#360 ~ Well Rounded (A glimpse of Behind the Scenes of a Charlisha Renata Photography Session)

Happy 2013!!! To bring in the new year, I decided to give you all a glimpse of how I work behind the camera. On many of my shoots I do all the prepping from make-up to styling and sometimes hair. See, I have been blessed with gifts that God intended for me to use. For so long I tried to keep them locked away in hopes of not intimidating others or seeming like I was all over the place. That has hindered me. I can no longer hide my talents. There is so much you all have not seen from me and in 2013, I am unleashing the beast! The Lioness has slept long enough. BRACE YOURSELVES. :)

Ghouls & Gowns ~ A Halloween Vintage Fashion Show

So, it's been 2 years since I produced my first fashion show. Stylus was a success and I'm extremely excited about the show I'm co-producing with my business neighbor, Erica (TheTranzformer) Sanford. When I was interning for Skirt Magazine-Memphis, I was sent out to take press photos of a hair show. That was the first time I saw Erica's work and I was amazed! I witnessed her razor cutting someone hair on stage in about 2 minutes and it was fabulous. I knew she was ahead of the game here in Memphis. A few months ago, she moved her salon next door to my studio at 1331 Union Ave. Since our professions collide, we decided to do a show for Halloween to showcase her special effects make-up and super creative hairstyles along with my high end vintage collection. So this Sunday, October 28, 2012, we will present Ghouls & Gowns and I hope to see you there!

Location: 1331 Union Ave (garage rooftop)
Time: 6pm
