Ice Cream Parlor shoot!




I decided to offer a unique 50's pinup Ice cream shoot at a discount! Instead of my $350 A session fee, you can take advantage of our theme shoot for $220!






We'll whipp out the ice cream, cakes, cookies, cupcakes, candy, cherries, strawberries, soda pop, juke box, countertops, stools, vintage radios nad have a blast shooting!
Its july 18th and your spot can be reserved here

Make your very own faux cakes and cupcakes!
I wanted some cute and colorful props to go with my
shoot theme that didnt spoil, so I can use them for other pinup
style shoots.
These are items you need:
Gloves (foam is super sticky)
newspaper
pie / cupcake / cake tins
Expansion foam
spackle
food color
spinkles, or faux sprinkles
cupcake papers


I found this recipe online as there are many ways to make faux cakes, this was super easy and fast for me, and came out extra cute! (yes the one cake blew up on me)

Spray the containers of tin and papers (or pie tin) with foam spray, 3/4 full. The foam expands a lot and needs 12 hours to cure. After curing you can use the spackle and mix a drop or two of food coloring, this makes a solid faux Icing. Then add your topping or sprinkles, you can get creative with clay, beads, real sprinkles, black/brown paint for chocolate sauce etc. They came out cute and finished product will be seen in the shoots photos!

Laurens orange hair, and shoot!

So we had lauren come to Salon Blush, where she had red and orangey spotty color hair, Honestly it was a mess. We fixed her up into a beautiful vibrant orange hue with golden hilights done by diane, and I loved it so much I asked her to come back to model for me. For the makeup I used:

Mac airbrush, yellow, and teal blue, and mixed yellow/red up an orange for the dots.
Pure Mica pigments in yellow, blue, and green on the eyes.
Gel eyeliner from elf in black
Mac caution lipstick
This is how the shoot and hair turned out! Fantastic! Thanks Lauren!
