Since 2006 · Tampa Bay & Chicago

Twenty years of work
with a paper trail.

Most beauty portfolios are a grid of pretty pictures with no client attached. Ours names the brands and the networks, because in production work the question is never whether the images look good — it is whether you have done this before, at this scale, with this much riding on the day.

Credits

Named, not implied.

Brands and networks whose productions we have staffed. We are deliberate about this list — it contains only work we actually did, which is why it is shorter than some and more useful than most.

  • American Girl  Brand
  • Radio Flyer  Brand
  • Nickelodeon  Network
  • CBS  Broadcast
  • WGN  Broadcast
  • Windy City Live  Broadcast
  • Judy Justice  Broadcast
  • Women's Health  Editorial

Additional Fortune 500 and agency work is covered by confidentiality and can be discussed directly. Certificates of insurance, W-9, and vendor onboarding paperwork are handled as a matter of course.

Disciplines

What we get booked for.

Six distinct disciplines, each with its own pace, standard, and failure mode. An artist who is excellent on a magazine set is not automatically the right call for a four-hundred-guest activation. Knowing that difference is most of what an agency is for.

Commercial & Advertising

Broadcast spots, digital campaigns, and branded content. A key artist owns the look and holds it across setups; additional artists keep the day on schedule. Continuity is the deliverable — face nine has to match face one, and hour eleven has to match hour one.

  • Key and additional artist staffing
  • Multi-day continuity
  • Grooming and beauty
  • Coverage through wrap

Corporate & Executive

Headshot days, executive portraits, keynote and panel prep, earnings and press readiness. The person in the chair is not a model and does not want to look made up. The work has to read as a good day, not as makeup.

  • Portrait days at volume
  • Speaker and keynote prep
  • Interview and press readiness
  • On-site studio setup

Editorial

Fashion and beauty editorial, lookbooks, magazine features. Concept-led work where the brief is a reference deck rather than a spec, and the artist is expected to contribute to the look rather than execute someone else's.

  • Concept development from references
  • Beauty and fashion editorial
  • Lookbook and campaign stills
  • Print and digital

Broadcast

On-air talent, anchor and contributor touch-ups, livestream, press conference and green room. Lighting is unforgiving and there is no second take, so the standard is different from print and the pace is different from set.

  • On-air and anchor beauty
  • Green room and press conference
  • Livestream and studio
  • Rapid turnaround between segments

Experiential & Brand Activation

Glam bars, pop-ups, product launches, convention booths, influencer events. Activation beauty is a throughput problem as much as a beauty problem — a queue of guests, a public branded environment, and a clock.

  • Branded glam bars and booths
  • Product launches and pop-ups
  • Convention and trade show
  • Influencer and press events

Weddings & Private Events

The market we started in and still run at production standard. Sized to headcount, timed backward from first look, and staffed so the last person out of the chair is not the one holding up photographs.

  • Bridal parties at any size
  • Multi-location and destination
  • Timeline built with your planner
  • In-room on-location service

The Portfolio

Twenty-nine frames, eight kinds of day.

Filter by the kind of work you are actually booking. A bride and a festival activation are both hair and makeup and they have almost nothing else in common, so it is worth seeing the right ones.

How a day runs

The unglamorous part clients actually buy.

  1. 1 You tell us about the day. Or, if you do not have one yet, five things: date, location, call time, talent count, and what the footage is for. That is enough for a real number within one business day.
  2. 2 We staff to the schedule, not the budget. One artist per three to four talent for first looks is the working rule. We will tell you when you need fewer artists than you think, which is more often than you would expect.
  3. 3 One point of contact on the floor. The key artist owns the look and answers to your producer. You are not coordinating four freelancers who have never met each other.
  4. 4 Contract first, itemised invoice after. Overtime, travel, and kit fees are stated in the estimate rather than discovered on the invoice. Procurement departments are the reason we work this way.
