I wanted to introduce my other love: Photography. I figured I'd let new readers see that there is more to me than just makeup. As much as I love makeup, there are other things that I enjoy. (As makeup may be viewed as being superficial to some), but it's art to me, and I have a passion for both makeup and photography, and surprisingly this blog allows me to play with both!
These are some pictures from my Flickr, some photos I took the past few months using my NIKON D40X the boyfriend got me for my 25th birthday. I love scenery, I still have yet to shoot people, any volunteers? :)

Thushaa- Thank you! I took one photography class in college, but it was mainly slides. My dad used to be a photographer so he inspired me to take it up, and I just taught myself. Played with the settings, angles, lighting, etc.
you are truly an artist, whether it's your makeup or your photography. i reeeally love the candle one. very romantic.

Beautiful shoots. I'm particularly drawn by the interesting perspectives!
the picture from the airplane is so siiiick.
Your pictures are beautiful! I wish I could take pictures like that. Thank you for sharing! =)
Thanks for sharing these! Some of these are AMAZING. My favorite would have to be the third one. The contrast and the color is so beautiful. I also love the ones of your sisters!!!!!
I'm just gonna quote everyone above me.
Is this just a hobby or do you actually go in depth and developed them on your own and have a studio and stuff?
girl you're such a jack of all trades! i feel so much happier after looking at your pictures. it's like being reminded of the beauty in the simple things. And are you kidding?? if you ever need volunteers just holler!! i'm in la too :)
I looove the airplane shot! Ive been wanting an SLR cam for the longest time.
oh and if people think m/u is superficial, then what the heck are they doing reading your blog? =p
Hey girl, those are some beautiful photos. You definitely have talent. I especially love the one with the glass and the city. :)

Wow! You have great skills!
Stunning work!!
I love those photos=)...they really capture the essence of nature and beauty=)...I am living in LA, I would love to be your volunteer for the photos=)...but I am rather plump, so prob after I lose some stress-weight-gain??=D...My fav got to be the glass of water, with slices of cucumber(??)... stunning...
Those are awesome shots! I was mesmerized by its beauty and simplicity. Keep it up!
girl I got one word: stunning photos
My sis is a photography major Ill have to get her to take a look at your great photos
Very well done Vanessa! My fave one will be the third from top, the water with boats, sunset, silhouette...it's so serene.
You're very talented. Don't you just wish you can quit your full time job and devote more days to hobbies and passions in life? I do!
Oh and I live in LA area. Us locals should organize a full day event to meet for make-up and photography!
i love the clarity and perspective of your photography! one day, i will learn how to use manual functions :P it's confusing on which shutter/aperture speed to set!
haha, i would love to volunteer, but i am a complete n00b when it comes to posing. not to mention i live 3,000 miles away, lol!
hmm not sure if my last comment went through. ooh well.
