Trash the Dress Photos

hair & makeup: Solina Som
photography: Marilyn Nakazato



When all your hard work has paid off on your wedding, what should you do with your wedding dress?? I say take one last dance in them with "Trash the Dress" photos! If you didn't get the chance to take those photos you wanted during your wedding, this is the best time to capture those moments with flair. By incorporating your own unique style, or what the photographer may have in mind, the photos taken then depict a genuinely intimate and memorable affair. That is what my cousin Joe & in-law; Makayla did with the amazingly talented photographer Marilyn Nakazato.  I decided to give Makayla a darker look since she went with a traditional look on her wedding day. I hope you will enjoy these photos as much as I do. Again, congrats to the happy and beautiful couple love you two!

Quinceanera

hair design: Solina Som

Here is Rosie. This day was a big milestone for her and I had the privilege to be a part of her Quinceanera.  Rosie had her makeup done at a salon located in South Gate, CA and I had the opportunity to do her hair. Since Rosie's hair was a little below her shoulders, adding 12" extensions allowed for extra room for creativity. Here are a couple of pictures I took while her Aunt was applying the final touches with her dress. Enjoy!

First blog of the night


photos & makeup: Solina Som



Here is one of my dear friends, Camille. Not only does she have natural beauty but her personality is as sweet as can be. I'm glad to have such a long time friend like her because she isn't bothered by my brushes in her face or what I want to do with her  and that's what I love about her!
