Mobile boutique & photo studio

www.sheilalussier.com

My name is Sheila Lussier

      I am many things; (former model, published writer, actor, photographer, director, producer, & business owner)

     I have always been the creative one who thinks outside the box! I started loving fashion at a very young age, designing & sewing my own creations and then selling them.

      At the young age of 12 I started modeling professionally.  After graduating high school early at the age of 17 I then went to fashion school at The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising while continuing my modeling career.

     I soon started working as an actor. I am a  member of the Screen Actors Guild & American Federation of Television and Radio Artist.  I have done national TV commercials, AD campaigns, Day-time TV, voice-overs, films, print work, and national conventions.

     Photography seemed to naturally come next using my years of experience in front of the camera. and my fondness for photography I then decided to pick up a camera being hired as a professional photographer and videographer for various types of shoots, TV shows, and commercials. I’m also a trained professional make-up artist. I love all mediums of creating and self- expression.

     
     I then put many of my skills together being hired as a stylist & make-up artist for events and photo shoots. I've worked with child- actors, adult actors both (male and female), models & musicians. Shooting a wide rage of photos.

     I also wrote a booklet on, “How To Get Your Children Into Show Biz.” I currently have a new version of that book which is available now on hwww.amazon.com as a downloadable E-Book.

     I am also a professional producer and director so of my work includes TV Commercials, TV shows, and documentaries.  My first documentary was  produced along the sidelines of the  great late Mr. James Brown during the last years of his life titled, “Life On The Road With Mr. & Mrs. James Brown.”

      I also have currently own and operate an online store that sells ladies fashions, accessories, jewelry, custom designed & vintage items as well. 

During my busy life, I have also managed to raise three kids who are now fine young adults while always keeping busy volunteering in my community and other causes. 

     I'd like to be able to take my years of experience & talents on the road to help others. Starting with the women of America by bringing my fashion boutique, and full-service photo studio on wheels to them.  I'm capable of doing so much and to be mobile that would make it so much easier!  I could also generate an income with my new mobile capabilities when I wasn't using it for volunteering by incorporating my online store and by using my Photography skills for such mobile services: Christmas cards, family portraits, family pets, headshots for acting, glamor shots & modeling photos…band photos & more... I am a licensed photographer with Getty Images and have been doing photography for over a couple of decades now.  I've worked with some of the top national musical acts this world has to offer. Such as Kiss, The Scorpions, Dio, Inxs, Eddie Money, The band Warrant and many others. 



    Having a mobile boutique and photo studio would give me capabilities that I do not presently have. I make it easier for myself and a group of others to do the volunteering I'd like to do at various events for young women such as girls who need financial assistance with a prom dress and make-up and hair for prom night. I believe all girls should be able to feel and look their best at some of their lives most memorable milestones. I know I can't help everyone but I would like to be able to help as many as I possibly can.  At back to work expos, battered women's shelters. I would be able to provide my services more sufficiently to women in need! Giving back is a big part of my life, and I'd love to be able to do this! Being mobile would make this possible for me and a team of others. I could provide some women with complimentary make-up lessons, photo-shoot, &  help with doing their resume and a new outfit. This would be something I could incorporate my friends in the entertainment business in and the world of fashion in as well in so many aspects!  I believe in doing what you can to help others and this would only help me help them. 

     I'd also like to volunteer at high schools for teen age-girls & their prom night. By helping the less fortunate girls who might not be able to even attend prom otherwise.  I would like to be able to provide the girls with a donated prom dress, and complimentary make-up lesson. I would be able to have sponsors help me with this as well!

Please help my vision become my reality!
