hair & makeup

I believe every mom should feel beautiful and pampered. I want each of my clients to feel beautiful and be stress free for their session.

That is why I have an amazing professional hair and makeup artist that I work with – to make the accessibility and scheduling easy and effortless.

meet Makenzie

I’ve been working with Makenzie for over 8 years. She comes to the studio before your session for a convenient and exceptional experience.

She provides a full yet natural face of makeup, including air brushing & false lashes, and includes complimentary hair styling.

What’s included:

– full face, with false lashes
– complimentary hair styling (typically a soft curl with side twist or braid)
– Makenzie comes to the studio before your in-studio session for a convenient and exceptional experience (for non in-studio sessions, you go to her studio in Waynesville)

Makenzie offers a special rate for my clients
$110

Questions about hair & makeup?

It’s so easy! If you just let me know you would like to book Makenzie upon booking your session – I will coordinate with Makenzie to give you available dates for your session. 

Please note: if your date has already been scheduled before informing me you’d like makeup & hair, please email asap so I can see if she is available. 

Makenzie is used to doing more natural looks for my clients – she is able of going as natural or glam as you like!

Some moms think they don’t want professional makeup – mostly because they like a more natural look. However, not only is it so nice not having to worry about your makeup and hair before a session – having professional makeup really brings out the features, especially your eyes. Many of returning clients who try it wish they would have done it for past sessions.

That’s okay! Makenzie offers hair styling as a complimentary service to my clients. She typically does a soft curl with a side twist or side braid. Soft curls add a gorgeous body to your hair and a side twist is a beautiful displayed way to help keep your hair from falling in your face.

Someday, she might be too big for moments like these, but what a beautiful thing to have photographs that bring you right back to how it all felt. 🥹❤️

Sometimes the best poses are the ones the kids come up with themselves! These three had a little vision of their own, and I was all for it!

Because sessions should be about more than just pretty pictures. They should be fun, relaxed, and full of personality. And I think these girls understood the assignment! 🙌🏻😉

What a treat it was having this sweet family back in front of my camera! The last time I photographed them was SIX years ago, when Jackson was just a tiny newborn.

One of the most rewarding parts of being a photographer is getting to reconnect with families years later and seeing how much life has changed since those first photographs.

Those baby blues, the warm golden sunshine, and a mama sneaking in one more kiss.

It’s the little moments like these that I love most. The way he fits in her arms, the way she looks at him, and all the love that doesn’t need a single word.

Because someday, these are the moments she’ll wish she could step back into, even for just a minute. 🥹❤️

Sometimes the sweetest moments are the ones filled with a little movement, lots of laughter, and absolutely no posing. ☺️

One of my favorite parts of what I do is getting to watch the little ones I’ve photographed since their earliest days grow, change, and develop their own personalities.

And seeing the sweet bond between these two makes it even better.

Time really does fly when you’re watching someone else’s babies grow, too! 🥹❤️
A Little Studio Update 🤍 As we head into the fina A Little Studio Update 🤍

As we head into the final months of the year, my calendar is filling up, and I wanted to share a little update for expecting families!

I currently have just a few openings remaining for newborn sessions:

🤍 November — 2 openings remaining
🤍 December — 2 openings remaining

Those first few weeks with your baby are such a fleeting season. From their tiny fingers and toes to the way they curl up so perfectly in your arms, these are the little details you’ll want to remember long after they’ve grown.

My natural-light studio in historic Centerville offers a calm, baby-led experience, with a thoughtfully curated wardrobe for moms and little ones, so you can simply arrive and enjoy this time with your family.

If you’re expecting a November or December baby, I’d love to begin planning your newborn session!

Swipe through for my remaining availability, and visit the link in my bio to reserve your session.

And somehow, my editing queue keeps growing faster than I can deliver galleries!

I absolutely love this time of year, but Lightroom and I are spending a little too much quality time together lately.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a few thousand more photos waiting for me. ☕🤎
