I’m a Makeup Artist and Stylist who loves to work with women from all backgrounds who want a natural and fresh makeup look and are drawn to a California (and particularly, a very San Francisco) aesthetic. I’m a loving Mama to my pixie of a daughter, I’m an indie music lover, and a total interior design nerd. I like to think that all of these things authenticate my work a little bit.

Bridal makeup with an editorial tone. 

I like to focus on fresh, radiant, glowing, healthy skin. Juicy, stained lips. Touchable skin, smokey liner, and full-yet-soft natural brows. I want you to look fresh and full of love, naturally sultry, playful, confident... All with slightly tousled hair (if you so choose).

My job is more than just to "make you pretty." A huge part of my job is to bring all that inner beauty to the very surface in order to empower you.  I want my services to get you to fully embody those feelings of love and confidence so you can bring your true and best self to the altar (or the beach)! 

I really enjoy the connection that I make with my clients ... Everyone comes with their own story, their history, their joys and losses, their humor. They come with a huge amount of love on their wedding day; sometimes some worry, and, my favorite part is the role I play in relaxing my clients and putting them at ease during their makeup application. It makes everything feel so real and solid when the whole look is put together, and I really love being a part of that transformation. 

I love doing the entire bridal look for my clients. It allows me to create the whole vision for you, from head to toe. I help you find your dream dress, design the perfect hair and makeup look to compliment it, and choose the accessories and shoes that will complete the look. You have a story that you want your guests to see when you walk down the aisle.

I’ve been working as a makeup artist since 1998. I got my start with top makeup brands like Sebastian Trucco, MAC, and Benefit. I worked for SF Ballet for years and was the Department Head for hair and makeup for West Edge Opera Company. I slowly shifted my backstage presence over to work on-set, picking up lifestyle shoots for indie fashion designers and smaller weddings back in 2010… I haven’t looked back!

I’ve been specializing in boutique weddings for the last 12 years, and began offering wardrobe styling for my bridal clients in 2019. It’s a unique niche that brings my love for photoshoots, fashion styling, and hair/makeup styling all together… I call my niche “Whole Look Bridal”. I produce natural work that’s meant for the camera, and that’s where my real passion lies.

I can’t wait to connect with you and share how I can help you make your wedding vision come to life. Contact me HERE to get onto my calendar.
