New beginnings 🤍 + what's ahead


Hi Reader,

I wanted to share a little life (and business) update with you 🤍

I’m officially stepping into maternity leave as we get ready to welcome our second baby. It's such a special and meaningful season for our family.✨

What this means:

  • I won’t be taking any additional summer or last-minute bookings now through August.
  • I am currently booking ahead for Fall 2026 and Spring 2027. Fall dates tend to book quickly—if you have something in mind, I recommend reaching out early. Inquire here for your date.
  • I’ll still be active on social media and available via email for all inquiries.

If you’re already on my calendar this summer, nothing changes—your appointment is secured. 🔒


A quick update you might’ve missed: I recently refreshed my portfolio with some of my latest work, and I’m so excited about how it came together. It really reflects the direction my artistry is evolving into: soft, radiant, intentional beauty that still feels like you.

If you’re planning a future event or just looking for inspiration, I’d love for you to take a look 🤍

Keep up with me this summer on Instagram!

I may not be actively taking clients over the summer, but I still want to stay connected. I'll be sharing behind the scenes, past client looks, soft glam inspiration, and more on @rachelmarieglam.


Thank you for being here and supporting my business through every season—it truly means so much to me.

I’ll still be around, just in a slower, more intentional rhythm for a little while. I can’t wait to be back & glamming you soon.

With love, Rachel

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...

Hi Reader! This past fall I sent an update that I'd started taking more freelance makeup clients. Although there is so much that can be learned from working in someone else's studio, I love the freedom and flexibility of working as a private Makeup Artist. I’ve been ready for this! I wanted to share another little update—I’ve officially launched my website and am now booking makeup services for bridal and special events 🤍 This has been something I’ve been quietly building behind the scenes,...
