why yes, i was the go to girl for hair & makeup.
cliche? ABSOLUTELY. Growing up, I was always the one doing everyone’s hair and makeup, my little sister, her friends, my friends, prom looks, small outings and little photo shoots we’d throw together just for fun. If I wasn’t doing that, I was sitting in front of a mirror spending hours putting on far too much of my own makeup, memorizing every lyric to my favorite albums, drawing, painting, or just creating something in some way.
IM A creative soul. I grew up playing piano, singing, joining choirs, WAS part of drama clubs and theater programs. I’ve always been a dreamer, and honestly am a hopeless romantic to my core. (WHERE ARE MY ROMANTASY BOOK GIRLIES AT?)
Right after high school, I attended Make-Up Designory in Burbank, Ca. After graduating, I started my career as a beauty & special effects artist working mainly in the TV and film industry. (horror and FANTASY ARE my one true loveS, teehee) i started taking on bridal clients during that time, and pretty quickly realized that’s where I truly felt most at home.
The JOYOUS energy buzzing around, the emotion, the quiet moments in between everything happening; it made me fall in love with what I do in a completely different way. I realized how special it is to connect with people one-on-one. my own wedding was the most magical day of my life & to be a small part of ANOTHER persons wedding day, is an honor. Seeing a bride’s reaction when she finally looks in the mirror, viewing herself exactly as she envisioned is incredibly heartwarming & fulfilling, AND SO, HERE I AM.
