Hi babes, I'M BACK! I took a little hiatus from booking weddings (though I was still helping a few MUA friends and pampering dozens of bridal parties) to enjoy some time with my family and baby girl, but I'm excited to announce that I am opening my calendar back up and booking weddings for the remaining of 2023 through Spring 2024.

If you know someone looking for bridal or special occasion makeup, please tag them below! I'm offering $20 off a bridal service for my first 5 brides who book.

Love a good transformation!

Skin perfecting and color correcting while still looking natural for this beautiful maid of honor. You don't need a ton of heavy, cakey makeup to cover imperfections and look flawless!

“You know what they say … The eyes are the ni***es of the face.” PLEASE tell me someone knows that movie!!$ 🤣 One of my favorites.

Another favorite is doing eye makeup. Loved doing this beauty’s soft, smokey eye with a berry lip! 🤩

"I want to look like myself, just a little more glam." That's what I hear from most of my brides, and I love it. My favorite makeup style for brides is "you, but enhanced."

Keep that in mind when guiding your makeup artist for your big day! I promise in ten+ years you'll want to be able to look back at your wedding pictures and recognize the woman in the photo (and love the way she looks 😉).

Happy new year, beauties! I've done an absolutely terrible job updating this page, but I'm still here and it's my resolution to post more often :). I am currently booking dates for 2021, but limiting to only two weddings/events a month due to COVID. Please DM me for booking info!
