Makeup for TCU Cheer Team!

La Belle Agency was honored to sponsor the TCU Cheer Team as they performed at the Cowboy's Stadium against BYU in October 2011. TCU's Cheer Team advised us about their "Frogs for the Cure" program which is an ongoing effort to raise money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure Greater Fort Worth and to create awareness for the fight against breast cancer. With such a great cause and an outstanding cheer team, we were proud to sponsor such a great group of ladies.

A special thanks to:

Here Comes Hope! My 1st Photo Shoot... Check!

Intern Hope Beel on location.

First photo shoot as a Creative Art Director/Wardrobe Stylist is complete! I’m very excited to start my portfolio with the amazing shots from the shoot. Without the hard work of all the participants I wouldn’t have been able to do it. The biggest surprise was not realizing how much help I actually needed. Thank goodness for Ms. Narvell’s interns for the day: Aubrie Ellis, Chanel Johnson, and Kayla Tyzio for all their help. Also, thanks to the amazing talents of photographer Shane Klien and make up artist/hair stylist Rachelle Gleason for La Belle Agency.

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!

We love the shoes!

Here Comes Hope: My First Photo Shoot

“Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong."

-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

Today tip is a tip of encouragement. We want to encourage every woman to get a mammogram.

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.
