Vacation is over...

Time to get back to reality! 

Vacation was a blast and oh-so-necessary. I've recently confirmed just how important it is to take a break and treat yourself, even if it's just for a day :) 

That being said, It's time for me to get back on the blogging train! I've been gone for 10 whole days and now home for 4 without a single post. 

I apologize. 

This is an update post! 

Check out some of the exciting things that are happening/happened/soon to happen!

I went on Vacation: DUH

*The boyfriend and I*

And guess what? I didn't wear a stitch of makeup! My skin took a long break and enjoyed the natural elements of sand, clean air and salty ocean water :) 

But before Vacation...

I did some test shoots with Bryan Whitely.

I have also become an Associate in the bridal department of the fabulously talented makeup artist: Nika Vaughan. <--Click her name to see her work and my bridal work! It even includes a collaborative shoot we worked on. 

A big collaborative Bridal shoot I worked on in April was featured on Ruffled Blog. Here's a sneak peak of the 80's themed Wedding!

--Full shoot and vendor list can be found on the Ruffled Blog--

And my biggest project as of late... 

My newly updated and designed website! 

I had a great website before from my good friend Michael, but it was in Flash. I wanted to design and create a new HTML style site so people could view it with their phones. So here it is, the site I have BUILT and LAUNCHED myself!!

Last but certainly not least, I bought a bigger memory card for my camera. This is important because that means I can start filming! yay! Tutorials are so so close, so get ready! 

In the meantime, if you have any comments, suggestions, questions... Please feel free to leave them in the comments section. I'd love to hear what you'd love to learn! :)
