An absolute dream to work with. My makeup was fresh, glowing, and perfectly suited for the event it photographed beautifully and stayed put for hours. Her attention to detail and calming presence made the entire experience so enjoyable. I would book her again in a heartbeat

Krista did my hair and makeup for a newborn photoshoot. She showed up on time for my VERY early appointment and was a pleasure to work with. Very professional and made me very comfortable. Makeup was exactly what I was looking for and I would use her again. Bonus, she was also gracious enough to make my toddler’s hair photo ready on our very busy morning. Thank you!

Krista was so professional — quick to respond, punctual, and wonderfully thoughtful in her approach. She worked with such calm precision and made sure I loved every detail. I’d happily hire her again for both makeup and hair.

Krista responded right away and kept her word on the timing of my event. I don’t normally get my makeup done for most events however, at the age of 58, I need more help on my under eye hollows specifically when pictures are taken. Krista helped to accomplish that and my pics looked great! She’s down to earth and knows what she is doing with makeup. She estimated the time it would take for her to be in and out and she was on target with that as well. She’s professional and pleasant. I will definitely call on her when I have a special event moving forward. As an added bonus, she helped to touch up my hair that needed attention since my blowout lost its life. The makeup was on point AND my hair was great as well. Thanks Krista for all of your help! 💕💕💕💕

My makeup was impeccable. I don't normally wear makeup so I was nervous but she was so patient and open with me. She listened to my wants and needs. It was amazing. I don't have any photos. The day happened so fast but it was so pretty.
