1920's

Today's photoshoot was themed on the 1920's! Another fun shoot since I got to wear a black wig, pearls, and a white boa =). The above image, as well as all of them for this post, are of me! I got that flapper look going on, hehe.

Oh my! How naughty of me!

Playing with some beads.


Sporting a white boa with a black feather.

I decided to have a little more fun then what I already was.
I took the wig off and started playing with poses!

And then when the make up artist wasn't looking...I decided to smear the make up =).

Ah, let's smear the lip stick too!

This is one of my favorite images! A lot of playfulness!

Pucker Those Full Blown Roses!

Hello everyone! Another photo shoot has taken place at the Ortiz residence! We were able to gather a wider variety of models and really have fun with the poses! Martha Ortiz and Angela Quezada joins us again for make up design and photography. The above model gave as a lot of great shots! Angela gave her a heavy red lip to contrast against her silver/white eyeshadow.

Here is another one of this model. This time she is wearing a black top hat with the Black Bouquet earrings that are for purchase in the Pikithins shop!

Another model of ours! This is my personal favorite because she was very carefree in this shot! The green eye shadow and soft pink lips compliment her skin well. The flower was her idea =).

This time, she is outfitted in a green emerald scarf while wearing the Green Beaded Twist bracelet available for purchase in the Pikithins shop! She is also wearing a dangling pair of Peridot earrings also in the shop for purchase!

This is one of my close friends! It was her first time modeling with us. The Cotton Candy bracelet (which is sold in the Pikithins shop) was the inspiration for the light and deep blue eyeshadow. The scarf adds a wintry feel to the image.

I love her laid back attitude in this shot!

Another one of my closest friends was able to join our shoot! The gold top and necklace was inspired by the gold shimmer make up Angela complimented on the model's skin. The small feather hat adds nice texture!

It is me! My mother made the collar! I got my sewing skills from her, haha. The glove and feather hat adds extra detail to the clothing design. Angela used copper eyeshadow and lips out of pure pigment she mixed herself! The patterned lime green scarf brings out the green shadow under the eyes.

Another favorite shot of mine! I am wearing the Frothy Seed earrings you can obtain in the Pikithins shop!

Make Up Photoshoot

I got to be apart of a photo shoot with my mother, Martha Ortiz, the photographer, and Angela Quezada, a make up artist who is also my relative. We got to experiment with different looks and styles to expand our experiences in handling a photo shoot. The first image you see above is one of our models! She's wearing a black dress and purple eyeshadow with a glossy lip. Most of the shots taken are head shots, since we wanted to focus on make up design =).

This is another model of ours. Those are my little pale hands fixing the positioning of her scarf, haha. Angela gave her white/silver eyeshadow with a heavy and glossy red lip.

Here is the result of one of this model's photo sessions! This is one of my favorite shots since we got to play around with scarfs and hair (No, the beauty mark on her face isn't real, although, it gives a nice touch!). The scarf defiantly adds texture and contrast to her smooth skin.

This model is my younger sister, Samantha. Angela dressed her with an Indie theme in mind. This pink Sari was the inspiration for pink eyeshadow, glitter, and long lashes. Her gleaming dark pink lips tie the whole look together!

Here is another one of my sister. You get to see more of the Sari here.

This is me getting ready for my shoot! My hair looks like a hot mess, but that gets fixed later =). I don't wear make up regularly, but I decided to let that go and have some fun.

Looks like I want to go to sleep, haha.

Here is one of my shots! We decided to add one of the bracelets from the Pikithins shop into the photo! It goes real well with the bold blue and brown eyeshadow. See those earrings? That is a new pair of earrings I'll be adding to the shop! You'll see them in about a week or two for sale.

Here is another shot with me wearing a different head dress. The soft pink lips lets the blues of the photo really pop! I really love this head dress (Maybe I'll steal it later, hehehe).
In all, it took all day to take thousands of photos, heh. We defiantly learned to pick up the pace so we can get all of our models in on time. We'll be better prepared for next time, but it defiantly was a fun experience =D. Hope you enjoyed this little peak at our photoshoot! We'll be doing another one next week!
