Thi's Beauty Story: Kim's Beauty Transformation


Kim's Before and After Photo

In early February 2009, my Sister-in-law, Kim Jubb came out to visit me and the family from Colorado. Kim is one of the sweetest ladies you'll ever meet and I would consider her quite the minimalist! After years of working out and a healthy diet, Kim showed up on my doorstep 40+ pounds lighter. She looked great! Although Kim felt good about her new body, it didn’t quite transcend to the outside.
So Taylor and I felt that with her new physique and amazing accomplishments, it was time for her to treat herself to a complete beauty transformation! So in the course of less than a week, we pulled the project together. Taylor and I took Kim shopping and found her a whole new wardrobe to fit her new body shape.


We then enlisted Taylor’s sister, Cali, who’s a fabulous and talented hair dresser. She gave Kim an amazing new color and sassy A-line cut! (Cali Pham: (408) 890-1477, Tangerine Hair Studio, San Jose, CA)

On the day of the shoot, Taylor worked her magic! For as long as I'v known her, she still amazes me by her talent. Taylor was confident there was an inner-diva somewhere in Kim just waiting to get out. Therefore, she decided to take Kim's look to her maximum full potentials - and boy did she!

After hair and makeup was complete, I helped style Kim for her first professional photoshoot debut. Once the look was all pulled together, we had our good friend and amazing photographer, Jennnifer Skog, come to photograph our gorgeous new model! Jen did an awesome job!

After a few series of shootings, Kim got her grove on and was a whole new woman! The process was so much fun and rewarding. Her beauty from within resonated outward! Talk about a complete transformation!


At the end, we did a few sweet photos of my mother-in-law, Joan Harris, who also got a makeover that day. Mom was such a huge support for Kim throughout the whole process and it was such a joy to capture these precious moments between a mother and daughter. Thank you Kim for completely entrusting yourself in our hands - I love you and Mom to pieces!
