Natural Elegance ✨

Alla’s wedding makeup was all about enhancing her natural beauty with a radiant, dewy finish. The vibe is soft and true to her style but still very bridal.

Working with Alla was such a pleasure. She’s beautiful, smart and a joy to be around. I’m so happy I was able to create her perfect bridal look for her!

I love specializing in creating looks that are effortlessly you. It’s such a beautiful feeling seeing women feel so comfortable, natural, and happy on their wedding day 🤍

The dreamiest bride ✨🌙

Christina flew all the way from New York for her wedding on the total solar eclipse, and it was such a magical day set in the coolest old mansion!!

Her makeup was definitely more bridal and a little heavier than her normal, but still true to her everyday look with the most beautiful glowy finish ✨

Peek at her hair in the last few slides 😍 it had such a whimsical vibe! I couldn’t leave out the bluebonnets, they were in full bloom and decorating the entire property 🪻

The whole day was perfection! Intimate, beautiful, and unforgettable.

It’s a girl! 💖

Ruddy was literally ✨glowing✨ at her baby shower, and I love the combination of pinks we used to match her party.

From the soft, rosy cheeks to the perfect pink shimmers, everything came together so beautifully!!

It was a pleasure to see Ruddy’s excitement and to be part of such a joyful occasion 🌸 I hope motherhood is everything you were wanting 🫶🏼

Rosy Soft Glam 🌹

This makeup look will forever have a special place in my heart!!!

I had so much fun getting Catherine ready for her best friend’s wedding day. Her eyes are absolutely gorgeous, and the pink tones were perfect for making them pop 💖

A soft glam makeup look is perfect for you if you wear makeup on a regular basis, love brighter pops of colors and prefer a medium to full coverage!

Natural Bridal Glam 💍

Julia’s wedding day look was a dream come true!

We opted for a natural glam vibe, with pops of color on her eyes and lips, and a satin-smooth finish to her skin.

To complete the look, I styled her hair with glam waves that perfectly matched the vibe ✨

It’s always amazing to be part of unforgettable moments like this and help bring my brides’ visions to life 💖

Sleek and Voluminous Updo ✨

Abby wanted a sleek, attention-grabbing look with big, fluffy face-framing bangs. She also wanted to keep the vibe clean, and this is what I created!! 🫶🏼

Her dimensional hair color really made this updo pop, adding beautiful depth to the overall hairstyle.

Feel like this could be your next updo? Save this look for later! 😍

Swipe ➡️ to the end to see the face framing from the front! I managed to catch a quick pic of Abby before I left for the day did a great job on her makeup 😊

🩷🌸✨ 26 looks good on me ✨🌸🩷

I took self portraits for my birthday to honor myself and my life, because as imperfect as it is, it’s equally as amazing. I am so lucky to live the life I love and I never take that honor lightly.

This year has been all about self love, and it has shifted my perspective on life intensely. I am smart, kind, and beautiful and so excited for what life still has to offer me 🫶🏼

What are you most excited about in your life right now?! I’d love to hear about it!! 🥰

AND big shoutout to my husband, Brody, who makes every birthday so special. Not a day goes by that I don’t know how much you love me 🤍 he also helped me with the flowers and pictures! Truly my biggest supporter 😘

Tousled Bridal Hairstyle 🧡

Abbie’s wedding day has come and gone, and it was so much fun working with her to create this stunning hairstyle for her big day!

She opted to leave all of her hair down, so I styled it with voluminous tousled waves for a full, effortless look. To achieve maximum fullness, I used clip-in extensions.

💡 Did you know that during your booking consultation, I offer a hair-extension consult? I provide clip-in recommendations based on your hair color and bridal hairstyle goals!

Abbie was initially nervous about finding extensions to match her beautiful strawberry blonde hair, but I always make it happen for my brides 🫶🏼

Natural glam on Lauren 💗 who made a gorgeous bridesmaid!!

She gave me creative freedom and this is what I came up with! Her dress is a soft green and her eyes are blue so I gravitated towards warm pink vibes to really make her eyes and skin pop ✨

I honestly couldn’t pick between these pictures - so you get all of them!!

Now that you’re engaged 💍 —————>>


I recommend booking a professional hair & makeup artist for your engagement photoshoot! 💄📸

Kendall was a joy to work with and is such a warm spirited person and we clicked so well! (She gives 🧡 orange aura vibes, it’s amazing)

I’m so happy that I was able to be a part of her engagement shoot; and I’m SO excited for her bridal portraits and wedding day 👰🏼‍♀️⛪️

These were Kendall’s requests for her engagement shoot look:

1. She wanted to look like herself but with a touch of glam (definitely more on the natural side)
2. She wanted a clean, soft & elegant vibe
3. She asked for a half-up hairstyle that had some wispiness but not too much texture

Working with her was a blast 🎉 and I’m so excited for our upcoming sessions!

• Cleanliness of Tools: Ensure that your artist uses visibly clean and sanitized brushes, sponges, and other tools for each client.
