Commercial Shoot for John Elway's Crown Toyota

Photography by: Dean Wilder Photography

Toyota Auto Center in Ontario Photo shoot

Working with the staff of Toyota Auto Center in Ontario as well as Mr. and Mrs. Elway was definitely a pleasure! This photo shoot was put together for commercial purposes, you may have already seen one of the billboards off the 60 freeway in Riverside. Handcrafted Media and Dean Wilder Photography are a group of talented, laid back yet so professional group of people they make work feel like play time. The photo shoot consisted of 6 models and over 15 staff needing hair and makeup, so as you can imagine it was a pretty busy day for the makeup and hair department which consisted of myself and Adela Benavidas. So many thanks to Adela!

Collaberation of beauty

I met Pricilla while I was working at a wedding. She was the girlfriend of the "bride to be" son. She had no makeup on, but was very stunning. I asked her for her information and if she would be interested in doing a photo shoot? She was very excited and very willing. Who wouldn't be willing to play dress up and makeup? It's every women fantasy, right? I collaborated with Michelle owner of Beverly Hills Bridal Exchange for her spectacular gowns and accessories, Jule from Julea Jewels also had several accessories to choose from. I was taken aback by what Nathan Lee of NLRphotography brought to the table. He captured so much beauty! I really enjoyed working with him and look forward to working with him in the future. Pricilla was a great model! She was a pleasure to work with, very easy going and just took spectacular pictures. I did enhance Pricilla's beauty, just a bit....she is already so beautiful she didn't need much help.
