Show Notes
In this episode I’m diving into something a little different. I recently worked on a two-day advertising shoot for Toyota, and I want to take you behind the scenes. I’ll share how I landed the job through a long-time photographer connection, the preparation involved, set etiquette, and how I handle invoicing for these types of jobs.
You’ll get an inside look at the entire process—from the initial hold to the final billing. I’ll walk you through day one, which was packed with prepping six talent, and day two, which was a breeze with just three talent. I’ll also discuss how I manage my time on set and adapt when things don't quite go as planned.
Whether you’re new to the industry or just curious about how commercial jobs work, you will definitely enjoy this episode.

This is the final episode of the Artist to Artist podcast. After 60 episodes, I'm putting the podcast on hiatus to focus my mentorship energy inside the membership, where I can go deeper with artists building sustainable careers.
Before you set any goals for 2026, you need to assess where you actually are right now. Most makeup artists skip this step and wonder why nothing changes year after year.
If you're waiting until January to start planning your next year, you're already behind.
If you've been sending DMs to photographers and vendors and getting nothing back, this episode is going to change how you think about networking forever.
Speed is a non-negotiable in this industry, but it doesn't mean sacrificing quality or cutting corners on hygiene. In this episode, I break down the myths self-taught and new makeup artists believe about working fast, share the moment I realized speed was actually a skill, and walk through the systems that let you work efficiently without ever putting client safety at risk.
