Songbird G.I.E.L (God Is Eternal Life)

I had the pleasure of painting the beautiful canvas of Giel Joi Branker and I had a great time with this girl. Giel is a gospel recording artist who has been singing all her life. Culturally diverse and artistically blessed, this songstress has touched and is still touching the lives of many. The first time my hubby and I heard her sing we were both smitten. Not only was she wonderfully easy on the eyes (lol) but her presence was captivating and she rocked on the mic like nobody's business. From that day forth, hubby and I decided that we had to get that girl in our studio to do a photo-session with us. Sometime later the phone rang... JACKPOT!!! (lol).

The day of the shoot proved to be a phenomenal one! Accompanied by her beautiful mom, her friend J-Mill and every now and again her rather cool dad made an appearance. Her support system was definitely on lock. She was excitedly calm and gave me free reign to hone my skills on her hair & face. And the magic begun...  

First look: GIRL NEXT DOOR... I kept the look natural and clean with straight hair.

Second Look: SASSY LADY... Same look but i added color to her lips and pinned up hair.

Third Look: ROCKER CHICK... I smoked out her eyes and muted her lips (nude). curled and tussled hair to create a messy, unplanned look.

Fourth Look: CLASSY CHIC... Same look with a classic high bun.

So there you have it... A beautiful shoot for a beautiful lady!
