I love what I do!

Have you ever looked at a toy in the store and noticed the kid on the side of the box looking like hes never been more excited in his life? Or wonder how all of those ethnically diverse children happen to be playing with the same toy at the same time?! Well, now I know how it all works! The last two day I have been working for a company that is developing a new line of toys. The toy line will be under the name "Puddle Jumper" and will be in Target. We also did some pictures for a line of RC toys called Ignite that has been out for a little while.
My co-worker, Carrie Purser, was contacted about doing the hair and makeup for this shoot but was way too busy to fit it in. She asked me if I would be interested and I was able to make it work. I had so much fun! We did it all right here in Logan at Dunker Imaging. Chris (the photographer) has a huge studio space that he and his wife (an interior designer) share. I didn't take a lot of pictures because obviously, I was working, but here is what I got...

My work space at the end of the day!

I loved it and I don't mind working with kids (seeing as how I did it for a year and a half at CC). I hope lots more opportunities like this come my way in the future!

Bridge Pigtails

This is another hairstyle I did at Cookie Cutters. I loved to do messy pigtail buns and if the girl had long enough hair, I would add the 'bridge' part just to make it more interesting. And when the hair looked extra cute, the moms tipped better. Just sayin...a girls gotta eat. So to start, split the hair into two high pigtails...

Take a small section...
Braid that section and tuck it into the ponytail on the opposite side...

You could probably leave it like this but I like to take a section from the other side...

twist it and thread it around the braid and tuck it in the ponytail on the other side. I turned my pigtails into messy buns and...Wahla!

I love funky styles on little girls! Its just fun.

See ya!

Hair dos

• Try to make the pigtails even. AKA one is not higher up or more to the side than the other.


• Try double braids or double twists!


• Try braiding the pigtails instead of buns

Hair Don'ts

• If you are over the age of 11, don't do this style on yourself. Eww.


• Don't be afraid to try funky, fun styles. You only get to be a kid once.
