXt2I/s400/rach10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268325030275150898" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZsUqMuwI/AAAAAAAAACo/hKVoGH91pno/s1600-h/rach09.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 297px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZsUqMuwI/AAAAAAAAACo/hKVoGH91pno/s400/rach09.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268325019599813378" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZsWW9DVI/AAAAAAAAACg/YXzHk6YvwLU/s1600-h/rach08.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZsWW9DVI/AAAAAAAAACg/YXzHk6YvwLU/s400/rach08.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268325020055965010" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZZrAQWyI/AAAAAAAAACY/-6LKtjTuNek/s1600-h/rach07.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZZrAQWyI/AAAAAAAAACY/-6LKtjTuNek/s400/rach07.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268324699180391202" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZZdU7JeI/AAAAAAAAACQ/D0oecMMzWCo/s1600-h/rach06.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZZdU7JeI/AAAAAAAAACQ/D0oecMMzWCo/s400/rach06.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268324695508985314" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZZAPYq6I/AAAAAAAAACI/TrTKHqhGzvY/s1600-h/rach01.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 297px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZZAPYq6I/AAAAAAAAACI/TrTKHqhGzvY/s400/rach01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268324687701126050" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZYquLgmI/AAAAAAAAACA/-CY77f08ov8/s1600-h/rach02.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZYquLgmI/AAAAAAAAACA/-CY77f08ov8/s400/rach02.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268324681924706914" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZYQA-rfI/AAAAAAAAAB4/kcmw62uRlU4/s1600-h/rach04.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4SabalWD84/SRzZYQA-rfI/AAAAAAAAAB4/kcmw62uRlU4/s400/rach04.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268324674755800562" /></a>Lauren Manzanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03120831822588575038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552682066961854274.post-43400681680306476642008-10-31T16:00:00.000-07:002008-10-31T16:08:30.802-07:00A destination brideOver the summer I had the pleasure of accompanying Vanessa at her wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico.
