A little color, a little sparkle, and a whole lot of bronzed yummy glam.

Had so much fun creating this glam on my girl Talor! She’s 3 months postpartum and loved the boost it gave her!

I love creating glam that feels beautiful, elevated, and still like YOU.

POV: your makeup artist is also the model.

There’s something really special about experiencing a creative vision from both sides of the camera.

For this styled content day at The Estate at River Run, I created the hair & makeup look and then stepped in front of the camera to bring the vision to life.

Soft glam. Romantic waves. Satin. Marble. Golden light. A little old world glamour. Something I just love.

And suddenly, I wasn’t just creating the look…

I was living in it.

This is why I love being a makeup artist, content creator AND model. I get to understand the entire story seen from all angles, from the first brush stroke to the final frame.

Would you wear this look as a bride? Which photo was your fave?!

I went as Poison Ivy for a Garden Soirée fantasy event put on by Booked & Bewitched | Charlotte, NC !!! Beautifully captured by Dani of Once Upon a Photo. Once Upon a Photo NC Fantasy and Cosplay Photographer 🌿✨

I’m truly honored to have been a part of this event and to have had the opportunity to help Courtney, someone I genuinely adore and am continually amazed by.

The inspiration, intention, passion, and dedication she pours into creating a space where people can show up as their most authentic selves is something I deeply admire. There’s something so beautiful about being surrounded by people who encourage you to embrace exactly who you are.

I’ve met some truly incredible, uplifting humans through this experience, and I’m so thankful for every connection, every moment, and every bit of magic created along the way. 🖤🌿

Here’s to many more enchanted gatherings, beautiful souls, and a whole lot more magic. ✨

Classic. Romantic. Endlessly timeless.

These captured moments are a reminder that true beauty isn’t found in trends it lives in the moments that make us feel something.

The soft light. The quiet connection. The artistry behind every detail.

So grateful to have collaborated with an incredible creative duo Laid Back Luxury Wedding Photography & Videography to bring this vision they had to life and create something that feels both elegant and everlasting.
