Today we’d like to introduce you to Tiffanee Buffalo.
Tiffanee, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I’ve always been a lover of beauty, fashion, and arts. During college years, I modeled for locals boutiques and stylists. This piqued my interest in makeup and later photography. The art of makeup has always been fascinating to me. Transforming a woman’s look into an exquisite work of art and later capturing her beauty in still mode was a gift I sought to master.
I began working in the bridal industry assisting local artists with bridesmaids beauty and later launched my own mobile hair and makeup company, Adorned Beauty. After five years, I bought my first Nikon camera and never looked back. Today, I pride myself in bringing out the essence of a woman. Her beauty, style, pizzaz, is captured whether it’s maternity, family, business, or a self-love session.
Makeup makeovers followed by glam sessions is what I love!
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No road in life is ever smooth. There are always obstacles and learning curves along the way. Technology is ever changing and so is the beauty industry.
A lot of time is spent learning and growing as an artist. It’s true that you never stop learning but this is dire today as we have to continuously learn how to be better than our clients. Most people today have great camera phones, editing apps with filters that can make them look like a beauty queen. Thanks to YouTube, they also know a lot about makeup. So I have to constantly evaluate my skills to make sure I am adding value to my sessions.
My advice to those just starting out is to do your research. Really look at what is already out there and decide how you could be better. What will make you stand out? Especially in such a saturated market where everyone is a photographer.
Please tell us more about your work, what you are currently focused on and most proud of.
My job is to help foster confidence and self-love in women and young girls. We could all use a little boost sometimes! Seeing ourselves at our best and glowing through a reel of images is a truly amazing experience. I love the smiles, tears and gawking looks my clients give when they see their images on screen and in print. It makes my heart smile knowing I have helped someone feel great!
It would be great to hear about any apps, books, podcasts or other resources that you’ve used and would recommend to others.
One of my favorite blogs is one that I author, Venuscode.love. This blog is the essence of what I do and love. Each event and job I do, I always get asked so many questions about makeup, staying in shape, business, motherhood, etc. I have then decided to create a source of inspiration for the modern woman. A woman that strives to exude beauty, love, strength, and prosperity.
