In 2017 our team won the largest national beauty competition for our Game of Thrones inspired beauty editorial -- it's a fashion/beauty/editorial competition (hair, makeup, nails -- we were the nail fashion category). 120 judges went through submissions and picked ours for our category. See the Professional Beauty Association NAHA page and an article about the win in Nails Magazine. The picture below is us on stage! (The model is Jacqueline Hatch, Phoebe Dingman, makeup artist on the left, Rochelle Dingman, from Shear Fashion Salon, Nail Artist of the Year 2017 in the middle, and me on the right).

In 2019 we were finalists once again in the NAHA competition. We didn't win this time around, but it was still a great experience. I've written a blog post about NAHA 2019 here.

In 2020, we've received notification of being finalists for NAHA. We get to find out if we won in January.

Also in 2019, Peerspace named me one of the Top 12 best fashion photographers in San Francisco. My weddings are fashion inspired and that's why they look similar and they could go together! The same lights I use for fashion, I also use for weddings. :)
