Not too long ago, I was getting tired of the white walls in my studio. I felt like I was working in an office all day long, and I needed to feel like I was at home! I reached out to Ruby Hahn to create something colorful, bold, and fun in my studio, and believe me when I tell you I couldn’t have made a better choice! Working with Ruby was a dream. She is so kind, creative, and fun, and worked with my vision and needs every step of the way.
I knew I wanted something that matched my brand and my studio. We pulled color ideas from my rug, my bouquet for my makeup table, and my brand colors, then Ruby came up with a couple more colors to tie it all together.
After a consultation and seeing the design Ruby came up with, Ruby got hard to work! This piece was a little bit different than what she is used to, but I loved watching her process and methodology!
More and more was added after each session with Ruby, and I knew I definitely wanted to capture every moment possible in between the start and finish.
Even part way through the process, I could see our vision coming to life! I was stoked every single time I say the results from a session, and I wanted to show everyone so badly!
Ruby took a lot of protective measures to prevent any accidental spills on the floor or accidental design flaws! This one was a fun challenge for her, and she used so much masking tape while she was here!
My kids were just as excited as I was about the colorful, fun design. Bowser was pretty stoked too!
As we were getting down to the last leg, I couldn’t hold in my excitement anymore. I had a few clients in the studio, and the mural was mostly finished so I did actually post a couple pictures in my Instagram story before Ruby’s last session, and now you can see why I was so excited!
My hair and makeup corner used to be plain and boring, but now it’s one of my favorite spots in the whole studio! I’m so excited that I have a fun space for my makeup artist and my clients to be before each shoot.
Check out the before and after!
We are so grateful to Ruby for her hard work and willingness to take on a project outside of her usual. My studio feels so much more like home now, and I enjoy my work even more now!
You can always see more of Ruby’s work on her Instagram page, on her website, and downtown right here in Billings.
