Watch this beautiful edited video by Frame of Mind Photography of Leeandra & Devin's 2-day wedding (Indian Ceremony & Reception). This wedding was also filmed by "Four Weddings Canada" and WON a fantastic honeymoon - meaning I have a perfect record of bride contestants on the show having all won 1st Prize!
Lucky me to be hired to participate as a model and makeup artist for the biggest budget Bollywood movie ever produced to-date - Ra.One!
The premiere was held on October 26th at the Tiff Bell Lightbox Theatre in Toronto and the Bollywood King and star of the film, Shah Rukh Khan, was not only attacked by hundreds of excited fans while walking the red carpet but broke out in dance right infront of me while he was on-stage introducing his movie!
What an incredible experience...check out this video that was posted on youtube the following day:
I had the pleasure of working with a very talented team of artists on a music video production, directed by Amir Azimi of Eye Motion Media where I was able to touch the faces of the Canadian band Audio Playground (created the hit "(A Little) Respect") and Kardinal Offishall - although they didn't need much makeup!
It was such an exciting experience and I was able to meet and work with so many professional and creative artists like the Key Makeup Artists: Tara McPeake & Samantha Rossi (pictured below with me & Kardinal). As well as the stylist, Andy McParrot!
I was also lucky enough to make it into the video footage for High School Rush! I heard Rogers and E-talk were there too so there was some great media attention for this shoot - you can check out more photo's in my 'Commercial/Photoshoots' album
Here is a 1-minute snippet of a segment I took part of for an interview with Dr. Ruth Baruch M.D. for an informational segment on Schizophrenia on The Marla Shapiro Show (CNN).
I had the great experience working with a fellow Artist, by the name of Natasha Kudashkina, at a WFN (World Fishing Network) promotional ad they were putting out representing all of their most hardcore fans - who tattoo fishing related stuff on their bodies!
Getting the male models ready was easy and I had a ton of fun working with WFN host, Mariko Isumi! Here she is showing off one of Natsha's hand-made tattoo creations:
It's always great getting the opportunity to work with fellow Artist's in the industry, for networking, sharing experiences and just making a new friend!
Here we are at the end of our shoot with one of the Directors, Frank Russo. Check out Natasha's makeup (we had some free time!)

I recently did the hair and makeup for Brooke Garrard (up-and-coming country music singer) and her back-up dancers for her upcoming music video for the song "Mr.Romantic"
It was such a FUN shoot and I had a blast with the crew!
