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 toddlerโs hair photo ready on our very busy morning. Thank you!
