More About Baron
Baron is a New Jersey native and holds a Degree in Applied Arts & Sciences. An artist in his own right, Baron has two independent musical releases garnering nominations and awards for his outstanding vision.
Baron says, "I've always had a love for photography.I remember my first photo shoot when I was like 16 years old. I put up a backdrop in my backyard and photographed my co-workers and classmates. My entire family was on the left side in lawn chairs cheering me on. It was hectic, but I knew at that moment, I loved photography."

More About Uche
A Houston, Texas native by way of Louisiana, Uche grew up with a love for make-up. As a young girl, she was known to play in her aunt'smakeup and became an avid reader of fashion magazines and anything that showcased womens beauty. Practicing on her own face and friends who would sit down long enough, Uche developed a love and passion for the Make-up Arts. After completing the Aesthetics course at the European Academy of Cosmetology, Uche became a freelancer for retail outlets, photographers, filmmakers, and designers.
For Uche, photography has always been an interest. But after photographing baron., her environment, and herself, she became instantly involved in the art of photography. This real world experience afforded her the ability to take beauty from both a make up artist stand point and a photographer's mind to create the desired images for her clients.
Uche says "As a makeup artist/photographer, I find myself using my love for Fine Art, Colors and music as inspiration for looks I create. Inspiration is found everywhere and I love to capture what is inspiring which translates in my love for photography."
