Tiffany, you're like, really pretty.
I first met Tiffany at her engagement session at Schwinn Produce Farm (super fun venue in LV, if you're in the market). We styled right there on sight. Tiffany never wears make up, so we wanted to make sure she still felt like herself. I think we did a fabulous job highlighting her features, just look at those baby blues!
Soon after her engagement session came the wedding! I was thrilled to be able to style her again. For her wedding hair, she wanted something simple that would stay all day but still looked fancy. Her hair was done with a wand, I used play powder to get the volume and did a slight twist to the back! I loved how it all came together. For make-up, again, very natural but went with golds and a bolder lash! I gave her a hard time because like her bff Nicole, (featured below), she doesn't wear any kind of lip color. I talked her into a subtle pink butter gloss from NYX and it looked beautiful!
Tiffany, I can't wait to do another round or 3 of styling with you!
Sarah, there are just not enough words.
Can we just talk about how beautiful Sarah is? Like really, it's not even fair. I grew up with Sarah, like from Diapers to Diamonds, literally. We've known each other since birth & stood up next to each other when we started new chapters in our life's . Through name changes, address changes, one thing hasn't changed; our friendship.
I adore the fact that she comes to me to be styled because let's be honest, shes a natural gem. Kelley & I have used her twice now as a Sneak Peek Girl for one of our many crazyawesome (that's a word- right??) photo ideas. This session turned out to be one my favorites yet! Bloom Bare Sessions, as they were come to be known as. Airy, pinks, golds, showing some skin & just that raw beauty. For Sarah I really wanted to show off her hair; I'm so envious of her locks! Of course, again I wanted to throw in some hair flair so I took a strand of floral garland and made her a floral crown! Cute, right?! Turned out perfect! Make-up wise, I used an array of browns and golds on her eyes, a light pink cheek complete with pink highlight!
Sarah, I know there will be many more styles, but this one might be hard to beat! Love you seester!

Brooke, so beautiful - so bright.
I simply cannot say enough about this shoot and how much I loved this style! Brooke did an editorial themed senior shoot, which set the bar for the rest of them. Doesn't she look stunning?!
Getting outfit options together wasn't hard as Kelley's and I closet is full of fun options, especially in the boho department. Accessories & layers can make or break an outfit so we kept things detailed but not overkill. Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns some! Also, there's a floppy hat out there for everyone, just have to find it!
I just couldn't decide what I wanted to do with her hair, so we went a couple of different ways. I curled it with a wand at first and through out the entire shoot pulled it this way and that way, with braids {messy fish tail} , pony's {Bandanna for added flair} & messy buns {twisted high} and guess what? It played along just fine, I swear by my Herbal Essence hair spray y'all.
Her make- up concept was "easy". I wanted a killer contour/highlight, bold eyes, & a lip color that would make those pearly whites gleam! Look achieved! Absolutely beautiful!
Brooke, I know there will many more styles to come. Kill em' in college xoxo!
Kylie - a beautiful boho bride.
Kylie’s wedding was nothing short of a dream, just look at it!! Although we had a last minute change up from what she had at her trial, her style pulled together wonderfully! Her gorgeous waves were achieved with a wand & some strategic back combing. We gave her hair a little volume and some braids for depth & added details. She’s a simple girl, her make-up reflects that. Just a subtle glow! Her bridesmaids all kept things simple too, just a pretty array of ladies!
Kylie, it was an absolute pleasure to be a part of your day!! You and your girls were just stunning!
Lesleigh, the momma that could.
I met the gorgeous Lesleigh through Kelley. She was getting ready for Family pictures to celebrate her son's one year birthday & wanted them to be perfection. So, she hired me to do her hair and makeup!
I knew I wanted to do something detailed for her hair but still keep it simplistic enough for family photos. You wouldn't know looking, but we added a couple clip-in hair extenstions (perfect for length & volume) to her hair. They allowed us to get this ah-mazing fish tail braid to lay just right!
When it came to make-up, I asked her what kind of "look" she was going for, she said do whatever you want, I trust you. Away I ran & never looked back. I used darker colors on her eyes, including an array of plums to really make those green hughes in her eyes, pop! I used a warm blush color on her instead of pinks to bring the look together!
I have now gotten the pleasure of styling Lesleigh multiple times for all kinds of reasons and we have became friends (that's a huge perk of the job, making friends with simply wonderful people). Lesleigh, you cross my mind often & I find you in my prayers more often than not as you go through the struggles of adding to your lovely family. See you in December for Family Pictures! XOXO

Nicole, so super sweet.
Nicole booked me before we had ever met. Based on our text convos back and forth, I couldn't wait to work with her. She is just the sweetest lady and just look at that smile. She's happy.
We got to hang out a couple times with her engagement shoot up first. Nicole is clean cut, natural beauty. She doesn't wear a lot of make-up on the daily so she didn't want to look heavy. I decided to go with a luminous foundation and powder contouring. We highlighted those great cheek bones and dusted some under her brows to show those off too. I used a large curling iron to throw some curl and body in her long locks.
Next up was the wedding day. Let me tell you, I have done many of weddings & all my brides have been absolutely stunning but no wedding has had me in tears while styling. The love is real y'all. The strapless dress paired really well with the elegant updo I did. We did a black liner and a dramatic lash. I always recommend lashes to my brides, plus they come complimentary with my bridal package, they just add so much especially in pics.
Nicole, you look absolutely beautiful. I wish you & your new hubby all the happiness in the world. See you soon!! xoxo
Hayley - the girl I love to hate.
I mean come on, who look likes this?! ALL THE HEART EYES.
For real though, you’ll never meet anyone sweeter. I love getting to style Hayley. The first time we met was for a crossfit girls shoot; I knew instantly we’d be friends. Then she came for BARE session with Kelley Photo and I - I was pumped to get to play with those long locks again! Her blonde hair holds curl so well that we just went with that tousled, I tried but not really look. Perfect for when you’re playing in your hair some, changing outfits, etc. For her make-up I really wanted to make her eyes pop! The colors outside were those pretty “after fall” colors so I used rust, gold and brown hughes from the naked 2 palette and built the color up so it brought out those colors in her green eyes. EEEEKKK! SO PRETTY!
Hayley - Thank you so much for trusting me with your style. I can’t wait for round 3 sweet girl!
Meet the gorgeous Brooke! Isn't her whole style just to die for?! This was her engagement sesh and I just keep swooning over her enitre style!
My eyes quickly go to her amazing curls and of course the super cute floral crown. I use a wand curler to create this look; you can find these at your local Target (you're welcome, another reason to shop Target)! You can also find them at your local Beauty Brands or Ulta!
We went with a pretty natural face for Brooke. Using all earth tones, it just made everything come together so nicely!
The outfit - goodness, Kelley and I had such a hard time choosing what to put here in but we finally decided on these 3 looks. Brooke rocked them! Most of her pieces are from the Buckle; the orange over piece, cream over piece and mauve skirt are all from there.
Brooke, it was an absolute pleasure to do this style for you! You are just the sweetest! Congratualtions on going from Miss to Mrs!

Hope - The Gorgeous Senior
The graduating class of 2017 had some straight babe's! Like this girl, Hope! I got the chance to style Hope for her senior pictures this year. She was so funny, for her size you'd never guess that eating is favorite past time! HA! Immediately I knew I wanted her eyes to POP! I wanted her make-up to really blend well with the background of pretty greens and earth tones outside. I used darker heath browns and golds; then went underneath her eye with a touch of mermaid green. I did a champagne colored glow/highlight and stuck with a nude shade for her lips. She wanted touchable waves for her hair so that's exactly what we went for! Her hair was the perfect length for the bigger wand curls too. The clothes she brought were to die for! Loved that kimono and the over-sized light sweater. We ended up raiding Kelley's closet (when you get an idea, you must go with it) for a lacey bralette for under the sweater. Pulled that whole look together perfectly!
Hope - Thank you so much for trusting me with your style for you senior pics! I so enjoyed chatting with you! You look stunning! You're driven, sweet and smart; you'll do great things in life!
