shimmery bronze, to a red orange, to an earthy brown. An unexpected pairing, but the plum gave the looks depth and accentuated MC’s sunshine smile! Yoni Kreger, YK Salon - My main objective was to maintain M.C.’s beautiful length while enhancing the overall flow with texture and movement. To frame her face, I took her contagious smile as the focal point, using

hair to her natural straight texture, before finishing with some dry cutting. Soft beach waves showcase her hair’s new movement. M.C.’s hair is the perfect example that sometimes less is more! Lee Seidenberg Photography - MC brought a lot of incredible energy to our shoot. She’s a mind-body fitness instructor, and we wanted to capture that essence in her portraits. For the flowing brown dress, we shot her with

a gentle slide cutting technique to connect the length to her face frame. Precisely cut medium layers throughout her hair— using a technique called point cutting—helps remove weight from the layers, allowing the hair to fall softly. Once the layers were perfected, I blew out her

a slow shutter to create a hint of motion blur. For the patterned dress, we had fun photographing her against a patterned rug. Lastly, for the lacy top, we opted for good old-fashioned window light and a warm smile.
