Makeup by Christiane (and me)

As many of you know, I have been a regular beauty photographer for the past year and a half Chri Chri which is Christiane Schaumburg-Müller's online universe for girls, women, men, fashionistas, make-up artists, divorced parents, new parents etc etc. EVERYONE can join here…

I am very very proud of everything she and I have done together and love working with this beautiful woman and you have received our photos SO well over time.

This summer my phone rang - it was Christiane. She was putting the finishing touches on the planning of a beauty book about makeup and really wanted me to be the photographer on the project – if it was a job I wanted??… wait a minute…. I'll have to think about it... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! I would REALLY like that!! and I was very proud that she asked ME!

Over the summer, she and I have been in the studio making the beautiful pictures for the book... and it has been SO nice...! usually there is a whole team of people "on set" in a studio. Makeup, hair, clothes, etc. but because Christiane had to do all the make-up herself, it was just her and me... it was really just so relaxing and beautiful and really effective. We drank coffee, listened to music, sang along and just enjoyed making this little surprise….. But noooooooo it was hard not to BLOW out with the news…. but that's how it always is when you're REALLY looking forward to something good. Fortunately, she threw a lot of "sneak peaks" on Instagram along the way, so that you didn't explode????

FINALLY the book came out…. on the shelves for Christmas shopping... I LOVE IT...

I was so proud to see "my" book on the shelves in the shops, and to see people standing and looking at it.... when you're so proud, you really want to go and say HEY - IT'S ME WHO MADE IT, but I failed and then I left the place with a small smile and an excitement bubbling inside ????

XOXO
