Why We Are So Obsessed With Chandni's 30th Birthday Glamour Portraits

She's turning 30 soon, Chandni, and wanted to celebrate with a special gift to herself. This is something she'd wanted to do ever since she could remember coming across the idea. After putting it off and focusing on her career and personal development she knew, with the milestone of her 30th birthday approaching, this was the time to celebrate herself!

"I want to do something that's...different" Chandni said during our consultation and design session. Never really being one for wearing much makeup, she wanted to explore that part of herself - even learn a few tips along the way from Kirby, our stylist. We talked about creating an aesthetic that complimented her quiet and courageous soul. As Chandni is also going through training to be a yoga instructor, she wanted to include a relaxed natural look which she could use for her classes. Knowing we were going to start from a natural base, we talked about colors, mood and planned out the gowns she was going to wear from natural glam to deep glam in a design that would recognized her chic elegance. Seeking inspiration from her favorite Bollywood actresses, we swapped glamorous makeup ideas ranging from chic and simple to dark and strong.

 Chandni has finally seen her portraits and, man, I'm SO excited to share her glamour experience with you!! Here are a few of her favorites and a really cool behind the scenes video of her day with us!
