Why hire professionals for hair and makeup on your wedding day.

As a photographer I can tell you what a HUGE difference PROFESSIONAL hair and makeup make on your big day. Sure you may do an awesome job on your makeup on a daily basis and hair can't be that hard right? Think again my friends! Here are a few tid bits you will find helpful. Trust me you will not regret this decision! A hairstylist will make your hairstyle look good from ANY and EVERY angle the camera captures.  It's easy to do your own hair and make it look good from the front or the back, but there is no telling what angles the photographer will capture.  A professional will know how to make your hairstyle look amazing from any angle your photographer may hit.Your stylist also knows how to make the most of your hair type. You would be amazed what a hairstylist can do with your hair!  Having experience with so many hair types, they will make your fine hair look full and your thick hair look proportionate. you won't believe what a stylist can do with your hair!

Now, on to makeup. A makeup artist knows how to bring out your best features.  Highlighting and contouring in the wrong places can bring attention to the wrong things, while highlighting and contouring in the right places will make you look your best. A makeup artist also knows how to style for photographs.  Every day makeup looks great in person, but there are a lot of different techniques when it comes to photos. you definitely don't want to look washed out and pale in your wedding photos!

Lastly, stylist and makeup artists use the right products and techniques to make your hair and makeup last ALL day.  It's one thing to look great when you leave your house that morning, it's another thing to still look great when you make your grand exit that night.  Professional makeup, hair tools and experience will all help you to look picture perfect all day long. I want nothing but the best for my clients and for them to look amazing and look back and ABSOLUTELY LOVE their photos. Don't skip hair and makeup, I promise you will thank me! Don't miss a thing!

Why every woman should have a Boudoir Shoot

You know you have always wanted to do one, but you are terrified at the thought of stripping down to your bare essentials in front of someone. Remember, I am a professional. I will make you feel comfortable and guide you every step of the way. I’m giving you 10 reasons right now why you should do a boudoir shoot and they all start and end with you! 1. To look back on. Why not have proof for when you’re older and catch yourself saying “I used to look like that”. 2. It boosts confidence and helps you to love every inch of yourself. The self-discovery and empowerment are only a plus!

3. Having full on hair, makeup, and photo pamper can make you feel like a queen. It might even be addictive, you’ll want to rebook, maybe even a party for you and your girlfriends! 4. The perfect way to commemorate your weight loss, and inspiration to keep going! 5. It’s an excuse to go shopping for something frivolous!  Also you’ll now have that classy lingerie set for that special someone or night out.

6. Celebrate a transitional period. Newly engaged? Just get married? Just had a baby? Milestone birthday? Anniversary? Heck, even a divorce! 7. Correct doubts! Thinking “I’m too big, or not pretty or confident enough”. Nonsense. As cliché as it sounds people come in all different shapes and sizes. I will make everyone look feminine and beautiful. That’s my job! You are a sexy woman! 8. Recently out of a relationship? What better way to celebrate being single and return confidence.

9. It’s not about sex. It’s about feeling sexy. Showing your pictures to friends or online is a confidence step in itself. It’s about not letting other people judge you and about you forming your own definition of beauty. 10. Shock your friends and yourself! If it’s something you’ve always wanted to do, be glamorous for a day and do it! I will always put my best effort into making you feel comfortable and maximize your fun experience! I also offer group party packages that include wine and strawberries – make a day of it!
