Kroger and Smith's Breast Cancer Campaign



I met Diane when I did her makeup for a photoshoot for Smith's and Kroger's Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. She was so kind and honest as she shared how her life has changed since she had cancer. I love my job because I often get to meet amazing, everyday heroes.

Diane's picture became a lifesize cardboard cut out displayed the month of October in
177 Smith's stores.

Also got to work with photographer Charlie Ehlert of Redwell Imaging. He was so upbeat and excited for the project, a pleasure to work with.

"I knew her when..."

I got to do makeup and hair for three tall, very thin young ladies who are headed for a big modeling agency in New York, DNA. Erin Olsen called on my services and I jumped at the chance to work with her, she is former model, current fashion stylist, photographer,
and now has an agency herself, Echo.
The girls were very sweet and made my job very easy by being so beautiful. It will be so fun to see where they go from here and say "I knew her when..."

Jenny Oaks Baker & Silverscreen Serenade

I had the funnest day at work I have ever had when I got to work with Jenny Oaks Baker. I am amazed I got paid to listen to beautiful music all day.
I was hired by Travis from Kineto Pictures to do hair and makeup for Jenny Oaks Baker. They were filming Jenny, as lead violinist, with an orchestra on stage for Jenny's album, Silverscreen Serenade. We taped the show twice for with two types of camera work, the second taping had a live audience. The finished product will be shown on BYU-TV.
Jenny had eight pieces of music, eight gown changes, eight hair changes plus jewelry, shoes, makeup touchups and changes. It was basically a live tv format, so everything was done quickly and with a second taping, hair and all had to have continuity.
Jenny was delightful and so beautiful. Her music was exquisite.


Dale Cougar Armstrong & Wired Sculpture


I have had the opportunity to work several times with the Wired Sculpture team and the one and only Dale Cougar Armstrong. She is a legend in the field of wired jewelry and her creations are exquisite.
Dale is co-creating a series of "how-to" DVDs with Wired Sculpture and I have done her makeup and styling for these shoots. She is a lovely woman and such a hard worker. Dale is a true inspiration to all women who have a dream.

Dave Lennox Shoot


I worked on a shoot for Lennox Heating and Air systems with the delightful Dave Lennox. The crew from Penguin Productions was so great to work with, there was no shortage of comic relief. Local Lennox dealers came in to shoot commercial spots with Dave (whose real name is actually Bob- but when he is so convincing and has worked as Dave for so long- he just IS Dave Lennox).... Nice people, nice day at work!

Hoopes Vision Shoot


Got swept off my feet by the Utah Jazz mascot, Bear, today when he was on a commercial shoot for Hoopes Vision. Bear was hilarious as he mimed and Allan "translated" for him. I also made up Robin Fraser, assistant coach of Real Salt Lake, and "Big Rog" from The Blaze. Each person has had eye surgeries performed at Hoopes Vision. It was fun!

"The Rich Factor"

I had the oppportunity to work on a shoot for a book called"The Rich Factor" by Scott Bell. Scott was interviewed by Christopher Knight (aka Peter Brady of the Brady Bunch). Christopher was very kind and professional, I enjoyed our conversation while I did his makeup. It was my first time working with the director, Chris Jensen, he was so pleasant and set a great tone on set. I love my work, I get to meet so many different people.

TNT NBA Playoffs

I got a call from TNT to makeup the broadcasters, Marv Albert and Reggie Miller, for the Jazz vs. Lakers game on April 26th in Salt Lake City. It was a fun evening and Marv and Reggie were very kind. My husband was rather jealous that:
1. I was at the game and he wasn't
2. I met and chatted with Reggie Miller, as my husband is a fan.
3. The green room where I was working was a "Who's Who" among the NBA.
Great evening of work!

Picabo Street

Picabo Street hosts a show called "Women of Winter" for Resort Sports Network. We shot on a freezing day in Park City, Utah. Picabo was so gracious and high energy. I had a wonderful time meeting her and doing her makeup. She is an amazing athlete and person.

Stephenie Meyer

I had the opportunity to do makeup for Stephenie Meyer for her media appearances in Utah. As a Twilight fan it was very exciting! Stephenie and her publicist, Elizabeth, were very kind. Stephenie is so down to earth for practically having rock star status.

Today's Mama Rachael Herrscher


Rachael Herrscher, the founder of todaysmama.com, is being recognized by a Utah business magazine as one of "30 Women To Watch". I got to do Rachael's makeup for her photoshoot for the magazine. It was delightful meeting Rachael and her family (including a six week old daughter) at their home. I am amazed at all Rachael has accomplished . Today's Mama is a great go-to site for women and mamas everywhere.
