Early October I was invited to come out to New York to shoot with Gretchen from Gertie's New Blog for Better Sewing. I had actually been a huge fan of hers (being a seamstress myself), and was delighted when I had to chance to do her hair when she visited Los Angeles the month before for the Dita Von Teese show.

New York with Vintage Patterns by Gertie

We shot Gretchen for her 5th sewing book at Shameless Photography in Brooklyn, NY. We stayed with fun, flirty vintage style!!!

Gretchen's main objective to her new book is fast and easy! I wanted the hairstyling & makeup to reflect that as well. We changed up the hairstyles with the flow of the dresses.

I typically start out with hair down and more casual looks and then transition to more advanced into evening. Here you can see that we began the day with hair down and went into a 1940s style victory roll style.

Day two I started with hair down, went into a faux bumper bang into a more 60's updo option.

Traveling for work has always been a dream of mine, so when I get to do it - it's a treat! Thank you Gretchen for having me! We are doing another shoot together in the new year! 2018 will get off to a great start.
