Getting my photo albums tidied up usually reminds me of how many photos I have but haven't posted. Time to change that 🫣

Thank you 2025 🤍

And even bigger THANK YOU and congratulations to all my 2025 brides!

This wedding season was the busiest one yet and I loved every second. I also received so many 'thank you' cards from brides this year that I needed to find a bigger box to start collecting them in, and which one was better than the one from my sister's wedding 🥰 The notes that have been written for me are sweeter than I can say, and they're something that makes being a bridal makeup artist so special to me. Thank you 🤍

Bonus - after my last 2025 wedding this morning, I finally opened the mail to find the sweetest photos tucked in with a Christmas card from my childhood best friend, who's makeup I had the honor to do last October 🥹 I'm so grateful to be closing out the year with these memories.

Thank you again and again to everyone who made 2025 so beautiful for me. I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for all of us 🤍✨️
