Letarte Swimwear shoot

I was so happy to be a part of the Letarte swimwear shoot last week!
The Letarte label, created by sisters Lisa Cabrinha and Michele Letarte Ross mixes a bohemian essence with chic global aesthetics that the sister duo have made recognizable around the globe. It was torture - such beautiful clothes, I wanted everything!
There is a beautiful new Letatarte store in Greenwich CT, but you can also find Letarte in most upscale department stores such as Bergdorf's NYC.

Happy New Year!

2011 has been a great, super-busy year! I am so grateful to all of my clients who put their trust in me with their projects. Even though I have been in this industry for a looong time, I continue to ask myself, "what can I do to really knock it out of the ball-park?"

In 2012, I hope to continue to learn and to grow as an artist, to take the time to experiment on my own projects. I think its very important as a make-up artist, (or any kind of artist) to play and push boundaries.

My thanks to all my clients, and also to my fantastic team for your skills and support.
I hope that you enjoy this reel that shows some of this years highlights!

Hair and make-up by Kerry-Lou Brehm, and Erin Cain

Congratulations Therese!

This is Therese, she and her (now) husband came all the way from Sweden to get married in NYC! I'm often hired to do hair and make-up for out-of-town brides-to-be, these btb's often ask how they can forgo a trial and still be happy with their hair and make-up. Therese had a hair and make-up trial in Sweden, and then
sent me photo's of the results. This worked out very well, Therese was very happy - both the hair and make-up came out very close to what she had done in Sweden.
The beautiful hair accessory was a brooch that was given to her by her grandmother.

Katrina Szish interviews Buch Brannaman

Recently I worked with CBS contributor Katrina Szish, who was appearing on The CBS Morning Show. I’ve been doing Katrina’s hair and make-up for quite a few years now, usually we do a lot of fashion related segments, but this time she was switching things up, and interviewing the real “horse whisperer”Buck Brannaman.
It was a very interesting story.
