Most of us grew up playing with makeup as little girls and even if you didn't, you came to appreciate the benefits of it later on. For me, Hair & Makeup was just another form of art and a way to express my creativity. Growing up the daughter of a Navy pilot meant that I was in a constant state of upheaval and change. Art grounded me and connected me to others wherever I ended up landing. I won awards for photography in High School but ultimately decided on the business of beautifying people as my career path. I feel very fortunate to have found my calling at a young age and believe that loving what you do is an integral part of your success. Not only do I get to be artistic on a daily basis, I get to make people feel good on the inside when they look good on the outside. There’s nothing better for me. Each Bride that I have the privilege to work with is special to me and I take pride in adding my touch to their special day.

I have been in the business of beautifying for over 16 years. In addition to having experience in print/television, I studied Cosmetology at Graham Webb Academy in Washington, D.C., continued my education with Toni&Guy after graduating, and I am a licensed Cosmetologist. But really, who cares? It’s art.
