What are we up to?

2010-01-26T13:11:00.000-08:00

Well, I'm sure that a lot of you thought that I fell off the earth. I never left good ol' San Antonio and don't plan on it any time soon! My passion for my ever thriving business has lead me to stay here. I thank all of the clients that have made this dream come true for me and my family. Just want to wish everyone a Happy and Prosperous 2010. I'm looking forward to it! You may now book online with us by going through my website: www.themakeupmavenandco.com which makes it easier for all of us.

I will try to keep up now with the posts as I have missed it! God bless.....

Happy Birthday Nikki!

Just last month I did a shoot for MTV featuring Nikki Cain in her "Sweet Sixteen" debue. They are not saying when the show will be on but will keep us posted. It was a lot of fun being on the scenes...she looked beautiful!

These three lovely ladies were modeling some funky fashions for Fall which is featured in the October edition of City Pages magazine. Check our other fashion work I've done on: http://www.sacitypages.com/ .

Good News!

Well it looks like San Antonio will remain home for now. My husband is moving back! It is refreshing to have a man that can support your dream. Yeah! I look forward to spending many more years here making San Antonio girls prettier than ever. I now have a new associate that you will become familiar with. Suzie has been a great makeup artist for many years charming and dazzling her vast clientele including the sports anchors for Fox and ESPN networks. She does great airbrushed tanning which leaves you golden as opposed to "orange". Come and try it out before your next event! She will be working with me on a lot of fun weddings and projects in the future. Check out her website for more info: http://www.mistiquemakeup.com/

Here are a few more pictures from things I've been working on. And in case any of you are interested, we are doing boudoir shots together with Doug Jacobsen who has an amazing talent for taking the years off of your body and face. If he can turn me into a supermodel, on print, he can do it for anyone! LOL! Call me for prices on this package. They make good wedding gifts, valentines day and anniversary presents!

Thanks for checking back with us! Keep your comments coming!

Postponed moving for a year!

2008-04-08T08:07:00.000-07:00

That's right! Due to my dad's illness with cancer, I have decided to stay another 10 months in San Antonio. I am so excited about the following year...fiesta is due to kick off soon. Where does the time go? Please call me for rates and dates through January of 09.

Keep looking for upcoming portraits!!!!
Happy Fiesta!

Life offers many unexpected surprises...

2008-01-21T12:15:00.001-08:00

I can't believe it...I am moving to Orlando, Florida. My husband went out there to "hear" what this company had to offer and they go and hire him on the spot. Wow! I will miss San Antonio and my several friends, colleagues and acquaintances. It is hard to believe that I have been here for 14 years...Thank you to all of you that offered your advice and support. Without you, I wouldn't have been as successful as I am. I take your blessings and knowledge with me.

I welcome any weddings up until the 26th of July, 2008. If it should fall after this date, rest assured, I have a list of wonderful artists that are available. Just call me for their numbers.

Until then, we keep posting and doing what we do best...Cheers!

Just when you think it couldn't get any better...in walks Erica!

2007-12-24T08:36:00.000-08:00

Wow!

As pretty as she is, Erica is equally as nice and sweet. Her photographer, Alberto Vazquez (mpa multimedia) really had a way of capturing her inner "latina". I enjoyed working with her. She knew what she wanted and she got it. Chad of Versi did a great job on her hair as well, very classic! These are just a few of the gorgeous pictures taken during her bridal portrait session. I must say they didn't do justice to the ones from her wedding day. She had a beautiful glow that day, as did her new hubby. I wish you guys all the luck and happiness in the world...

Congratulations to Lauren!

2007-11-06T07:31:00.001-08:00

Marcus Revilla has such a cool way of capturing the emotion in his work. And like he said, put that and everything else into a blender and he comes out with these awesome pieces of art! Lauren's photos turned out really cool. Lauren turned into this beautiful classic bride. Her smile and her laughter are very contagious! I really enjoyed getting to know her. Good luck with your new future.

Check her out. I loved this so much, I decided to make it my new logo...

Learning new things everyday...

Hi Everyone,
Being that I am self taught in a lot of different things, I decided to create my own blogpage to share my work. I have been doing makeup for over 12 years now. It has been not only a wonderful career for me,it is my passion. Many people don't ever find out what their true calling in life is...I'm just blessed to have found mine.
I appreciate all of the photographers that have been so kind to forward me pictures after the weddings and portraits are over. You all make my work look great! And special thanks to all of you who had a hand in supporting my ambitions and my dreams...I know it wasn't easy to watch,but I finally did it!
I hope that you enjoy the posts as much as I do...take care!
Johanna

Look at Lindsay, isn't she gorgeous?!

2007-10-29T12:17:00.000-07:00

What can I say? Lindsay was beautiful from the moment she walked into the studio. By the time I was finished with her, she was one of the prettiest faces I've painted in a long time. Such flawlessness...

Sam's Amazing Wedding

2007-10-04T08:32:00.000-07:00

This was the wedding of the century! Her taste and eye for detail was amazing! Lime green and chocolate, what a cool combination. She also had a flare for meshing the old fashioned with the modern avant garde. Anyone who gets her as a wedding coordinator is a lucky bride. Her vision is undescribable...

I loved the pictures Anne Marie Photography took. They made the shots so urban with a fun, feminine and flirtatious kind of flare. Some of the shots of her and hubby Bryan were so romantic. They were such a dreamy couple. Good luck with your future and come visit when you are in San Antonio. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to work with you guys!
