The calm before the “I do”. One of my favorite moments when doing makeup- the bride is almost ready, everyone stops asking questions and the room gets a little quiet because the magic is happening soon.🤍

Hair and makeup trial for this beautiful September bride 🤍 she let me do my thing and barely gave me any direction but I think she turned out perfect🙏🤍 As artists we see so many faces, themes, vibes etc. We look at you and already have an inspo in our head, so when the bride lets us take the wheel it feels too good 🫶

This is one goes out to all my brides still in the makeup trial process! This is MY first makeup trial for my wedding-I thought I wanted something more soft, natural, not super dramatic. However, after I looked at myself I wanted more! The makeup is beautiful and I felt beautiful in it (and if you know me, you know this makeup is very me), however after the trial I realized I needed more for my wedding day. So, now I’m doing maybe 1-2 more trials. It’s not wrong to need more than one trial and it doesn’t mean the makeup artist isn’t for you or that you’re super picky. I myself as a makeup artist didn’t know right off the bat what I wanted, let alone girls that aren’t in the makeup field. Your wedding makeup is important and shouldn’t be compromised. You are doing so much for this one day, an extra trial or two isn’t excessive if it means loving the final look. 🤍

As the days get warmer and longer, all I can feel is wedding season creeping up! ☀️ beyond excited for summer 2026 to glam all of my brides but also because I finally get to be a bride as well, and not having to carry my kit+an extra 40 pounds being pregnant 🤍🤍🤍 still have some available Saturdays in my calendar for those of you brides (like me) struggling to find a last minute vendor! 🥂

Olivia, your Christmas wedding was perfect 🤍 Loved creating this look with you! For Olivia’s trial we tried two different looks on each side of her face to really narrow down what exact look she wanted for the big day. I am so happy with how perfect it came out! Cheers to you and the end of bridal season 2025🤍

A moment for the French twist and this beautiful couple 🤍
One of my favorite looks for a bride-a romantic, lived in French twist.

I don’t know how you do what you do, but you make every bridal shoot a fairytale 🤍

Hair and makeup by me

This maternity shoot was extra special because I had the honor of doing my little sister’s makeup for such a meaningful moment. Loved creating this glowing beach look with you and I can’t wait to meet our little girl and do her makeup one day 🤍💗
