from the studio lately ✨


Hi Reader,

I’m still high on the energy of such a beautiful creative weekend working in Chicago last week — one of those weekends that reminded me how much I love this work. Between time in the studio, collaborating with incredible people, and creating new portfolio content, it honestly felt like a reset in the best way.

✨ Exciting update for my Chicago clients:

I’m in a new studio space for select appointments and projects, which has been such an inspiring shift! If you're in the city, I can't wait to glam you there.

Speaking of your next glam—

I’m currently booking makeup for bridal, special events, photoshoots, and beauty services for 2026–2027 throughout Chicago + the surrounding suburbs.

If you or someone you know is planning a wedding, photoshoot, event, prom/homecoming, brand session, or special occasion, I’d absolutely love to connect.

🖋️ Another update:

I’ve officially started a blog on my website (!!), and the first post is now live. It feels really exciting to have a space to share more behind-the-scenes moments, beauty inspiration, creative work, and thoughts on products that goes beyond a quick social media post. More to come soon...

And one last little ask 💌

If we’ve ever worked together before, I would be so grateful if you’d consider leaving a quick review on my Google Business Profile. It truly helps small businesses like mine grow, connect with new clients, and continue creating.

This next season is feeling very intentional, creative, soft, elevated, and community-centered — and I’m really grateful you’re here for it.

You can also follow along on Instagram for recent work, behind-the-scenes moments, and upcoming availability.

Hi Reader! This past fall I sent an update that I'd started taking more freelance makeup clients.
