Here Comes Hope! My 2nd Photo Shoot
Second photo shoot is complete! My theme for the shoot was Spring Beauty 2012. By researching the beauty trends for 2012 I found out that bold lips and eyes were a huge inspiration on the runways. Knowing that it’s a beauty shoot and only being shot waist up, I had to figure out what clothing to incorporate that would pair well with the bold make up, be cohesive and tell a story. This gave me the idea to use three different color bow ties on the male model and matching lips and eyes on the female model. My colors were fuchsia pink, orchid purple, and teal blue.
There were so many participants in this shoot and I am forever grateful for all their hard work and passion to make this concept come to life. My biggest issue was coming up with a location. One thing I have learned throughout this internship is to utilize all the resources you have and I did just that by using my boyfriend’s apartment. It had an empty space that was free for the day and it was big enough to set up and shoot it.
The shoot lasted for about 7 hours. Some may think it’s a fun and exciting, but there is actually a lot of time invested into one photo shoot. Not only, were there three wardrobe changes, but the make up artist and hair stylist have to change their looks as well. Patience is key and you must always stay on task.
I cannot express enough how grateful I am for this experience and how much more knowledgeable I am; not only about the wardrobe styling process but how to come up with a photo shoot from the ground up. Heading into the real world I have a better understanding of who I am as a wardrobe stylist and I now know what it takes to stand apart in the industry. My biggest advice to future interns is to have an open mind about everything and to always stay driven. It’s a very competitive industry and to get anywhere you have to NETWORK ,NETWORK, NETWORK, and to also contribute to others dreams and passions by participating in test shoots for they will help you in return!

What I learned from this experience is that time management is everything. Even if you have a schedule outlined hour by hour, you have to keep on track or else you’ll fall behind really fast; especially on shoots where sunlight was needed. It’s also great to always have a back up plan. Even though something seems so perfect and you can never imagine it going wrong, it very well could. This was definitely a learning experience and I had so much fun doing it!

Here Comes Hope: My First Photo Shoot
-Ella Fitzgerald
The time has come for my first photo shoot and the excitement is unbearable! I can tell you that it has not been easy but I wouldn't have it any other way. I have a great line to work with called, SPC Couture; it is a very edgy line with structured pieces. Although, everything is mostly in order, I still have to finalize the rest of my accessories for the shoot. The most difficult part was finding a location; it is hard when you have an exact image in your mind and you can’t find it. But on a positive note: It is nice to know that there are other artist out there that are willing to sacrifice their time for you and your dreams. So far, on this journey I have learned so much and am forever grateful for the knowledge that I will carry on with my after my internship!
Yours truly,
Hope Beel

Tuesday Tips @ 10am: Lips All Day
Though every bride would like to keep her makeup artists for the entire day of her wedding to touch up her makeup up and reapply the perfect lip color to her lips, not every bride can afford the luxury of doing so. However, brides can afford to purchase an extra tube of lipstick or lip gloss for their wedding day. Make some time a few days before your wedding, preferably with your Maid of Honor, to shop for the perfect lipsticks or lip gloss. Have your lip color ready for your makeup artist and then hand it to your Maid of Honor to hold for reapplying when needed.
Here Comes Hope!
Hello all!
My name is Hope Beel and I’m currently a senior at The University of North Texas, pursuing my degree in Fashion Merchandising and I have currently joined forces with The La Belle Agency to get an up close and personal feel of the Fashion and Beauty industry. A little bit about myself: I have a great passion for fashion, I believe fashion is a great way to showcase who you are and allows individuality. I’m very active as well, I love wake boarding, mountain biking, running, and yoga. I once modeled, so i have some knowledge on what happens behind the scenes and although I love being in front of the camera, my passion is creating the concept of the look. I cannot tell you how excited I was to begin my journey with La Belle Agency, and now that I have begun it has only increased my excitement! I have already completed my first task of styling an outfit for a photo shoot and felt the pressure to find an outfit fast, it really is exhilarating when you know that after all the anticipation it is definitely worth it. During my internship I am determined to broaden my knowledge on becoming a great wardrobe stylist and creative director. Throughout this process I will be updating the blog with great tips from fashion to beauty and also giving you a first hand look at the behind the scenes of all the great photo shoots that we have planned. Stay tuned for some exciting news and details of our upcoming projects.

Tuesday Tips @ 10am: 3 Reasons for Brides to Drink Water
Everyone knows that water is essential to good health. However, there are at least three good reasons why brides should drink water.
2) "You may now kiss the bride" statement my be scary if your lips are dry and cracked. Drinking water weeks before your wedding to keep you hydrated will pay off at the end with a softer kiss.
3) The lovely photo of your rings will look much better if your dry flaky cuticles are not taking over. Most brides will have their nails done a day or two before the wedding but, drinking water weeks before will insure a softer looking hand that may not have to be photoshopped extensively.
From the eyes of the Intern: Final Posting!
Hello All!
On my final days of my internship at La Belle Agency and as I sit here and look through all of my notes that I've taken over the summer, I have to summarize everything into a few paragraphs. Otherwise this would be a chapter book! I think back to my first day when I walked into the office, knowing that I wanted to be a wardrobe stylist. I had no idea exactlly what that meant or how I was going to make this dream come true, but I knew that I was going to accomplish my dream one day.
 |
| First day of the internship |
I have always heard that internships are to gain "experience" and learn about the industry before getting a career in that field. I could not have asked for a more hands on and actual learning experience than my internship at La Belle Agency. Each day I was assigned a task that I had never done before to learn all of the different areas of the fashioin industry and not just the wardrobe styling side. Whether this was calling photographers for photo shoots, pulling clothes from stores, location scouting, responding to models, video editing and many other tasks. There was a lot more to being a wardrobe stylist than just putting cute clothes together to make an outfit.
 |
| Photo shoot on a yacht |
We have all heard the saying, "you learn something new everyday." This was deffinetly the case during my internship and my note book is evidence of this! As I was assigned tasks and duties through out the summer I was able to gain more experience and confidence about the fashion industry. Not only did I learn about fashion merchandising but I studied business, PR, event planning, and social media within a few months.

I was very fortunate to have been offered this internship position and to be able to learn all about the industry from someone with a very high level of experience. This internship was so much better than sitting in a classroom and reading a textbook and I had gained more knowledge than I ever would at school. Who knew that wardrobe stylists would need to get tools and supplies to fit the clothes at a Home Depot on the way to a photo shoot?
 |
| My first self produced photo shoot |
As I gather my notes and take home my coffee machine from the office, I am honored to leave La Belle Agency as a more experienced and knowledgable stylist. My notes and high quality pictures from "my first photo shoot" for my portfolio are just a small piece of what I can take away from this experience. I have the proper knowledge and experience for the "real world" that I am going to use for the rest of my life.
Stay Beautiful!
