Sharing the Joy....
Many people ask me if I like being a makeup/hair artist. Normally I answer back with a quick "yes", but truthfully that doesn't really cover the half of it. I don't "like" my job, I LOVE IT! Why?...well if you were in my shoes you would know exactly what I meant.
Even though I'm a makeup/hair artist, I wear a variety of other hats in my life as a mother, daughter, sister, wife, artist, teacher, beauty expert and a business woman. All of these elements add a lot of flavor to the mix, so I just thought to myself "you've logged a lot of hours on this interesting journey of yours, so you might as well share the ride". So I am! That will be the only way for you to understand what I love about my profession and why I love living in the moment....

FEATURED ENGAGEMENT & FORMAL SESSION ~ JENNA & COLTON
FEATURED ENGAGEMENT SESSION~ KARMON & JARED
I always love when I get the opportunity to see just how far my business is reaching brides outside of my little town. Karmon and Jared what a fun couple, both to-be doctors! I was excited to be a part of this pre wedding union as I love the chance to makeup my couples who are sharing cultural traditions. Karmon will have a traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony along with her Western wedding ceremony.
This bride is leaving no small details out, we recently did her Bridal/Formal photo session and I got to see the Maggie Sottero wedding gown and the Swarovski Crystals she will be wearing, along with her traditional Chinese dress and custom jewelry. This will be an union that will honor and respect both traditions and beauty. Cant wait!

FIT AND BEAUTIFUL...
Georgia was getting ready to compete in a fitness competition in Boise, so she had booked an appointment with me to get her hair colored and styled. During her service she inquired about my makeup services for an upcoming photo shoot she was doing with the fabulous Kellee Smith http://www.momentsbykellee.com/ So one afternoon she came to my home studio I went to work and then she and Kellee went to the gym to produce these amazing images. Can you believe this beauty is the mother of four??? Georgia's beauty on the inside is what reflects on the out. I could only wish I had the drive to be this fit. She is my inspiration.

A MOMENT IN LAGUNA
One night as I was attending a function at my home town Country Club I ran into an old photographer friend of mine. During our conversation and his interest in working together we brain stormed a photo shoot in the Laguna Beach area. He has a beautiful home there and had a great concept in mind. So of course I jump on board as I am always interested in building my portfolio
. I called upon another friend of mine to get me the talent. So one Friday afternoon we all met in Laguna Beach and began our concept shoot. I have to say this was my first actual time in Laguna and I was taken back by the beauty it offers. Such a cool place. So after a long afternoon of HMUA and shooting we all gathered in the kitchen of my friends home and he and his companion cooked us this wonderful dinner. Far above any duty of anyone especially on a photo shoot. What this wonderful session turned out to be is enjoying the beauty of Laguna, meeting new friends and creating a lasting bond and memory that will forever be remembered, which turned us all into life long friends.Photography by Studio 404 Photography http://www.studio404photography.com/

FEATURED PHOTO SHOOT WITH MATT SPENCER PHOTOGRAPHY
Meet Miss Bridget, her and I go way back to high school days (well that's just a few years ago hehe)
. Anyway, Bridget had contacted me with some interest in this amazing project she is involved with and was excited to share she could utilize my services of a hair and makeup specialist to help. Needless to say she didn't need to beg!! So a couple months ago we all met at Day Break and had this wonderful photo session with the very talented Matt Spencer http://www.mattspencerphotography/
This was a really long day of shooting, but as you can see with these beautiful pictures it was well worth it. The energy that fulfilled us that day is one I will never forget as it was the birth of new journeys for most everyone involved with this shoot. I can not wait for this project to come full circle, until then enjoy the radiance of my beautiful friend Bridget and Matt's amazing photography.

FEATURED ENGAGEMENT SESSION~ PACE PHOTOGRAPHY
Kirsten and Mark...what a fun couple!
Kirsten had found me through her cousin as she (Alexis) was one of my very first brides. When I first met Kirsten she said she always wanted to have her wedding in Hawaii, but instead of taking all her money there she chose me (lucky me) and they will be having their honeymoon in Hawaii. I feel so fortunate to get the best brides, like many Kirsten came with total faith and confidence in me as she wanted the entire package (hair color, hair cut and hair and makeup artistry for everything). Yes, I love these type of brides :)
When she told Mark he has to get his airbrush makeup done too, (of course he was a bit resistant). Now as the proof is in the pictures of how evenly there flawless faces match one another and he actually liked the airbrush makeup.
I cant wait for this beautiful brides bridal pictures, she is strikingly beautiful and I love to make those beautiful blue eyes of hers pop!
