Like many, I love a good fairy tale. For those
of you who know me well, you know I have a deep affection for everything Alice
in Wonderland. My mom can contest that the "made for TV movie" Alice
in Wonderland was my absolute favorite as a child. I watched it several times a
week from beginning to end...it was a short (ha, ha, sorry mom) three and half
hours. And if you visit me in NYC we must have brunch at Alice's Tea Cup on the
Upper West Side. So when my colleague (wedding planner extraordinaire/owner
of Private Receptions) and good friend Lauren Cooper Ricciardelli asked if I would do makeup and hair for a
Snow White inspired photo shoot I was thrilled. True, Snow White did not
venture through the looking glass into a magical world to defeat the Queen of
Hearts and meet some fun and interesting friends along the way. Nonetheless, she
was and is a beauty inspiration from her flawless pale skin and her long
flowing black hair to her scarlet lips.

talented Ron Soliman and Edwin Ochoa help inspire a new winter makeup look or a
winter wonderland wedding for you! Enjoy!! Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot including some behind-the-scenes ones.
