The talented gals from the Art Institute fashion program invited me out to their shoot at the Oregon Lavender Farm to help with makeup. In these pics models Sydney Babcock and Kate Troedsson are shot by Daniel Ellis styling by Jillian Rae Jewel and Samantha Lemieux and makeup by me. Jillian and Samantha wanted coral-peachy-pink eyes, lips and cheeks. I loved doing such sweet girly makeup. There's something nice about just pretty sometimes. And there's just something about spring...makes everything seem more light and hopeful. The farm is out toward Mt. Hood, so there we were out in this lush fragrant landscape with a huge beautiful mystical mountain as backdrop. With all this rain and gray this spring and last, I think it's quite necessary to soak up every last speck of vitamin D and roll around in as many lavender fields as possible.

On the topic of Mary Oliver, a couple lines from her that my friend Ryan sent me last night: "You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves." Indeed.
