MY PROMISE
You will feel more beautiful than you have ever felt before, but you will also still feel like yourself.
BOOKING PROCESS
The
In order to maintain the energy required to give you the bridal beauty experience you deserve, I generally only take 2 weddings per month. Submit a date inquiry to see if I have availability for your month.
By the time the big day has arrived, there is nothing left for you to do but relax while I help you look and feel your best. You and your planner will have the beauty timeline well in advance to keep the day as stress free as you deserve.
wedding day
Most clients elect to have a bridal preview day to have the time to see & talk through all the details for your wedding day makeup look. Many may also desire engagement, shower and/or bachelorette makeup application which is all available in a la carte pricing.

Assuming we're a perfect match, I will send my pricing guide link. You'll select your package, sign your contract and the moment you've paid your deposit, your day is officially secured!

I run a business built on connection. My complimentary phone consult is for any client wanting to work with me. This allows each of us to do a fit check- do we mesh well? Is my style of work right for you?

AFTER THIS MANY YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY, I'VE NOTICED THAT ALL OF MY HAPPIEST BRIDES HAVE A FEW THINGS IN COMMON:
- They already genuinely like themselves and are mostly happy or at least contented with who they see when they look in the mirror.
- While they definitely want to look beautiful on their wedding day, how they feel is the most important part of their entire experience.
- They treasure the moments with their loved ones and look at the beauty experience as an opportunity to make more memories with the family and friends who have been there through it all.
- They recognize the value of a relaxing wedding morning and want to stay calm and centered to soak up every single second.
Frequently asked questions
have more questions?
send me an email.
do you travel?
I prefer not to travel by air with my kit, which means I can serve most midwest destinations without issue. Travel scenarios vary by client and detailed travel costs are included in my pricing guide, but services can be provided at your wedding venue, hotel room or home.
Just one! I specialize in bridal makeup and can serve a bride and up to five party members per event. Do you have a larger party needing services? I often travel with other trusted artists when needed for an additional fee.
how many people are on your team?
how far in advance should we book?
I recommend securing your date as soon as it is finalized as in demand bridal artists often book out up to 12 months in advance. I am only able to hold your date upon receiving a signed contract and deposit. Given the limited number of wedding clients I accept every year availability of my services can change very quickly.
First submit a date inquiry to see if I have availability left for your event. If I do have space that month, our next step is a phone consult. See above for a detailed timeline for booking.
how do I book a session?
By the end of our call, we will know if we're a good fit or not and if I think we aren't I'll send you in the direction of an artist who would be perfect for you.
If you still feel unsure by the time we've finished our phone call, then your gut may be telling you we aren't a good fit. And that is okay! This is a big day and your beauty team is often the first interaction you have. It can set the whole tone for one of the most beautiful days of your life- it should 100% feel like a perfect match.
How do I know that you're the right artist for me?
But Wait
behind the scenes
- It all starts with questions--and there are many! By the time you reach my chair for the preview, we've already had a vision and planning call- the chance for us to have a full dialogue about all the ins and outs of getting your most beautiful result.
- On preview day, we will go through a full skin consult so I can make the right choices to create a makeup look that feels effortless and like you have nothing on your skin
- I'll do a complete feature assessment and complexion analysis so that I can customize your look to bring out your natural beauty
- Then I'll jump in with a customized skin prep prior to applying the right makeup for you and your face- because Skin Prep work is key to a perfect complexion that will last all night!
- At the end of it all, I take detailed notes. I reconnect with you days after to get feedback on how everything looked and felt throughout the day- so we can go into your biggest day prepared to achieve your best result quickly, since time is often in short supply on wedding morning.
