I am a freelance photographer specializing in weddings and portraits.

My passion is to enhance beauty and make people feel good about themselves. I aim to capture both candid and perfectly posed images, and have been doing so for the past 6 years. I also have a background in makeup artistry, modeling, graphic design, painting, and other art forms. I consider myself a true artist. Because of my experience both behind and in front of the camera, and knowledge of desig

n and editing, I am able to give my clients the experience and quality they deserve: I offer outfit and accessory styling, makeup application, hair styling, advanced photo retouching, custom announcement and holiday card design, and always give helpful direction during sessions to make everyone feel confident and comfortable. MAKEUP
Makeup is FUN. Makeup is a passion of mine and because of it, I get the opportunity to meet wonderful people and help them see how truly beautiful and unique they are- with or without makeup! I specialize in bridal and beauty, but also have experience in fashion, editorial, and commercial. I stay on top of the latest fashion trends to bring fresh ideas to my clients, while understanding that each person has a unique style and taste. I consult with my clients to work out a look that they feel confident and beautiful in, and even encourage them to step out of thier comfort zone and try something new! These are the moments that allow us to enjoy the FUN with makeup. I also have a love for hair care and styling and have worked with many brides and other clients for their special occasion. From cutting edge to classic beauty, I aim to deliver the best quality in hair and makeup products, application, and design.

The beautiful Sophia! We went with very natural bridal makeup for this pretty girl and paired it with sculpted Hollywood waves. 😍 Since rain was in the forecast, extra hold hairspray and smoothing products definitely came in handy. Thankfully, she told me afterward that everything held up beautifully despite the weather. 🙌🏻

One thing I always do after trial runs is take detailed notes for myself to revisit later. On the wedding day, we reviewed those notes, kept almost everything the same, and just made a couple small tweaks.

So I thought I’d share a little peek into my trial notes. Just a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into creating a custom bridal look. (And yes… I write these notes in a way future me will understand 😆)

“Incredibly sweet! Very dry skin, used ultra hydrating skin prep to start. Has hormonal acne, so spot-concealed first and kept foundation sheer elsewhere. Nose area was red/dry (almost flaky), so softly exfoliated with moisturizer on a Q-tip, then used Silksphere airbrush makeup there. No false lashes, just mascara. Minimal, barely-there eyeshadow. Very light bronzer and blush. Clear brow gel only. Natural nude-pink lip. Trial was makeup only.

For wedding day hair: Forecast looks rainy. Use smoothing products + freeze hold hairspray to fight humidity.”

Soft glam updo 🤌🏻

A higher updo like this hairstyle looks amazing with these 2 neckline styles (in my personal opinion!):

1) a high neckline that mirrors the hairstyle’s lifted structure, such as a boatneck, or turtleneck or mock turtleneck, halter top, etc. This way, the neckline and fabric won’t compete with your hair. (this one is my personal fave)

2) a neckline that leave the chest and shoulders bare, such as strapless or off the shoulder. Paired with a high updo, the eyes are subconsciously drawn upward. It elongates the neck and gives a touch of elegance.

Gorgeous mother of the groom! Who else thinks she resembles Jane Fonda?? 😍

We did a hair + makeup trial to see what kind of look she’d like to have for the wedding, and I love how it turned out. Can’t wait for the real deal come August!
