Natural Light Studio Shots
Model - Shayna Laughman @shaynamarie
Isn't she GORGEOUS!? Shayna is always such a good model for me. She's natural, tall, funny and to top it off- sweet! This is the first time her and I were able to work together since I received the new camera. When discussing what we wanted to do for hair and makeup, Shay expressed her desire for a more natural (Calvin Klein) style. With that in mind, I kept makeup light and focused on the tan tones in her skin. Here is our final product and the breakdown of how we got it!
The Set Up:
Location : Paper Bag Beauty Studios, Las Vegas
Our set up for this shoot was actually in a doorway. Harold (my photography bestie) and I snapped away! I was loving the white backdrop and Shayna's position in front of our main doorway. The later hours of the day, 3pm- ish, brings the best light for this type of shoot.
The Camera:
Lens - Canon 70-200mm 2.8 L
The Makeup:
Makeup is a funny thing and to be truthful up until now I've had a more aggressive application style. It seems that a lot of the photos I love have natural components however are still very refined and clean. It's a balance that I strive to understand as much as I can each day. Below are the necessities you'll need to achieve this look.

Airbrush Compressor and Gun
Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops - Sunlight
Becca Pressed Shimmering Skin Perfector - Opal and Moonstone mixed around the face.
The Hair
The natural texture was retained in her hair. Ouai wave spray made some texture and separation for a cool "beachy" look !
