Nashville Lifestyles

Fall is finally among us!!! In light of the season, we thought that we would spice things up! MaxArtCreative and Nashville Lifestyles magazine have been teaming up frequently for some awesome stories. First, in the September issue, Michael Gomez (photographer), Tina Davis (makeup), Lori Zachary (hair) Samantha Roe (wardrobe stylist), and Whitney Lloyd (assistant) did an Italian story that gave us all a head’s up on what we can expect to be wearing when that fall weather finally arrives. Then for the October issue look out for the “Holiday Makeup” story that Michael Gomez (photographer), Tina Davis (makeup), Samantha Roe (styling), Whitney Lloyd (manicurist), and John G. of Streets Salon (hair) all collaborated on to show Nashville how to powder their noses for the holiday seasons!

Christmas at Union Station

Santa’s coming to town already??? Well, maybe not, but it was “Christmas at Union Station” when the Gospel Music Channel, Tangible Vision, and MaxArtCreative got together for an amazing production. There were Christmas Carols being sung by some of the top artists of the Christian circuit, and it was enough for just about anyone to get in the holiday spirit. Tina Davis, Samantha Roe, Megan Thompson, Joseph Cassell and the assistants (Kelly Greene Jaclyn, Carly, and Whitney Lloyd) worked with the artist to get the perfect look for the season! The MaxArtCreative team certainly looks forward to working with the Gospel Music Channel and Tangible Vision for other projects in the future.

Jon Wolfe

Music City can never have too many stars... Jon Wolfe, a hot up and coming country artist with Midas Records worked with the MaxArtCreative team recently.
