Why does hair and makeup actually matter?!
And I think that's a GREAT question.

've talked a little about this before, but I remember when I was first starting out in this industry - things were not the same back then. I couldn't just email someone and ask them questions about photography. everyone was pretty stingy and hush-hush about their knowledge. Now everywhere you turn, you can read online tutorials, blogs, and there's even a couple free sites that host... View This Post >
