Why Hiring Professional Hair and Makeup Is the Secret to Your Best Look Ever (Plus Why You Should Book Me Now)

Let’s get real: we all want to look like the best version of ourselves. Whether it’s for a wedding, a corporate headshot, or that “I’m-a-boss” branding shoot, we want to slay our look—and by slay, I mean feel stunning, confident, and totally put together. But here’s the thing: looking amazing doesn’t just happen by accident. It takes a professional touch. And that’s where I come in.
​
If you’re thinking, “Oh, but I can do my own makeup,” or “Hair’s just hair, right?”—hold up, my friend. Professional hair and makeup do so much more than just make you look good. They can actually elevate your whole experience—and I’m not just saying that because I’m a makeup artist (although, okay, a little biased). Let me tell you why bringing in a pro makes all the difference.

1. Experience That Gets You RESULTS
Here’s the deal: I’ve worked all kinds of shoots—print, runway, headshots, branding, boudoir, and yes, the occasional wedding. I’ve honed my skills to make sure your look is tailored to your exact needs. Whether you’re after a soft, natural glow or a fierce, red carpet glam, I’ve got you covered. And let’s be real: knowing what works for the camera and what works in real life are two very different things. With a pro like me handling the beauty side of things, you can rest assured that your makeup will look as flawless in photos as it does in person. (Goodbye, makeup that fades by lunchtime.)

2. Your Look, Your Vibe
One thing I love about working with clients is helping them discover their perfect beauty look. It’s all about customization. I work with you to find the style that reflects your personality and fits the vibe of your shoot. If you’re not sure what that is yet, don’t worry—I’m full of ideas! The goal? To make sure you feel like you—just, you know, more polished, more confident, and more camera-ready.
​
3. Stress-Free, All Day Long
​Let’s be real—there’s enough to juggle when it comes to preparing for a shoot. Between outfits, coordinating schedules, and planning your perfect pose, hair and makeup should be the last thing you need to stress about. When you book me, you don’t have to worry about whether your lipstick is going to smudge or if your curls are going to fall flat by 2 PM. I’ll take care of all of that, so you can focus on shining bright. It’s about making your experience smooth, easy, and—dare I say--fun.

4. Picture-Perfect, All Day Long
A professional makeup artist knows how to keep your look flawless from the moment the camera clicks to the final shot. The right makeup can ensure that you not only look good in person, but that your features pop in photos. Plus, I use high-quality, long-lasting products that stand up to the test of time—whether you're sweating under hot lights or dealing with flop sweat from nerves having to step in front of the lens.

5. The Dream Team: Hair, Makeup, and Styling
Let’s talk about the magic that happens when you hire the right team. I’ve teamed up with some incredibly talented people in the industry, like Meg N Photo www.megnphotography.com, a photographer who’s basically a wizard when it comes to capturing those perfect moments, and Amy from The Establishmint www.theestablishmint.com, who’s a styling and shoot coordination genius. Together, we create the ultimate trifecta: I handle the beauty, Meg captures the magic, and Amy ensures everything runs smoothly and looks perfect. It’s the kind of collaboration that makes your shoot, wedding, or photoshoot feel seamless and, frankly, extra special.
But here’s the thing: I’m not just locked into working with Meg and Amy. I’ve got a whole network of photographers, stylists, and other pros I work with, and I can help connect you with the right people for your vision. Because let’s face it: while most people book their photographer first, bringing a makeup artist on board before you book a photographer gives you an edge. I can help guide your entire creative process and find the perfect fit for your vibe—trust me, the connections I have can make all the difference in creating a photoshoot that speaks to your vision.

Final Thoughts: Book Me, Let’s Talk
Here’s the best part: I’m more than just a makeup artist—I’m your beauty partner. Whether you’re booking a branding shoot, a wedding, or a headshot session, I bring experience, creativity, and connections that go beyond just the makeup chair. Not only will I help you look flawless, but I’ll guide you through the process, ensuring you feel confident and prepared every step of the way.
