Ever since I can remember I've always loved up-styling.  It's one of the reasons I knew I wanted to be a hair stylist and make-up artist at such a young age {14 is when I knew I wanted to do hair "when I grew up"}.
 These are just some of the updo's I've done in the last little while.

Dear brides-to-be,

If you are reading this, you probably know that I specialize in bridal hair and makeup.

Here is just a little bit of information I shared with the brides-to-be at the Bridal Gathering (see the post below). 

-  If I could give you girls any hair and makeup advice for your big day I'd tell you - don't change how you look for your wedding day. Be a polished version of yourself. Wear a little more make-up, and wear your hair a little more done-up, but make sure that you look and feel comfortable.  You'll most likely have more photos of yourself from your wedding day than any other day in your life. You want to make sure you love the way you look.   

-  Hiring a professional stylist can definitely be a positive experience for you. Sit back, relax and let us do all the fussing for you! I carry with me, in my makeup and hair cases, products that will help your hair and make-up last all day long.  

-  3 services I think every bride should have done on their wedding day are: #1 airbrush makeup.  #2 individual false lashes. And #3 on location availability.

1.  Airbrush makeup is literally pure flawless airbrushed foundation. It's long lasting, weightless and totally kissable.

2.  False lashes are fabulous. They give your regular lashes more volume and length. You can't tell they're there and neither will anyone else. False lashes are a MUST for photos. 

3.  On location means I come to you. I bring all the luxury and convenience of the salon to your home. If needed I can bring other stylists with me to help get the bridal party all dolled up. Let us wake up early and travel to you to make your big day less stressful.

Spring Bridal Gathering

Back in January, I was able to be apart of the Spring Bridal Gathering at the Ogden Union Station.  It was a lot of fun!  I worked along side a couple of great stylists- Thomas Hardy & Krystal McMillan.  We did a stage show all about bridal hair and make-up, and I had a ton of fun doing it!  I love hair and make-up!  A big 'Thank you' to Thomas Hardy Salon for the invitation to join the show!

THANKS to my models! You guys were great!

Perfect Fall Bride

Candice's BEAUTIFUL formals were taken by ETF PHOTOGRAPHY.  

I loved doing her hair and make-up! 

Candice has the most beautiful natural red hair color. 

Her style is simple and elegant.
She was the perfect fall bride.

Camilla Photography

This summer I was able to do Tiffany's hair and make-up for her wedding at Wadley Farms in Lindon.  The fabulous Camilla Binks photographed her wedding.  

Here are the 'behind the scenes' pictures. 

Check out more of Camilla's work HERE on her website. 

Here are the photos from the wedding! Congratulations Tiffany!

Reason for this  picture: Even though Tiffany looks so little and sweet, she is actually in the armed forces in the Bomb Squad! She's hard core- even in her wedding dress!

Thanks to Camilla for these great photos!
