ABOUT TRANSITIONS MAKEUP AND PHOTO |
Transitions Makeup and Photo began as “Transformations By Gina” in 2000, and was renamed in 2015 to allow for franchising. I have had over 25 years of experience as a photographer and makeup artist. I have spent most of my early years working in the music industry as a concert/music photographer and magazine publisher. I received my makeup certification in 2004 from the prestigious Westmore Academy of Cosmetic Arts in Burbank, California. I have been working within the Trans/CD community for more than 17 years in Los Angeles, and many more in Denver prior to that. I am an extremely understanding, compassionate, and enthusiastic G.G. that loves my work and my girls. I pride myself not only on my work, but on my excellent reputation as well! My girls are more than clients; they are my sisters!! |
Expect to spend anywhere from 4 to 5 hours for your session. You may schedule your appointment by either emailing me directly (gina@TsTransitions.com), texting 818-738-8711, or you may schedule by going to the "Contact Us" page on this site, where you may use the "Request Appointment" form. Please be sure to leave your contact info. If you are not comfortable with leaving a telephone number, just leave an email address and I will contact you shortly. Please be patient. I get a LOT of emails. It may take a couple of days to hear back from me. I will do my best to schedule your appointment to fit YOUR time availability, but it will always depend on how busy I am that week. You will be asked to place a small deposit to insure your commitment, and it will be applied toward your balance. Please visit the "Rates" page on this site for a complete list of services and rates. You should arrive UNSHAVEN with NO MAKEUP. If you must shave that day, you may be asked to shave again, depending on the rate of your beard growth. If you do arrive with makeup on, you will be asked to remove it. You may arrive in girl OR boy mode. Since you will be here for a good amount of time, you may want to bring a snack, or have a good meal prior to your arrival. You may bring your favorite music, wine, or anything else to make you feel more comfortable. You are also welcome to bring a friend, as long as he or she does not interfere with the shoot. If you are coming for a makeup lesson, please do not bring anyone unless you ask me prior to the lesson! |
YOUR PHOTOS Once you have selected all three of your outfits for the shoot, we will begin your makeup application. This takes about an hour. Once the makeup has been applied, then we will begin shooting. You may choose to be photographed inside in the studio, or you may wish to go outdoors. If you have a specific location in mind, please make suitable arrangements with me in advance. I encourage you to bring any favorite "props" you may want to be photographed with, such as a favorite necklace, flower, pillow, etc. A NOTE ON EROTICISM: If you have ideas of an erotic nature for your shoot, then we can discuss that. I do erotic photo shoots quite often. Whatever you would like to do in your photos is fine with me as long as you don't expect my participation!! I have a very strict "hands off the photographer" policy! When we are finished shooting, you may choose to have me remove your makeup, or you may choose to keep it on so you can go out on the town. Or you may prefer to remove the makeup yourself. Since I have done this so many times, it may be quicker to have me do it! At the end of your session, you will be given a DVD with about 100-200 high-quality digital images on it (DEPENDING ON WHICH PACKAGE YOU BOOK, OF COURSE). You will be asked to go home and view the photos, and choose 10-15 of your favorites for me to retouch with Photoshop. You may call me with your list, but it's best to send me an email. I will then retouch your photos, and email them back to you via Dropbox or WeTransfer. I hope to see you soon!!! Hugs and Kisses, Gina Jet |
