Different Strokes Beauty

✨ Today was all about her. ✨

I had the pleasure of glamming up this beautiful mompreneur for her photoshoot, and it was such a reminder of how important it is for women, especially moms and business owners, to step in front of the camera and celebrate themselves.

As a photographer, she’s usually the one behind the lens, capturing precious memories, milestones, and special moments for so many families. Today, she took the time to pour a little of that love and attention back into herself, and I was honored to be a small part of that.

Not only is she gorgeous inside and out, but meeting her son and significant other made it clear where that warmth comes from. They were some of the most genuine, down-to-earth people, and I truly love when clients feel more like friends by the end of our time together.

Thank you for trusting me with your glam and allowing me to be part of your special day. You absolutely shined, and I can’t wait to see all the magic you created during your shoot. 💄✨📸

Go show this girl some love and follow her page ☺️

Still not over this maternity session 😍✨🖤

Getting to glam someone you’ve known and loved for nearly 20 years makes moments like this even more special. Rola has always been absolutely stunning inside and out, and watching her step into this beautiful season of motherhood now for the 3rd time with so much grace is everything.

I’m always so honored when she trusts me to be part of such important moments in her life, and this shoot? Pure magic. The elegance, the confidence, the glow… she absolutely embodied it all. 🖤

Thank you for always calling me when it’s time to feel your most beautiful. I’ll forever be in awe of this look and this incredible momma ✨

There’s something so special about getting a woman ready for a photoshoot that was planned by the person who loves her most 🤍

From the moment she sat in my chair, I could feel how loved and appreciated she is. Her husband surprised her with this beautiful shoot, and hearing the stories behind their 20+ years of marriage absolutely melted my heart. The kind of love that grows deeper with time, built on loyalty, laughter, friendship, and choosing each other over and over again.

Getting to do both her hair and makeup for this moment was such an honor. Watching her transform and seeing that confidence shine through the lens was pure magic ✨

before & after of this stunning beauty. Proof that when a woman feels loved, it radiates from the inside out 💕

Can’t wait to see the shots from 😍

Happy Birthday to this absolute SMOKE SHOW 🔥😍

I had the honor of doing her makeup for her bo***ir session and let me just say… she is the definition of confidence, beauty, and badass energy 👏✨

Not only is she stunning, but she’s also a mama to 3 beautiful girls AND a local business owner serving up the best teas and shakes around! Watching women like you balance it all while still showing up strong, beautiful, and inspiring is truly amazing.

Wishing you the biggest, happiest birthday today beautiful! You deserve all the love, celebration, and happiness today and always 💕🥳

There’s just something about prom season and the excitement that comes with it 🥹✨ I had the pleasure of glamming up these two beautiful besties this past weekend for their big day and they were every bit as sweet as they were stunning.

The excitement, the laughs, the little moments in between getting ready… it’s always one of my favorite parts of being a makeup artist. Watching girls light up when they see themselves all glammed up and feeling confident for such a special memory never gets old 🤍

These two were absolutely glowing and counting down every second until prom. I hope your night was filled with so many memories, laughs, and moments you’ll look back on forever 🫶🏼✨

One of the sweetest parts of this job is getting to watch these beautiful girls grow up right before my eyes 🥹 Last year I had the pleasure of glamming up beautiful Caelynn for her junior prom, and this year I got to be part of her senior prom all over again. It’s so bittersweet knowing this chapter is closing and the next one is just beginning.

This girl is so much more than a pretty face. She’s incredibly talented, especially in cheer, and already making big moves by getting onto her college cheer team 👏🏼 She has goals, ambition, and a drive that reaches far beyond what most young ladies her age are thinking about. Watching young women chase dreams and work hard for what they want is such a beautiful thing to witness.

And can we talk about this look?! That gorgeous teal dress paired with her beautiful bronzed skin and those stunning blue eyes… every single bit of it was a whole vibe 😍✨

But one of the most heartfelt moments for me had nothing to do with makeup. It was watching her mama doing her baby girl’s hair for her senior prom. Those moments… the ones where you realize time moves way too fast and these babies aren’t babies anymore… they’re the moments that hit you right in the heart 🥹🤍

Caelynn, keep shining beautiful girl. College is lucky to have you, and I already know you’re going to do amazing things ✨

Two weeks later and I’m still living in a dream 🥹✨ Receiving Best Makeup Artist of the Year through Local Luminaries still doesn’t feel real. I’m honestly still trying to put into words what this moment meant to me.

The gala that .2.zen with put together was absolutely out of this world…so much beauty, talent, passion, and local businesses all in one room celebrating one another. She created something so special, giving so many of us the opportunity to be seen, recognized, and supported by our community. Moments like that are bigger than awards… they remind you how powerful it is when people come together and lift each other up.

Thank you to for creating such a beautiful thing and for giving us all something so meaningful to share and celebrate. Thank you to every single friend, family member, and client who took the time to vote for me — your love and support never goes unnoticed and I wouldn’t be here without you.

And to my other half, Jerris … thank you for always being by my side, always cheering me on, believing in me even on the days I don’t fully believe in myself, and being there to watch me receive this award. That moment meant everything 🤍

Forever grateful. Forever humbled. Still feels like a dream ✨🏆

There’s something so special about being a part of a momma-to-be’s journey and helping her feel beautiful during such a precious season of life… but this one pulled at my heart a little extra 🥹

I’ve known this beautiful woman since high school, and there’s something so surreal and heartwarming about growing up together and then getting the honor of glamming her for such meaningful milestones in her life. Watching life come full circle like that is such a gift.

Now a stunning momma of 3, carrying so much love and so much beauty inside and out. Being trusted to help someone feel as beautiful as they truly are is something I never take lightly.

And that glow… that kind of glow comes from happiness, love, and the beautiful life she’s creating ✨

One year ago today, I had the absolute honor of being part of one of the most EPIC styled shoots ever ✨🤍

Three stunning couples, a room full of insanely talented wedding vendors, and so much creativity, passion, and love poured into every single detail. These beautiful souls trusted us to bring a vision to life, and watching it all come together felt like pure magic.

From the glam to the florals, the vibes to the laughter behind the scenes, this shoot reminded me why I love what I do so much. There’s something so special about artists coming together, feeding off each other’s creativity, and creating unforgettable moments out of nothing but a shared vision.

Forever grateful for every vendor, every model, every helping hand, and every little moment that made this day what it was 🥹✨ Cheers to one year since this masterpiece came to life.

Swipe to relive the magic 🤍
