Check out the awesome results (click the above to enlarge) of a client shoot with Nadia Cheema. Our model and client, Komal, is such a striking lady...and has a killer wardrobe to boot (the outfits we used were all her own!)!! Love!

I think pics like these would make great gifts for your sweetheart on Valentine's Day, no? One thing's for sure - femme fatale Komal's definitely breaking hearts with these pics! :)

My inspiring pal Jenise is organizing a fundraiser for the recent situation in Haiti. If you're in the GTA area, come on out and bring a few friends to have some fun while raising money for a great cause at Bowl for Haiti.

I have my first wedding of the year that day so I won't be there in person, but artistrhi will definitely be there in spirit!! There will be a raffle at the event for an artistrhi make-up prize pack. The prize pack includes a free make-up application from myself along with the make-up goodies pictured above (that's a total value of $200!).

If you can't make it, there are easy and instant ways to donate via these aid organizations:
1. Doctors without Border / Médecins Sans Frontières
2. Red Cross
3. Unicef
4. Free the Children

It's been a week since the devastating earthquake hit Haiti, but the recovery and rebuild process will be ongoing long after Haiti disappears from news headlines. Let's do our part to contribute... :)

2010 is off to a great start with all the bridal trials and weddings that are going on!! Caroline pictured above was such a delight to work with.

She wanted a 'fresh' and glowing look so we kept the make-up neutral around the eyes, added falsies and then highlighted the cheeks and lips with warm pink tones. The result...a beautiful, blushing bride-to-be!!

p.s. don't you just love her dimples?! Stay tuned as I help Caroline prep for her Big Day in June :)

Rina + Joe engaged are now actually Rina + Joe married!! Oops I'm a little behind in adding these pics to the artistrhi site, but I wish them the best all the same!! I'm looking forward to e-shoots with Claud getting underway with our first one right around the corner in February... stay tuned for those cool (well, literally cold!) shots :)

Attention brides-to-be: check out this link about the ongoing Claudia Hung Weddings and artistrhi collaboration to receive a complimentary mini make-up appointment with yours truly!

Awesome.
