Here’s a few pictures of my beautiful bride Abbie!! She is truly one of the sweetest brides I’ve had the opportunity to work with! She looked absolutely breath taking today!! Wishing her all of the love and happiness!!

Today I had the opportunity to work with one of the sweetest bride’s I’ve had the opportunity to work with. Mollie is the kind of person who makes you feel so comfortable just by being in her presence. She had an equally amazing bridal party and mother! It was such a pleasure working with them! I loved the natural glam looked we created for Mollie. The color selection really made her eyes pop! They all looked so beautiful!

I had another opportunity to work with the sweetest gal, Katie McGlinchey for her prom makeup look! She wanted a look that was very natural but yet pretty! We used tones that would complement both her dress and features! As always it was such a great experience working with her! She looked so beautiful!! Thank you Katie for allowing me to share some of your prom pictures to see the full look with the hair and dress!

I truly had the best day! I had the privilege to be apart of the Inspired fashion show at Tellus 360 today, which was held to raise money for juvenile diabetes research. Not only did I have the opportunity to donate my services to an amazing cause but I was so lucky to meet so many sweet people and beautiful models! A huge thank you to Vanessa Belani for the opportunity and her (and her husband) for organizing/hosting this special event, it was one of the most rewarding experiences that I was blessed to be apart of! It was so much fun and the audience made all of the models feel so beautiful and special by their gracious applause and energy! 

I had the pleasure of working with Tiffany Shrom to create a hair and makeup look for her pageant head shots!! And also got to work with the super talented Anthony Panzino Photog!! Tiffany you looked so beautiful and I had so much fun working with the two of them! I am looking forward to seeing the professional pictures and working with the two of them again in the near future!

Here’s a few pictures of the makeup and hair look that I created for Tiffany Shrom.

I had the opportunity this morning to work with the ever so beautiful Noelle Schneider in creating her pageant day makeup look for the Miss Bucks, Montgomery and Liberty Bell Outstanding Teen Scholarship pageant!! She has the most stunning eyes! The one thing I love about working with repeat clients is the relationships/friendships you build along the way! Here are a few shots of the makeup look I created for her.

I had the complete honor of working with some of the contestants during the Miss Lancaster County Pageant on Sunday March 6th at the Ephrata Main Theatre. I met some the sweetest young ladies that day and had the opportunity to work with my already fabulous existing clients as well. I also had the opportunity to connect with two amazing pageant directors, Hannah Timm Macis and Sarah Timm-Hess. They made me feel so welcome and were the sweetest people to work with! I also had the privilege of working with an insanely talented hairstylist and friend Kara Brobst. She styled Kayla and Noelle Schneider’s hair for the pageant. And to top if off my previous pageant client Miss Kayla Schneider was crowned Miss Lancaster County! And another local contestant Miss Tiffany Shrom was crowned Miss Red Rose City! I was so proud of all of the contestants who participated! I am looking forward to another opportunity to work with these amazing young ladies again someday!

I had the privilege of working with the sweet group of ladies on March 5th for Morgan’s 16th Birthday party. I even had the opportunity to doll up her grandmother since she was celebrating her wedding anniversary, which her daughter graciously treated her to a make over. We laughed, joked and had the best time that day! It was so refreshing to feel the love and energy that these sweet gals put possessed. They were enjoying their makeup and taking lots of selfies! And they feel in love with the false lashes we used that day! They all looked so incredibly beautiful and there eyes just lit up with excitement after they we finished. It was truly such a rewarding experience! As a gift to the birthday girl, I did a free mini photo shoot for her and her friends! Needless to say it was an absolute hit!

I was beyond thrilled to know that I was selected for the “Pay it Forward” giveaway hosted by Isabel March. It was one of the most incredible experiences that I’ve had the opportunity to be apart of. She truly captured the very essence of who I am as a person as well as a makeup artist/business owner. I will be forever grateful for these pictures and the chance to have met such an incredibly sweet, giving and talented human being! I look forward to a wedding or special event in the future where our paths cross and we can collaborate something beautiful together!
