And it’s my honor and privilege to do so!💫 If you’re looking for hair and makeup for your big day and you want someone who truly listens and will be on speed dial throughout your planning process, dm me! I love skin that looks like skin, soft romantic hair, and I always have what you need in my back pocket whether that’s a good joke or a bottle of Vueve.

Some beauty pros like to joke that we “aren’t magicians” when discussing expectations. But I kinda like to think that I am💫

Where she ended up💫 swipe to see what she did before. So much goes into these brief magical moments. Every flick of the liner, every hair, every flower, every photo all carefully curated by a team of creatives who LOVE love. I get to help my brides move through their day looking and feeling how they want and it never gets old. Each wedding feels like the only one on my calendar. It’s that important! The lovely Kirsten had the most magical I Do’s in SF and she brought me with her. What an honor and a delight!

I thought putting down those bricks two years ago was the worst thing to ever happen to me. Turns out I’m the luckiest girl alive 💫 If you’ve been wondering if it’s time to do the big scary thing, whatever it is, this is your sign.

Previews are my favorite! Just you and me and two or three hours where we get to unpack every single little detail about the big day and how you can move through that day exactly how you want to, looking and feeling like your best self 💫
I am so excited for Whitney’s big day in Napa this fall! And what’s even better is that she booked me for the welcome dinner the night prior and touchups the day of so we get more than one look and I get to be on hand to make sure she how’s everything she needs throughout the entire process! taken in Napa, California by @polishandpout

this summer me and my two littles decided the casita needed more art so we made this 6 foot beauty! it was a labor of love too and if you visited me during this time I likely handed you a paint brush to help. they named her Giulia and she is the jewel of the house. I set up a reading book right under her so every evening it’s the perfect spot for big imaginations 💫
.
.
.
. a bit more info in case you’re curious: she’s made entirely of recycled cardboard & newspaper, masking tape, and good ol’ papier-mâché! I don’t have a template to offer because I free handed the base shape but whale sharks have such distinct heads it really is easier than you think! I threw up the fairy lights we had lying around but I think I’d like to install a thinner LED strip underneath for a cleaner look.
.
.
. this was so much fun! loved getting to channel my creativity into a different medium. what do you think? taken in California by @polishandpout
