Last weekend I shot with photographer, Bennet Cobliner. Look 1 was focused on sleek, clean hair while the second focused on lips. Hairstylist Vanessa Almazan did an amazing job keeping the hair uniform. You would think photographing “straight sleek” hair would be easy right? Well IT AIN’T! When something has to be perfectly pristine – aka straight and even and can I also add – um, EVEN, that is hard. (straight, untextured hair moves… and any subtle movement… = MOVES).  You can tell when something is out of line or when there are gaps in the hair when you’re trying to do this kind of look. You can’t tell where the error is for wavy and curly hair- so if you screw up, on curls or waves, it’s okay, no one will really notice (haha I’m just kidding, always be attentive to detail). But seriously, waves and curls have more hold and can be molded easier.

Michelle Xavier was our Muse for the day. She is represented by Wilhelmena and is from Brazil. (Boys, I know what you’re thinking, UGH EXOTIC. No kidding. Aren’t all Brazilians? What a doll to work with though! She has just the sweetest personality and boy would I love to go out and dance with this girl!
