Professional glam makeup application with soft lighting
  • The easiest way to book is directly through my website calendar. You can see available dates, choose your session type, and reserve your spot all in one place.

  • It depends on the type of session, but most clients book about 4–8 weeks out. Spring and fall tend to fill the fastest, and weekends usually go first because I normally am booked a year in advance for wedding makeup. If you’re on a timeline, I always say reach out anyway. Sometimes I can move things around.

  • Yes, a 50% retainer is required to reserve your date, with the remaining balance due before your session. This protects both of us and makes sure your time is fully dedicated to you.

  • Yes, travel availability varies by service. Travel and setup fees are not included and depend on location. Please reach out for details if travel is needed.

  • Life happens. If you need to reschedule, please provide as much notice as possible. Rescheduling policies and availability vary by service.

  • Absolutely. This is honestly one of the biggest reasons people book me. Most of my clients say they are nervous or not photogenic when they arrive. My job is to guide you through everything — posing, expressions, where to put your hands, how to stand, all of it. You will not be left wondering what to do. I coach you the entire time so you can just relax and be yourself. And...we will have FUN!

  • Once you book, I send guidance to help you prepare. In general, solid colors, layers, and textures photograph beautifully.

    If you’re unsure, you can always send me outfit options and I’ll help you choose. I want you to feel confident walking in the door (or outdoors if we shoot outside.

  • Most sessions include 1–3 outfits depending on your session type. I always recommend bringing one outfit you feel confident in and one that represents your personality or brand.

  • It’s totally optional. Some clients come fully styled, some do their own, and some keep it very natural. If you’re booking makeup with me, we’ll make sure everything looks cohesive and camera-ready.

  • Not at all. Makeup is always optional. That said, many clients love adding it because it helps them feel more confident and it photographs beautifully under professional lighting. My style is very much you, just elevated - never overdone unless you want it to be.

  • You are actually my favorite type of client. My approach is very natural and confidence-focused. I enhance what you already have so you still feel like yourself - just a little more polished and camera ready. Most people tell me afterward they still felt like themselves, just more confident.

  • Nothing complicated. Just come with a clean, moisturized face and avoid trying any new skincare right before your session. I handle the rest.

  • A relaxed, guided experience. We’ll talk, laugh, adjust things as we go, and I’ll coach you through everything. I care a lot about how people feel during their session, not just how the photos turn out. My goal is that you leave feeling more confident than when you walked in.

  • I combine professional photography with confidence coaching and, if you choose, professional makeup. You aren’t just getting photos. You’re getting guidance, encouragement, and someone paying attention to the details that help you look and feel your best. I built my studio around confidence and connection, and that shows up in how I take care of my clients.

  • Typically previews are ready within about 2-3 weeks depending on the session type and time of year.

  • Yes. Every selected image receives professional retouching. My editing style is clean and natural. I remove temporary distractions while keeping you looking like you.

  • Yes. All photography sessions include full copyright release for personal printing and sharing.

  • I want every person who walks into my studio to feel comfortable, confident, and seen. Beautiful photos matter, but how you feel during the experience matters even more to me.

  • To officially reserve your wedding date, a $500 non-refundable retainer (the bridal package) and signed contract are required. Once that retainer is paid, your date is exclusively yours. Because I only take a limited number of weddings each year, this retainer secures your spot on my calendar. Travel fees (if applicable) and additional services are added separately.

  • Yes. I require a minimum of 5 makeup services for wedding bookings (the bride plus four additional faces). This helps me reserve the date and dedicate the proper amount of time and preparation for your bridal party. If your group is smaller, you’re still welcome to book - the minimum investment would still apply.

  • Yes. I personally take up to 8 makeup services to maintain the quality, timing, and experience I want every bride and bridal party to have.

    If your bridal party has 9 or more services, a second professional makeup artist will be required to keep your morning running smoothly and ensure everyone is ready on time.

    For weddings requiring a second artist:

    • There is typically a $150–$200 second artist coordination fee

    • A minimum of 9–10 total services is required so both artists’ time is reserved appropriately

    • Services are usually split (example: I take 5 faces, second artist takes 4–5)

    The second artist fee covers:

    • Securing another licensed professional

    • Timeline coordination

    • Communication and scheduling

    • Ensuring consistent quality and professionalism

    My priority is making sure your wedding morning feels calm, organized, and never rushed — bringing in a second artist allows that to happen while protecting your timeline.

  • Yes! Your bridal preview is included when you book your wedding package.

    This is one of my favorite parts of the process because it gives us time to:

    • Design your exact wedding day look

    • Test longevity and comfort

    • Make any adjustments

    • Help you feel completely confident going into your big day

    My goal is that when the wedding morning arrives, you feel relaxed because we already know exactly what you love.

  • Your $500 retainer secures your date and is non-refundable because I turn away other inquiries once you book.

    If a cancellation happens:

    • Cancellations made more than approximately 6 months out may receive 50% refund of the 5 makeup service minimum (excluding the retainer).

    • Cancellations closer to the wedding date typically are non-refundable due to the difficulty of rebooking that date (100% of the makeup service minimum must be paid).

    Exact timelines are outlined in your contract. I always try to be fair while also protecting the time reserved specifically for you.

  • I focus on more than just makeup — I focus on how you FEEL that day. My brides often tell me they love that I bring a calm, organized, positive energy to the morning. I help keep things on schedule, adjust timelines if needed, and create a relaxed environment so you can actually enjoy getting ready.

    My style focuses on:

    • Timeless, camera-ready beauty

    • Skin that still looks like skin

    • Makeup that lasts all day

    • A luxury but comfortable experience

    I want you to look like yourself… just elevated and glowing with confidence.

  • Send me a message anytime. I’m always happy to help you decide if this is the right fit for you.
