Couple Portraits| Clayton & Mona Sneak Peek | Red Bluff Photography

Hey, Hey! Happy Tuesday!

So, even though I am no longer doing photography, I still get requests from family here and there.

And because its family, and not much pressure, I dont mind bustin' out the camera for a quick photo shoot here or there. I have actually done quite a few photo shoots for family members the last couple months. And because they are just adorable, I thought for old times sake it would be fun to share on my blog. So I have this one and a few others that I'm going to be sharing on the blog over the next month or so. Hopefully you enjoy!

This lovely couple here is my older sister, Mona, and her husband Clayton. ♥ She asked if I could take some new photos of her and her husband, because she has recently lost quite a bit of weight, and wanted to have some new photos to reflect her new self! You can see the just how far she has come in her own weight loss by checking out one of the last photo shoots I did for them here.

You can also find and follow Mona on Instagram and check out her NEW blog too.

 She is rockin' those boots, and that entire outfit too! Don't you think!?

Jeremiah 29:11 is Mona's favorite verse and it says: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Laughing... Cause its just a little awkward to be photographed kissing. haha

They are so adorable, though, dont you think!? :)

Much Love & Hugs,

Defined Glitter Eyes Pictorial

Hello sweet friends, and happy {Makeup} Monday to you!
I am so glad you are here, please be sure to link up your beauty posts below.
I love checking out beauty posts and meeting new beauty bloggers!
Plus ALL posts that link up will get pinned by me. So dont be shy, link your beauty posts up!! ♥

Ok, so for today's post I've got a picture tutorial for you on how to do a gorgeous defined glitter eye.
Recently I was shown a picture of a similar look and asked "can you show me how to do this!?"
So... Here is the How To!

First, all of these shadows were used with MBA Shadow Poxy, and can be found at My Beauty Addiction:
https://www.etsy.com/shop/MyBeautyAddiction
http://mybeautyaddiction.com/

The colors I used to create this look are:

Lela, Bronze, French Vanilla and Glitter in 'Crocus'

For look at the brushes I'm using check out my Eye Shadow Brush Guide here.

For a 'Live' look at this EOTD check out this quick 36 sec keek:

What really adds definition and makes your eyes POP with this look is the subtle bronze color on the crease. You can use any light/neutral brown shade for this, something that wont be so noticeable, just something to really define your eyes so that the glitter really stands out! The definition in the crease takes this EOTD from looking flat to fab!
