This is another look from a photo shoot with model Joanna Kulpa in 2003 and in Vancouver. The model is wearing her own creation for this shoot. I really enjoy the complimentary soft tones of the hair and clothes together.

These styles were done for a charity show for BC Children’s Hospital Foundation in 2018,⁠
Using large needles, I used fake hair to knit a small scarf that I used to weave in between the pompoms.⁠
⁠

This photoshoot was for Hairdressing Awards in Vancouver in 2006. I wanted to use a new photographic technique for the shots, that highlighted the folds in the black clothes. I like techniques that catch the eye but don’t distract from the hair. ⁠

This photo shoot was for a hair competition by in 2006 that was photographed by . I wanted a coloured disconnected piece, so we coloured a false piece and this was the result.⁠
⁠

For this look, with model Joanna Kulpa once again, I wanted to try a different backdrop to the more traditional plain colour usually used in hair photos, so I chose this graphical fabric. Because of the Goth feel of the clothes, I needed a contrasting hair colour. It was interesting, but in the end, I think the background does take away from the hair.

This piece was created for a charity hair show, called Beauty Gives Back in 2017. Doing avant garde work does not come naturally to me, but working with a group of talented hair stylists who do a lot of that work stretched my ability. I wanted to do something unusual, so I bought some plastic sheeting that had holes punched in it. I then weaved hair through the sheeting to make a band of material that was over a meter long.

This photoshoot was also done for the Toni&Guy hairdressing awards in 2006. I wanted a monochromatic shoot, where the hair stood out, and with a Photoshop technique that made the light reflections pop to a brilliant white. ⁠

Another shoot at with photographer Jae Jeong. My model, Madeline, had lovely curly hair that breathes fresh versatility to her look. I love the apricot colour of her hair!⁠
⁠

This photoshoot was done in 2006, and was a winner at Hairdresser of the Year Awards. I was working alongside and stylist Luisa Rino for this shoot.⁠
⁠

This photoshoot alongside was done in my condo in Vancouver. I wanted to produce a creative that we might get good pictures from. I loved working with Angels hair, the texture was amazing. We cut it and gave her a few highlights that were toned to suit her skintone.⁠
