The Registry

I'm a Texan who found my way up to the Hudson Valley via Brooklyn in 2015. I love working on all kinds of graphic design projects, but my specialty is webdesign and illustration.

Shannon Greer was born a poor hillbilly in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas then raised on the mean streets of 1970's New York City. He is one of the few Americans to have a European airport and a river named after him. He loves Indian Cuisine, Napa Valley Reds and Dark Chocolate. When not photographing, he likes nothing better than body surfing in the ocean and training for his future black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

One of the things I love most about my job is that each day and job bring a unique challenge and a new story. My days range from producing, designing sets, scouting locations and art directing along with styling shoots for a diverse list of clients. I grew up in a creative household with a mother who was a puppeteer and a father who was a photographer and owned a movie theater in a church in Woodstock NY. I literally grew up in the movie theater watching art films every night with my dog, Harpo. I have been designing for as long as I can remember—first creating clothes for Barbie and later for myself, as well as constantly redecorating my room. Never imagining it would all lead to this career. At 20, while studying fashion and display design at Parsons, I started Woojee Wear, a line of kids clothing sold across the country in boutiques and department stores. From there I grew to realize that my true interests were in creating images and began my work as a freelance stylist.

From the early age of 10, Marie-Josée has been fascinated with makeup. Using a blend of coloring crayons and her mother’s makeup, she began adding shapes and color onto famous people’s images, making this her very first makeup assignment. “She couldn’t wait for her father to finish reading his newspapers so that she could redesign all the printed faces”. Influenced by her mother’s artistic sensibilities ~ a trained classical pianist who would often bring her along to enjoy rehearsals of classical recitals, she fell in love with the colorful costumes, the extravagant wigs and the over-the-top makeup looks. Marie-Josée began working as a makeup artist whilst studying Fashion Design/Fashion Merchandising in Montréal. At age 16, designers would seek her creativity to created makeup looks for their upcoming fashion shows. Known for her flawless dewy skin with an edge of color, Marie-Josée’s signature style has gained her considerable recognition in the industry. She understands the need to achieve perfect beauty, to be glamorous while celebrating a radiant skin. It is not surprising that she added her own skincare line to the mix. She believes that a healthy glowing skin is the first step toward achieving her signature look. Her French skincare line Odièle is 100% natural, organic and cruelty-free. It’s the functional indulgence for a girl on the go – effortless, effective, and dripping luxury and in conjunction with her makeup, it creates a finished dewy look that last for hours without ever looking dull or dry. An art, music and nature lover, an outdoor enthusiast, conservationist and an animal activist, Marie-Josée’s friendly personality and witty sense of humour along with her exceptional talent are the key-ingredients that will continue to bring her success in beauty, fashion and life. Marie-Josée resides in New Paltz and NYC.
