This one will be tough to narrow down. I love the fantastical feel of the images, and I’m proud of all of these. I handled concept/art direction/wardrobe, as well as my usual hair/makeup for this, so it has more of my hard work than usual.

SUCH a fun project. We don’t get much beachy weather, here in Portland. But when we do get it, it’s gorgeous!

Here’s a few Instagram shots from the Wide Awake lookbook. The lovely Sydney Babcock modeling, and Solestruck genious’ Shelley and Anna styling.
I love my job. I love the variety of it. One day, I might apply barely-there makeup for a video involving “real people.” The next day, I might find myself applying theatrical geometric eyeliner to an amazon wearing ten-inch heels, and a metallic shirt.
Recently, I got the opportunity to work with Solestruck. Solestruck has some of the most unique shoes I’ve ever seen, and Wide Awake was centered around shoes from a brand with a unique aesthetic, even for Solestruck!
The shoot was a blast! I’m so happy to share the finished lookbook with you. I’ll share a few behind the scenes pictures soon.

Especially when you live in the city, you learn to treasure chances to get out on location, and take advantage of new scenery. And it’s the details that make these images so charming. Shamrock, the horse, was astoundingly well behaved, and only drooled on one of Matt’s shirts during the shoot.

Hard to believe these were shot at the beginning of August. It feels like months ago. It’s so exciting finally seeing a project come together, though. I was stunned by the wardrobe, though it’s a style that I can’t say is a part of my personal style preferences. There’s certainly something to the effortlessly sexy J Crew style, though. Danielle, our model, has the most intense, sultry stare that completes it.

I’m loving the summery sun. You’d never know that this shoot lasted 2.5 hours, to see my sunburn. Even through heavy sunscreen, I burned pretty severely. It’s totally worth it, though, seeing the images. Samantha Lemieux is an amazing wardrobe stylist, and I look forward to seeing her venture into photography more. More images to come!

Just got the rest of the finished images from my springtime shoot with photographer Brittney McChristy, and model Inanna Hencke. I’ve got SO much work to do weeding them down!

More to come. Photography by Kelly Lindmeier.
I traveled way out to Estacada, to provide makeup/hair for this. Sara carries herself with a natural elegance, even surrounded by cows, and nature, and glowed against a backdrop of aged wood, wrought iron, and pale yellow flowers.
So much new work, nearly ready for display! I particularly enjoyed this story, featuring Bre Shank, and Kelsey Odenthal, photographed by Trevor Warren. Makeup and hair by myself, of course.
Much more to come! All images copyright Trevor Warren.
