I did a shoot for my awesome hair salon, Paragon Hair Concepts, a few weeks ago, and it was such a great experience! Barb has been cutting my hair for a very long time…12 or 13 years now I think, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Not only does she do my hair, but also my mom’s, my younger sisters’, and a few of my old coworkers’ too.

Barb was looking to update the images they have showcased in the salon, and I can’t wait to see which ones they choose! I got to work with some fabulous models with the coolest hair and makeup…check them out for yourselves, and let me know your faves! Isn’t that green hair so cool? And the blue lipstick? And a 50’s style pin-up girl? Talk about a photographer’s dream!

A big thanks to Barb, her stylists and their models for such a great shoot. Each stylist cut, styled and/or colored the hair of their model, plus had a vision for their session. Jenine did all the very cool makeup (except for Jasmine, the first model shown here, who did her own makeup).

Ingrid was Jasmine’s stylist, and I love the combination of the soft pretty curls with the glamorous makeup:

Leanne styled this handsome young man’s hair (and somehow saying that makes me feel *really* old, even if it really means that I forgot his name! I’m going to blame that on the Pregnancy-makes-you-forget- everything-Syndrome):

And this is Val, who was styled by Sonya…whose green hair is so funky-fabulous. And those eyelashes are killer.

Barb was the stylist of this gorgeous model Amanda…and as soon as I saw that funky blue lipstick, I knew exactly where to take her:

Katelyn styled her sister Allison’s hair with these uber-cool braids and twists…such a stylish and fun look:


Angie had a total 50’s pin-up girl Judy vision for this model, and I love how perfectly the hair, makeup and outfit all worked together.
