My Weblog: Incredible Makeover! Utah Makeover Photography

What an AMAZING experience that I was able to share in this past month! I've been a vendor at the What a Woman Wants Show for the last three years and have formed a friendship with the Director of Events for the show, Marie Bowcut. When she called me last spring to ask me if I'd be willing to donate my services for a complete life makeover that her company was sponsoring, I was so thrilled! Several vendors got together to donate their services to make the life of a woman in our community better by making her look and feel her best.

As vendors, we were all given a list of women who had entered an essay as to why they felt that they should be chosen for the makeover. Each vendor voted for their favorite and the overall winner was Diane Mark! It was so easy to see the amazing potential in this lovely woman, both outward and inwardly.

Diane was treated to so many wonderful services through Tressa Branin's company, Total Style Solutions. Tressa helped Diane through everything from the initial call to let her know she'd won, to going through her closet to see what clothes she already had that were good for her body type. Then she oversaw all of the wonderful treatments that Diane won, from life coaching to eyelash tinting, facial skin lightening to hair extensions and make-up. She even took Diane on an all expenses paid shopping spree!

I got to know Diane before her make-over experience as well as photographing her afterwards. It was such a great experience!

Here are just a FEW of the amazing after images that I got with Diane!

Throughout our session, I kept having to stop taking her pictures to tell her again and again how beautiful she looked and what an amazing transformation had taken place. After about 45 minutes, I realized that the biggest transformation that I saw was actually in Diane's eyes. In her spirit and confidence. When I told her this, she started to cry and told me that she was truly so blessed to have been able to have this wonderful experience. She is really a changed woman, inside AND out!

Congratulations Diane, on this life changing makeover. I wish you so much happiness and success with this new turn in your life. You really deserve it! I'm so thrilled that I was able to be a part of it.

I can't wait to be a part of the next makeover in the spring of 2010!

What gorgeous eyes! She looks about 15 years younger afterwards. Amazing!

Heather, you are the QUEEN of making women look beautiful in portraits! She looks lovely in her before portrait as well, but you can see how the makeover has recharged her spirit.
