Aphrodite Salon

I dunno…kinda a sucker for a post surfing updo. 100% lived in luxe.

Felt like the updo I made for should live on the grid foreva eva.

Also, that color *chefs kiss* .blonde (spoiler alert- that’s me). 😆

Created using , skills and love.

This shoot ignited my soul. Truly, is a visionary. Any time I get lucky enough to work with her, it’s just magic.

Thank you, Emily for dreaming this one up with me.

Love to you all who made it happen:

As seen on

Last September I got to flex my creative muscles, which became increasingly atrophied in the time of COVID.

The results? A brilliant mix of coastal, beachy goodness. If these photos don’t capture my aesthetic, nothing else ever will. Dom, beautiful flowers, ocean whimsy and lived in bridal hair. It’s me. 🤍

Oh baby, baby...

Please tell me you sang that like Britney?!

Today is my last day in the salon for a few months. Of course I’m feeling all the feels (I mean I am pregnant after all). While I will be sad to not see my wonderful, supportive and amazing clients/friends I am very excited to start this new chapter in life; the welcoming of our sweet Baby Girl.

I’ll likely be pretty MIA as December rolls around. Once I have a date as to when I will be back in the salon, I’ll keep you all posted.

If you are a current client or 2021 couple, I did send out an email with maternity leave info yesterday. It came via newsletter and may have ended up in your SPAM folder. Please take a look.

On another note, thank you to the undeniably wonderful for taking these images. I’m so grateful to you for capturing so many of my life’s special moments. It means the world to me to have you be such an amazing part of my life.

Love you all. ❤️

From last year. Still think about it. Fall wedding were always my favorite.

Pretty obsessed with this messy, sea inspired updo creation. All I wanted was that salty beach texture with a touch of ethereal goodness. May have nailed it.
Can’t wait to see the pro pics!

BOOK RIGHT NOW.
Use that email feature right on my bio or click on the website and contact through there.
So easy.

My maternity leave starts Thanksgiving Day so my books are almost full. If you can’t make it in, I can put you on my waitlist for when I’m back, which will be April (which is a long time from now).

Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

TWO. YEARS.
Happy Anniversary to my generous, loving and kind husband .
Marrying you next to the bones of your ancestors, in a place of such scared meaning- was the most hallowing and loving experience I’ve had in my many lifetimes. I’d marry you every day.
While the life of a Merchant Marine’s Wife is filled with many momentous moments marked alone (today not being an expectation) I’m thankful to you for the sacrifices you make, while being away from your family, to make sure we are always taken care of.
This year we will welcome our long awaited first child. While it felt like a lifetime had past before we got to this moment- I’m so glad it’s finally here. I cannot wait to bring her to Scotland, so she can see what all the magic is about.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been personally victimized by a curly updo gone wrong?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Don’t worry, I’ve got you! I LOVE incorporating your natural texture into your wedding day look. It’s, honestly, one of my favorite things!

Now tell me- what’s your dream wedding day look?! 💗
