Highlights of the Aveda Institute of Denver Estheology class photo shoot

My amazing sister, Ayana (pictured above), invited me to photograph the Estheology class she teaches at the Aveda Institute of Denver. The students receive one photo shoot in which they come up with a concept, recruit a model and prepare the model for a photo shoot.

Holly NAHA

This is my first year getting the opportunity to work with a stylist who is entering NAHA, the North American Hairstylist Awards. Winning or placing in NAHA is comparable to a photographer winning a Pulitzer Prize.

So while in Provo Utah working on the Aveda Best Salon & Spa Utah book, I worked with stylist Heggy Gonzalez who is entering.

This is our warm up photo shoot. More details and the images submitted to the competition will be posted after the judging.

All styling, wardrobe, hair and makeup by Heggy Gonzalez...
