Colorful Photo Shoot: Different Looks, Same Model.

Photographer:  Diana Zalucky
Model:  Michelle Smits
Wardrobe Stylist:  Lori Loftis
Hair and Makeup: Ana Rivera (Beaute Speciale)

There's nothing better than working with a phenomenal team of artists to produce something amazing!  Of course, we also had a beautiful canvas to work on!  We met our model, Michelle Smits, while working on several Disney wedding production shoots.  We instantly felt a connection with her.  She is not only a lovely person with a beautiful personality, but she has a great attitude about everything all of the time... must be her Wisconsin blood!  We never actually took notice of how pretty she was until we saw her on 10-10-10 running around with all the rest of us and we ran into her.  Her hair was usually pinned in one of her creative buns she wears to work all the time, but on this particular day her hair was beautifully blown out straight and long and we took notice!  In fact, so much that she was Laine's last minute fill in model for our Veronica Lake YouTube hair video (our original model cancelled).  Then when photographer, Diana Zalucky, said that her model cancelled for this photo shoot we found ourselves needing another model with a pretty face and great hair and Michelle was the first person that came into our mind... and she was perfect!

Believe it or not, this was her first time modeling for a photo shoot ever and she was a total natural!  I knew she could pull it off and create a beautiful shoot.  Her self confidence and elegance radiated through each photo every time.  We enjoyed working on her so much that she has become Beaute Speciale's muse!  She is so easy to work with and flexible to whatever makeup and hair ideas we have in mind without ever questioning us and whenever we needed her.  We love her face somuch that don't be surprised if you see her when our makeup line comes out!
