Britney… er, Diana?


My best friend, since the first year of kindergarten, and I have been doing creative shoots together since I finished makeup school. She has been begging me to do a shoot of her as Britney Spears probably since then. Finally, I agreed to squeeze it into my busy weekend plans. Nathan and I had a wedding to go to.

She came over bright and early and we spent the morning listening to every Britney song available on YouTube and I did her makeup. I was pressed for time and she still had to venture downtown to do the shoot with a friend (and great photographer) of hers. I left her all dolled up (but not particularly like Britney) and a little nervous to be in front of the camera.

These are a few pictures from the shoot. I think they turned out great! She doesn’t look like Britney Spears… but I see Diana Krall. I have always thought she did - my friend was not too pleased about that. I think I proved myself right with this one.

I do promise her that sometime we will shoot her again as Britney Spears. I will be there during the shoot as well, so I can adjust shadows with makeup and give her the appearance of Britney’s nose, lips, and eyebrows. Until then, she can be content with the gorgeous pictures we got from this shoot.
