What a Makeover!

Taylor Ector Studios

I am working on something very nice here in Atlanta. It involves our top celebrity photographers and I think people will be pleased with the outcome. Well Rob Ector was my third stop to see on my journey and we had a ball! Rob Ector is a fellow Clevelander that I met at Derek Blanks studio a few years ago. We were laughing and talking about missing the food we grew up on lol.

Rob has now branched off on his own and now has his own studio called, Taylor Ector Studios which he co-owns with his sister. I was very impressed by his work because he has shot some great people. He is a very talented person and I love to see young men start their own businesses! We sat down and talked about the business and he told me that his studio is a one stop shop. When you book with him, you can get a stylist which is his sister, Leah Taylor,Makeup by LaTasha Wright and Hair by Valerie Hamilton. All are the bomb and have glammed up the biggest names in the entertainment industry.

Celebrity Makeup Artist LaTasha Wright

Well it was my turn to try them out and all I can say is wowza! I came in a hot mess and left feeling very sexy and beautiful! First I sat down with celebrity makeup artist, LaTasha Wright. She said she has worked with many people in the industry and she use to work for MAC Cosmetics, before doing her own thing. When we were talking she said that she had just did Atlanta Housewife, Sheree Whitfield’s face for the reunion show. I was very impressed with how she beat my face! I have gotten my face down by alot of makeup artist but I’m going to say she is in my top three now, lol.

Celebrity Hairstylist Valerie Hamilton

Next Valerie Hamilton did my hair. I loved her accent but she said she is from Connecticut lol. She said she has done Mary J Blige to soo many other celebrities, I was soo happy to sit in her chair lol. She added hair clips to my hair and styled it in like 20 minutes! She works very fast and it came out so darn cute! I felt very glamourous!

Leah Taylor getting me right!

Then I was styled by Celeb Stylist Leah Taylor which, is the Co Owner of Taylor Ector Studios. She styled NeNe Leakes in the alter ego show on Atlanta Housewives and may more notable celebs. In her style suite she had the latest clothing, hats, coats ,sparkly dresses, shoes and accessories and young girl would love to play in there! Watch out Rachel Zoe, Leah is coming for you, lol! The style Diva put me in a Black Jumpsuit, Black Christian Louboutin shoes and glitzy bracelets and a necklace. I felt like I was Janet Jackson’s stand in,because that’s who I thought I looked like, lmao!

Va Va Voom!

Then it was my buddy Rob to take my pics. I’m very comfortable around Rob because he reminds me of a lil brother I never had lol. He is very creative and can build any set that you are thinking of.He has shot Eva Pigford,Lance Gross,Tameka Tiny Cottle and Antonia Toya Carter just to name a few. I know you guys are wondering, where is my pink? That pic will also be revealed for my new banner in the new year, ha!

Celebrity Photographer Rob Ector

I will unveil the final pic soon but wanted you to check these pics out. Look at the before and after its so serious! Thank you guys for glamming me up and I will be back and you guys check the website out! Taylor Ector studios will also be launching a new tv show as well. When I left the studio my hubby was very excited if you get what I mean, shout outs to my hubby Terrell, I Love You and thanks for thinking Momma still got it!
