about us
Behind the lens and the brush is Thuy, known to her clients as "Twee", a photographer and makeup artist who believes confidence is the foundation of every great image.
Thuy founded Makeup & Photos by Twee in 2015 and it has since evolved into a career centered on storytelling, community, connection, and authenticity. In her local community, Thuy is an ambassador for Foster Care Closet, she volunteers with the Rise Program to provide professional headshots to graduates of the business academy, and participates in many local initiatives. A pickleball enthusiast, Thuy is active in the Lincoln Pickleball community, served on the Pickleball Lincoln Board of Directors and teaches at Let's Pickle. Community and Connection are core values embodied by Thuy in both her career and personal life.
​
Photography and makeup artistry naturally intersect in Thuy’s work.
Her understanding of light, skin, and expression allows her to create images that feel
polished yet completely natural. Makeup is never about changing how you look,
it’s about enhancing what’s already there so you feel
comfortable, confident, and camera-ready.
​
Every session is intentionally relaxed and guided,
making the experience just as meaningful as the final images.
Personal Brands, Photography, & Makeup Artistry
Thuy specializes in personal branding sessions, family photography, senior portraits, and professional makeup artistry, offering a full, thoughtfully guided experience designed to help clients look and feel their best. Personal branding sessions are crafted for entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals who want imagery that reflects who they are and where they’re going, with makeup artistry available to support a clean, confident, and intentional brand presence. Family sessions focus on connection and genuine moments, with natural makeup options available to enhance features while keeping the overall look timeless and authentic. Senior sessions celebrate individuality and confidence during this once-in-a-lifetime milestone, with optional professional makeup services available to create a polished, camera-ready look. Makeup artistry services are also available as a standalone offering or as part of any session, tailored to each client’s comfort level, style, and vision.
No two sessions are ever the same, because no two people or stories are alike.
