Taking It Back

It's easy to let things in life take over and slow you down. I've been busy and I've somehow managed to get side tracked. I would've said that I've lost sight of what's important but that's simply not the truth.

I wanted to post some pictures of a wedding I did a couple of years ago. Lina, has been a client of mine for years. I met her when I worked as the Business Manager at Bobbi Brown in Nordstrom. She loved my style of makeup and after I left Nordstrom she continued to be a devout client. I've done almost all of her major events. I love creating long-lasting friendships. I've been there with her through her engagement, her wedding, and her family members' weddings! She's had a baby and started her career. Becoming friends with my clients is one of the many blessings and benefits of what I do.

For Lina's engagement photos she didn't want heavy makeup. They were shot outside with natural lighting and she wanted to look timeless. She's a gorgeous woman so it's not difficult to make her look stunning. When I am being booked for wedding makeup I always suggest a trial run. A great time to book me for a trial run is on the day of engagement photos or a bridal shower. That way the makeup is photographed and my clients can see how it wears as the day progresses.

Lina was really happy with the way her makeup came out for her engagement photos. She had one request for her big day; she wanted a little heavier eye makeup. I agreed with her after seeing the beautiful shots of her engagement shoot. I just added a little more shading to her eyes and picked up the eyeliner a bit. I also did the makeup for her bridal party and her mother. They were all very happy with the results. Here are a few photos from her special day. I am looking forward to sharing many more special events with Lina and her family.
