This shoot were working with Diane Dick Legends model Keshia Daniels. This was our first shoot with Keshia and we were excited to meet her. And hopefully she was excited to meet us as well. Shooting so many different models you really got flex those creativity muscles to come up with a concept for a shoot but, I'm a big fan of less is more when it comes to photography so we wanted to keep things simple for this shoot. We decided to focus on beauty shots for this shoot so we could save something for next shoot. Keshia has a great face and a ton of hair that we wanted to put up so its out of her face. It totally changed the shape of her face it was like looking at a different model. This was a great first shoot with Keshia and we can't wait to get her back in the studio for another one. I'm already brainstorming ideas for our next shoot, and I'm sure Alayza is too.

This time on behind the glass were featuring Dallas model and blogger Lizzie Bross. For this shoot Alayza and Lizzie did all the planning I was just along for the ride. I was told the night before we were shooting Lizzie in the morning also that she got a new tattoo and it would be cool to show it off. Lizzie is an awesome model and person so of course I was down for the shoot, I wanted this shoot to have a fun/sexy/edgy feel to it so I adjusted my lighting accordingly I think it was the perfect choice for this kind of shoot. And an awesome way for Lizzie to model her new tattoo. The red lip was very prominent in this shot. The same way I was while I was shopping for it. Alayza ran out red lipstick and I was forced to go grab some while Alayza was doing Lizzies makeup. I didn't really know what to get but I told Alayza I would facetime her when I got there and she could pick. Unfortunately we had a bad connection so I just text pictures to her and I eventually found a color she was happy with, Another great shoot in the books, and I'm sure we'll be shooting again with Lizzie in no time she's so fun to work with! And her new tattoo looks awesome! Be sure to check out Lizzie's blog www.glossandbross.com lots of good stuff on there. You might even see some of our old shoot on there : )

It's been 6 months sense Aliaa last graced our studio, and we were excited to get her back in here for some beauty shots. Aliaa and Alayza wanted to do something colorful for Aliaa's makeup. I'm usually not a fan of colorful eye looks but this looked really good on Aliaa. It really made her eyes stand out with the blue underneath. It doesn't take long with a model like Aliaa to get the shots you need. So we thought it would be a good idea to do a couple jewelry shots. I think they turned out great maybe I'll do more in the future! It was great seeing Aliaa again, We definitely won't wait so long to bring Aliaa back in for another shoot, 6 months is way too long. This was another great shoot with Aliaa, and I'm looking forward to the next one!
Model// Aliaa Bekhit Makeup// Alayza Casey Photography// Deon Casey IG:@buckety @deoncaseyphotography @alayzacaseymakeup Were back again sooner than expected with Marisol, always a good thing! Marisol recently got signed with a modeling agency(wooooo!) and they told her she needed some basic shots in her portfolio so she came to us : ) we did them but we also wanted to do something dramatic. Alayza wanted to do a striking makeup look it sounded fun to me and I knew exactly how I wanted to shoot it. I actually did 12 rounds on this particular image, I wanted it just right and I'm very pleased with the end result. Marisol was having a bit of a breakout but it was nothing I couldn't handle. You'd never be able to tell viewing the image. That's it for this one nice and short, were really happy for Marisol and excited to see where this takes her modeling career!
Model// Marisol Makeup// Alayza Casey Photography// Deon Casey IG:@deoncaseyphotography @alayzacaseymakeup @_marisollo This time were working with Campbell model Aleja Briles. This was our first shoot with Aleja and it was a fun one, especially because this is the first time in weeks we got out of the studio and shot on location (too cold). I love shooting outdoors and we caught a break with the weather so we hit the streets of Dallas. You can't tell from looking at Aleja, but for whatever reason it was ridiculously windy in this one spot and there was so no sunlight. We probably shot 10 images before we all got to cold lol. We switched locations asap, but not before we captured this beautiful image!. Once we left Winterfell we headed south in search of warmth and sunlight and possibly a good starbucks. We were in luck, right next to the starbucks there was an empty office building with an orange door and whenever possible I like to add a splash of color to our images. I think it really makes them pop! What do you think? We definitely got a wide variety of shots outdoors with Aleja this backlit one is of my favorites from the shoot, but it was starting to get cold(again). Even though the weather turned on us we all wanted to keep shooting so we headed back to the studio for some beauty shots. Alayza went to work on her face right away, I'm always amazed at how little time it takes her once she's decided on a look. Our shoots don't usually take long the first time we shoot with someone, but we all got along so well we lost track of time believe or not we actually did another look! Another amazing shoot with another great model I suspect you'll be seeing alot of Aleja around Dallas in the coming months so be on the lookout. Were looking forward to our next shoot together hopefully in better weather ; )
Model// Aleja Briles Makeup// Alayza Casey Photography// Deon Casey IG: @alittlealeja @alayzacaseymakeup @deoncaseyphotography This time were working with Kim Dawson model Talia Kelly. This is our 2nd shoot with Talia, and I'm happy she decided to work with us again. She's a great model and has the schedule to prove it! She literally left from a shoot with JCPenney and came to our studio right after ready for another shoot. She's amazing! Of course Alayza styled this shoot too and for the first look she decided to put Talia in a red jumper and she looks amazing in red I think it might be her color. Alayza got this jumper from H&M (before all the craziness) She seen it and thought right away this would be perfect for her. Which celeb do you think Talia looks like in this gold sequin romper? This was a fun outfit to shoot in we got some great images! This was our last outfit for the shoot, very different from the other two but I really like this look too. We got a wide variety of outfits that each gave off their own vibe, and Talia modeled each outfit differently like a pro. Of course we had to do some beauty shots with Talia she's so beautiful and Alayza did an amazing job on her makeup I knew we would get some great images! This was a great shoot and we always love working with Talia and were already looking forward to the next shoot with her!

This was our first shoot with Ashlyn, It's always exciting working with new models and meeting new people. I love a new face in front of my camera and I couldn't wait to start shooting.
The first of the 3 outfits we shot in was this blue lace dress Alayza got from H&M. I wanted a softer light for this look its not completely shadowless but they are very soft.
We breezed through this look with Ashlyn, a great way to start the shoot off!
The next outfit was this black lace up dress, A black dress is going to look good just about anywhere so this was an easy look for Ashlyn to model and she killed it.
This last outfit was fun it was a little more wild which is always fun to shoot, but I thought we needed an edgier light so I switched it up for the last outfit.
Ashlyn has such a great face we had to do some beauty shots and show of Alayza's makeup skillz along with Ashlyn's modeling
And of course we had to do a video. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Another great shoot in the books, Alayza did a great job styling and the makeup was flawless as always, and Ashlyn did an amazing job too it was a really fun first shoot!

Marisol's face was made to be photographed, Just take a look. So it's always amazing shooting her because I know by the end of the shoot I'm going to have a ton of great photos to go through.
Marisol isn't in town too often so when we do get a chance to work with her our shoots can run a bit long. For this shoot I think we did 3 outfits, beauty shots and video. And she was great start to finish.
We always have a great time shooting her. This was our 3rd shoot together so there was no nervous energy, but thinking back I don't know if she ever was ever nervous around us. : )
Curly or Straight? We couldn't decide either so we shot both. It's amazing how hair can change the look of a person in such a short amount of time.
She needed a little help with her next outfit, luckily Alayza was willing and I had to get a shot of them struggling to get her tiny body into tinier clothing.
It was worth the effort it took to get her in those pants this look turned out great!. Alayza styled the whole shoot, and did an amazing job again.
Marisol+Alayza makeup= Long lost Kardashian sister. What do you think, can you see the resemblance?
And by special request : Marisol in "La Modelo" directed by yours truly. I hope you enjoy!
This was seriously another great shoot in the books also this is my first post of the new year so Happy New Year everyone! Model// Marisol Makeup// Alayza Casey Photography// Deon Casey IG:@deoncaseyphotography @alayzacaseymakeup @_marisollo
This was our 5th or 6th shoot with Linda she was actually one of first models we shot when we moved to Dallas. Shes always been ready for a shoot even some last minute ones despite her being super busy with her modeling and acting. I guess she likes us ; )
Linda is low key famous in DFW, Alayza and her went live on IG and Facebook and Linda had a ton of fans tune inn and she said hi to all of them! (it took awhile).
Linda's smile here captures her personality perfectly on shoots she just a ball of energy and positivity.
This was first time we got anything other than beauty shots with Linda and I'm happy we did the shots turned out great.
This was my favorite look from the shoot Linda she was looking Red Carpet ready in this dress.
(Update*) I actually ended up making two videos let me know which you like best!
This was a great way to wrap up a fun shoot with Linda I can't wait til next time! Model// Linda Heidy Makeup// Alayza Casey Photography// Deon Casey IG: @lindaheidydtx @deoncaseyphotography @alayzacaseymakeup
My cousin Alicia was visiting us from Charlotte, NC and we did a lot while she was here. We visited several of our favorite Dallas Restaurants (Gyu-Kaku) We took her to her first club (Medusa) and the big one, her first photoshoot.
I've always thought Alicia would make a great model shes beautiful tall and skinny (size Zero) many people also told her this growing up but the opportunity never really presented itself. Luckily me and Alayza just so happen to be the perfect people to get her started.
Once again Alayza did an amazing job with styling and of course makeup and hair. Alicia looks amazing in this matching red blazer and pants set. And she modeled it like a pro!
The second look looks like something out of a runway show, I really like shooting interesting pieces of clothing it makes the photos stand out a little more. Alicia rocked this look too, I think this was her favorite look of the shoot.
Alayza's last look was great too I think this look was my favorite of the shoot. This was a very upscale fashion look and it suited Alicia well.
We also did a short fashion video with Alicia which turned out great. Tell me what you think.
This was a great first shoot to launch Alicia's modeling career she did an amazing job and I'm sure Alicia will have a bright future no matter what path pursues. (hopefully modeling)
