Desert Contrast Photo Shoot

It's June in Arizona - which means it's hot. This is my first full summer in Arizona and I was shocked at how stinkin' hot it was at 5 AM when I left the house yesterday! Thankfully, everyone was prepared for the heat with lots of water!

This shoot was the first time I met my client, LaShelle, and the photographer, Scott, in person. I love meetings like this though - the excitement of the day's photoshoot makes for a great atmosphere and high energy introductions.

LaShelle was so much fun and the Scott and his wife were absolutely fantastic! It was hot, we were in the sun - but we got some very wonderful photos. Major kudos to all involved for sticking with the hot summer sun and working so hard in it!

Photo Shoot: Kae

I absolutely love this girl! Kae is a dear and sweet friend and I had so much fun on this shoot with her! She is a ball of energy, sweetness & silliness!

Here are a few photos from our fun outing together!

Sneak Peak: Sara

Guess who got in FRONT of the camera...?

This girl!

Don't worry that actual photos are mo-betta!

Jamie & Caity

     I had the pleasure of working with Jamie, Caity and Dave Kelley Photography a couple weeks ago and it was definitely fun. It never ceases to amaze me how makeup can completely transform a face. When Caity came I had to ask her how old she was because she looked so young - with a little bit of eyeliner and contouring, she definitely looks more her age. But man, she's gonna be so lucky when people think she's 20 when she's in her 30s - I hope I'm lucky enough to have that problem!!
     These girls were a lot of fun, definitely not a dull moment with them and I can't wait to work with them again!

Balloon Couture: Marie Dadow

     Hello Arizona! I have been in this amazingly hot state for about a week now and have had the wonderful priviledge of being able to collaborate with Marie Dadow, the lead designer in Balloon Couture on this very fun photo shoot. Below are photos of 3 of the 4 dresses Marie designed entirely out of balloons, as well as photos of the beauties Selena and Parry.

Relocation & Flavia B.

     August 19, 2011 marked the last day of local California work. Makeup by Sara Colello will be relocating to Phoenix, Arizona and its surrounding areas. So what better way than to end it on a photoshoot with a beautiful model from Romania, Flavia. It was a beautiful evening in a part of Irvine I have never encountered before, and I am thankful. My sister joined me to get a taste of what my work is like; when we entered the studio it was beautiful. A room of wardrobe, an area for makeup, and the lights on the backdrop set the tone for the shoot. Flavia arrived and was ready to go; it was a light hearted shoot with lots of laughs exchanged behind the scenes. It was a great pleasure working with her and the photographer, Kin Vong; a perfect way to spend my last local Cali shoot.

   

Laguna Photo Shoot

       It was a beautiful, slightly chilly afternoon down by the beach. The rocky steps led down to a large, weathered tree which had obviously been visited many times by the looks of the marks on it's trunk. Leaves littered the ground providing the feel of autumn in the middle of the summer. Further down the rocky steps there let out a beautiful view of the ocean in the distance, while bushes, plants, and "weeds" grew wild - a perfect scene for an outdoor shoot. Walk down the pathway to the left, and you find a house in the background and some more trees, some brush, and a wrought iron gate. Follow the path down and you hit the beach just as the sun starts to set - painting the sky and leaving for a gorgeous photo opportunity.
      The photoshoot was last minute; I received a message around 2:30PM and was getting the models ready around 3:00PM for a 5:00PM shoot. I was blessed to have received some great lessons through this experience and I look forward to more opportunities to apply these lessons in the future. I also have a new found respect for photographers, their art, dedication, and passion.

     I have worked with Beth a number of times. She is always such a joy; very sweet & genuine. Here are a few photos from her most recent photo shoot.

Tropical Sunset: Sarah S.

For the past 6 months or so I have been mainly doing night out or dance make up, so when I had the opportunity to collaborate with Erin Kaye Photography and Sarah S. on a photo shoot I jumped at it. Sarah was such a blast to work with; up for anything and hilarious - there was not a dull moment working with her.
