Body Painting

Hi Everyone!

We have been working on some pretty exciting shoots and I am super thrilled to share this one with you. I’ve had this strong desire for over a year now to photograph someone who has been body painted. I, however, have zero ability to paint even a stick figure so I knew I needed to recruit some help for this project. Jillian Gunlicks of Jillian Artistry was my go to gal for actually painting on the body. She is a fabulous artist who primarily does live wedding paintings as well as beautiful natural make up. I have always loved her work and really wanted her to be a part of this project.

The next thing I needed was a model. My first thought was to make this a maternity shoot and have Jillian paint on a belly bump. It just so happened one of my good friends, and Arbonne supplier, Alexa Oates was expecting. Alexa happily agreed to be our model and the shoot was set!

Check out the photos and let us know what you think. We are offering body paintings as an add on to any Senior Photo Shoot (with parent permission) and Maternity Shoots.
