After the start of March being crazy with travelling all over Townsville, Magnetic Island & Airlie Beach for weddings I got some very sad news! One of my most favourite photographers and friend, Danielle Hansen is leaving Townsville to pursue a career in Sydney. Danielle was the second photographer in Townsville that I ever collaborated with, on a portfolio shoot for Taylor from Shear Model Management. I was a complete newbie to the makeup photoshoot world in January 2013 and Dani was one of the most amazing people to start working with.
Below is images from our first shoot I worked on with Dani! :D

Dani is the reason I got my first published work in Mayhem Magazine for the label 'Loving you Yesterday' with the beautiful model Billy-Jo from RFT Models, which as you can see by the middle picture I was very excited about! Not only was she always recommending me for jobs and further publications she would always keep me in mind for every opportunity that came up for a makeup artist & hair stylist. It always gave me a massive confidence boost that somebody with so much talent would want to shoot my work and without her amazingness I wouldn't have got as far as I have & met many other creatives in Townsville.
Dani you are such an awesome person and can make anybody feel comfortable in front and behind the camera! I honestly am going to not only miss the fact that your amazing talents are leaving Townsville but I will miss our random hangs/discussions before & during shoots. (and I'm sure Vader is going to miss his cuddles!) I don't think I will feel comfortable having anybody else shoot my work (without the fear that they won't get that perfect shot) for a very long time! I know you will come to visit and I will definitely be coming to Sydney...so its not the end of random, creative shoots!
Townsville is losing one of its top creatives in my opinion but you are going to go absolutely smash it in Sydney...they won't know what hit them!
Missing you already!
Dani working her magic...I was always snapping those behind the scenes shots! :D
