It’s OFFICIALLY wedding season over here…and it started with a BANG!! 💥🙌🏽

Looking forward to a great year ahead! 🤍💍

I kicked off the 2nd day of 2026 with this stunning bride & her sweet ladies standing right beside her…if this is how the year started, I’m excited for what God has planned for the rest of the year!! 👰🏻💍🤍🎉

What an amazing day…slinging faces back to back while simultaneously watching a whole crew of ladies dancing to a reception play list like they were in the club!! 😂🤣 100/100 recommend! 🤭

It’s been a season y’all…in the absolute BEST way!!! 🥰💕🫶🏽

The **POWER** of a bridal trial.

Occasionally I will have a bride who asks not to have a bridal trial…whether for financial reasons or for time. The truth is, I will ALWAYS push for a trial!! lt not only allows for a bride to feel her most confident on her wedding day, but it also allows for ME to feel just as confident knowing that I know exactly what to do. It’s just as much for me as it is for the bride. 🤍

Example: these photos. Took 2 months apart. I walked in, her face familiar, tweaked what needed to be tweaked, and BAM 💥……AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING BRIDE!!! 👰🏼✨

Her confidence said what words couldn’t. She walked in as a bride-to-be…and walked out owning every inch of the room. Makeup & hair done, wedding dress on, heart full, confidence radiating. It wasn’t just about looking beautiful — it’s about feeling confident, powerful, ready, and absolutely unforgettable. 💄✨

So although the price may be a little steeper than budgeted, always ALWAYS get the trial. You’ll never regret getting one because 10/10 times it will ALWAYS come out better on wedding day!! 😉😉

Yesterday was a looong one…in 100+ degree weather. Woke up at 2:30am and started glamming at 5am!!! 💄💋

But these women were a dream to work with & spend the day with.

Wouldn’t trade the early mornings for anything else. My cup runneth over…🥹♥️

It’s been a little busy around here during wedding season!! 🫶🏽

But I wanted to post some recent ✨BEAUTIES✨ I’ve done and out together. Shoutout to my recent bride Abby for getting married last Friday and starting law school TODAY…talk about a full plate coming off of planning an entire wedding!!! 😳🤯😂

Such a fun bridal party & day…I couldn’t have been more pleased with the day and the makeup we came up with. I will never get over what I get to do for work…I will never take it for granted or the brides/returning clients who entrust me with their most special days!!!

Another shoutout to my girl Kat for booking me again along side her sweet momma for her brothers wedding. What a fun morning we had!! 🥰

I often get asked by my brides/MOTB/bridesmaids if I love what I do…if I get tired of waking up at 2am or 3am to come glam a bunch of people??

My answer is and always will be, never.

Yes, sometimes waking up at those hours stink, but if you know me or been around me during wedding season, you know that I mentally prepare myself an entire day before any wedding which means…I get up early the day before, I make no plans the day before a wedding, I sanitize my kit & wash all my brushes so they are freshly clean, I pack my car, and am in bed about 7pm. And I do that so that I’m fully awake & present for your big day!!! 💍🤍

I say “No” a lot during wedding season too. The days are long and I have to be “on” from the second I arrive on site. This job means everything to me and I don’t take a second of it for granted.

Brides have a million artists that they can choose from, so when they decide to book me, I take it very personal. And it is an honor. So to answer again, no never. I love what I do & the brides who decide to work with me. They put a lot of trust into me and that’s just something I don’t take lightly or for granted. 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

These people ⬇️ are no exception…2 back to back weddings over the weekend. Sore back, but extremely full heart!! ♥️

I didn’t get all the pictures I wanted too, but 10 faces done & 6 hair do’s!! 😉

Who says a bride has to be of a certain age?! 💍🤍

I had this precious sweet pea reach out to me for bridal services because she found her 2nd chance at love. 🥰 When she reached out to me she included EVERYTHING I ever wanted…the story of her & her sweetheart, pictures of the both of them, and ideas for hair. This woman was definitely a bride with a vision! 😉

When she came to me, she had verrry thin hair…to the point I could see her scalp when her hair was down. She wanted it up for sure and even had inspo pics for me! After playing around with it, this is what we came up with!! She was thrilled and so was I!! 🙌🏽 Thin hair where?!? 😉

Can’t wait for the big day later this month!! 🤍🤍🤍

**I did not do her makeup in this photo**

Hello friends! 👋🏽

It’s been quite a bit of a busy season for us and I am pretty behind in posting bridal content. So I figured I’d post some recent work…brides, bridesmaids, and a couple in between glam sessions!! 🖌️🎨💄✨

Wedding season is definitely in FULL swing over here! 💍🤍

This last weekend I had the opportunity to glam Leia for her senior prom. I did her makeup back in January for her senior photos, so I was honored to be asked to come back to glam her for her prom!! 👸🏿

The goal was for her to feel beautiful & confident…and I believe we executed that by her reaction when I gave her the mirror to look at the final glam!! 🥹

I promise you, that is THEE BEST part of my job…the reactions!! 🥰

I thank her mom, Tai for trusting me with her beautiful daughter!! It was an honor! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

…when your client finally sends you her professional head shot photos and thanks you for the glam and making the photos!! 🥹💕

I’m OBSESSED. 🥰

Thank you Katherine for trusting me with your makeup & hair for this important shoot…it is always a pleasure & I can’t wait for our next glam session!! 💄✨📸
