I walked in and saw Lauren. Wait, let me rephrase that… I walked in and saw Lauren, a gorgeous redhead with such mesmerizing eyes, I couldn’t stop staring. Her sisters and both mothers weren’t too shabby either. Great group of women, 2 wonderful families. Perfect start to the New Year.

Lauren had a photo of what she wanted.  She immediately said loving braids and mentioned the words “off to the side chignon”.  Ooooo… I knew we’d get along.  For her makeup we went all glam. Strong smokey eyes with faux lashes paired with red lips.

I can hear you think already… Smokey eyes AND red lips???… YES!!! Who ever said we can’t have both????  They complement each other beautifully. Especially if you’re Lauren.

We’ll  have to wait for studiojulie.com to see Lauren’s makeup.  Determined to get a least one decent shot of her hair (I got 2 yippie!)  I run out of time clicking away. For the record I don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to photography. I’d like to. Maybe in my next life.

I started the braid on the right side (pretty high up) curving around the head. I secured the end…

After creating a multi-section off to side bun, I incorporated and pined then end of the braid. Orchids and Baby’s Breath make such a pretty combo. I would have never thought of that.

Have a great day no mater where you are. I’m pulling a 2 week straight without a day off. Good problem to have. Now get to work. Ha!
