I became a self-taught makeup artist after my interest sparked when I got married to my high school sweetheart in 2018. I attended YouTube University & got really good at doing my own makeup. Throughout 2019 I got friends + family ready for special events & decided to start taking clients in 2020. In my free time I love binge watching shows, visiting the beach and listening to R&B music!

After working at MAC for a few years I realized how much I enjoyed making women feel their absolute best on one of the most important days of their lives. This is when I decided to branch outside of the retail makeup and get involved in wedding makeup! Making the experience as amazing and comfortable as possible while making everyone feel like their most beautiful selves is the best part of my job!

After going to school for Criminal Justice and working as a corrections officer for almost two years, I felt a massive part of me was missing. I was always creative and loved makeup. I started doing makeup on the side, and my artistry contributed to grow & grow. I’ve been in the Bridal and Special event industry for 7 years and I love every second of it. I’m confident in my knowledge of color theory and the ability to do makeup looks that have a wide range. Super natural to full glam & anywhere in between. I’m your girl!

Since the age of 16 I’ve loved exploring makeup techniques & making people feel beautiful. In 2019, I quit my promising 9-5 to be a stay at home mama and raise my children. I launched my blog, started content creating & finished my Masters in Healthcare Administration, but makeup was still a big passion of mine. Soon after, I dove back into my love for this industry and joined the best team- Brides by Blake. I am a Target obsessed, coffee loving mama of three kiddos and a dog, and a wife to my high school heart.

As a left handed, artsy, and creative person I’ve always loved doing special occasion hair. Growing up with a hairstylist mom, I got to grow up seeing all that the industry had to offer, but my absolute favorite was always those gorgeous bridal styles. I had no idea that in the next few years I would have my dream job doing bridal hair professionally and that my career is actually something i love doing and will never get sick of doing. I am so excited to make you feel your absolutely best on your special day.

After having my daughter I started to feel like I wasn’t myself. I wanted to feel good again, I wanted to look good again. So I started to play with makeup. I would stay up late and watch YouTube videos. I used to practice on anyone who would let me. That transpired into wanting to make other people feel & look good. I knew if I had felt this way, then I was sure there were others who felt the same way. Makeup became a creative outlet that also allowed me to see my clients look at themselves in a different light.
