Carrie Purser Makeup and Hair Artisrty: February 2012

Sharing the Joy....

Many people ask me if I like being a makeup/hair artist. Normally I answer back with a quick "yes", but truthfully that doesn't really cover the half of it. I don't "like" my job, I LOVE IT! Why?...well if you were in my shoes you would know exactly what I meant.
Even though I'm a makeup/hair artist, I wear a variety of other hats in my life as a mother, daughter, sister, wife, artist, teacher, beauty expert and a business woman. All of these elements add a lot of flavor to the mix, so I just thought to myself "you've logged a lot of hours on this interesting journey of yours, so you might as well share the ride". So I am! That will be the only way for you to understand what I love about my profession and why I love living in the moment....

THE FUN OF MAKING HER FANCY...

I love when I find a model and a photographer who wants to just play. I came across a magazine feature of a model in different dresses, different hair styles, ect. It

prompted me to do just the same, create some images of something different, something a little more edgy and fun and what fun it was putting this shoot all together and creating some fabulous pictures with the talented photog Cathy Clayton behind the lens. I have to say I am ready to play and create again... (model Ashely Miller, Wedding dresses (Ashley's own) and Petal and Promises, Accessories Petals and Promises. Photography Cathy Wootton Clayton

FEATURED WEDDING: MY FAIR WEDDING with DAVID TUTERA~ SNOW WHITE BRIDE

Well another wonderful experience doing the makeup for another episode of My Fair Wedding with David Tutera ~Snow White Bride. Sno E (brides name) is beyond beautiful and I was so excited to work with her and her bridal party. Tara Fontana of Fairytale Hair & Makeup had a wonderful glam team that day and did we ever create some beautiful girls (although it wasnt hard to make these four girls more beautiful). Again, I have to give my gratitude to Tara! Photography by Chris Austin of White Haute Photography www.whitehautephotography.com

I loved how the photographer caught Sno E's smile when she saw her wedding day look for the first time.

An amazing dress for a very beautiful bride!

FEATURED WEDDING: MY FAIR WEDDING WITH DAVID TUTERA~LUAU BRIDE

What a great experience this was! To work with this beautiful bride for her wedding was truly an honor, but to have it be an episode for My Fair Wedding with David Tutera was even more of an honor. Everything was just amazing and truly exhibits the talents of most amazing David Tutera, but also the inner beauty Kristen (bride) reflects. She could not express enough gratitude for this opportunity.
All this would not have happened for me had I not been fortunate enough to work with Tara Fontana of Fairytale Hair and Makeup. I cant thank her enough for believing in me.
