You can plan as much as possible but sometimes things work out better than anticipated. This image is a perfect example. Neither of us had any idea this picture existed, but when Ashley came out with her outfit, there is no way we weren’t going to take advantage of this shot! If you missed out on attending the @moonlitcoutureinvitational plans are already on their way for an event later in the year. Are you a photographer, model, or HMUA that wants to collaborate, learn, and create with likeminded individuals? Let’s chat!! In the meantime, help me wish @ladythorn_ladylounge a happy birthday! She brought a glow and positive vibes that kept me pushing for this event to cross the finish line. She is a one of a kind team player and an asset to any creative session. Another out of town model that brought their A game not just with her stunning looks but with authentic support. You’re not just an artist you’re a friend for life now!! See ya on a future adventure.

Ever done that thing where you realize you haven’t posted in a month? Just me? Well… Here’s some beautiful shots of @bayleewemhoener from the @moonlitcoutureinvitational retreat I attended in April! After never having Baylee in my chair at ClickCon, I was lucky enough to have her as my model for the whole night, moving her through 3 makeup looks, which I built upon every outfit change. Look 1 is more commercial/simple beauty, look 2 added a lil drama, and look 3 I added pops of color and more sparkle…because…why not? 😜 Swipe though to see them all in more detail! More looks to come, this is just a lil taste of the progressions. Such a fun time to meet and be creative with some fabulous folks!

@whitman_johnson came to us with some very specific looks his agents wanted to fill the gaps in his headshots. He needed a few images that felt kinda rough and tough cowboy, a lil handsome leading man (maybe for period pieces?) and something that felt serious…maybe even villainous? Whether folks need a more broad package of images, or some narrowed down specifics, it’s always fun to see what we can craft together! Bookings are officially open for May! Come see us, and get what ya need! 📷: @cquinnphotos 💄: me! #makeupartist #mua #chicago #chicagomakeupartist #headshots

Jan-March is the season for the college acting students of Illinois to get their showcase headshots! (And…sometimes into April as well, for those that left it until the very last moment 😳) @gabriel.mcnabb was one of our first of the season, and they turned out fabulous! So happy we can help send these young actors into their professional careers with some great headshots that showcase their vibes, and their lovely faces! 📷: @cquinnphotos 💄: me! #makeupartist #chicago #chicagomakeupartist #actorheadshots #madcbs

My next project…a one woman show! @giuliatofanaplay Murderer, poisoner, witch. Executed in 1659 for the murder of 600 men. That’s how history remembers Giulia Tofana, the infamous creator of the Aqua Tofana poison. This is her story straight from Purgatory. Written by @gwynethforsythe Directed by @chitowncheryl1 Starring me…and only me Only 8 shows, at @thedentheatre , starting March 20th. Is Giulia a Murderer, Witch, or Savior? Does the patriarchy decide, or The Infinite? Will she find her way out of Purgatory? Will I remember all my lines?😳 Guess you gotta get your ticket to find out!

Back for another update, because when your look totally changes, you gotta get those fresh shots! @mariomazzetti booked a cruise gig with his previous headshots from us, but when he got off the ship, he had shrunk his waistline and grown some fabulous hair…it’s a give and take it seems :-) Bookings are open for April! 📷: @cquinnphotos 💄: me! #chicago #makeupartist #chicagoheadshots #actorheadshots #refresh

Don’t ask me to mug mug mug while making fun of awful men, unless you REALLY wanna see something ridiculous. Mugging is my favorite. @producingbody is my favorite. Painting @judithnightlight into Satine is my favorite. Getting to share a stage with all these super talented weirdos is my favorite. Pretending to seggsually assault one of my besties in front of an audience is NOT my favorite…but I’d do it again if ya asked me nicely 😜 Thank you, Mr. Worldwide. Goodnight. 💖 📷: @shermzilla
