•Do I have a portfolio•
Currently after 26 years of doing makeup and hair, I have not collected very many photos of the many faces that I have done. Under “people” I will be building an online photo and video blog of some of the weddings I’ve done where brides, photographers and videographers have submitted their photos to me. After your wedding I welcome you to submit your photos also!
Approximately 30 – 45 minutes.
•Will your makeup be done by me personally•
Yes. If I do bring an assistant, they help me with prepping and a touch up.
•How important is a practice session for a bride•
I believe it relieves both of us of a lot of stress. I notice when I finish the makeup hair on the wedding day after having a practice session the bride doesn’t rush to the mirror wondering what she looked like, she knows what to expect and seems relaxed about it. Besides ! it’s a good excuse to get dressed up & ask your fiance to take you out!
•Can a bride combine a practice session with their engagement photography session•
You may use the practice session for your pre bridal photo session, but it’s difficult to use it for the engagement session, since the pre-bridal photo session is more like a wedding day photos and the engagement photos are more casual. I usually recommend to schedule a separate makeup and hair session for engagement photos.
•How long does the practice session take•
Approximately an hour.
•When should a bride schedule a practice session•
We can do a practice session any time after you receive your hairpiece and veil so that we can figure out the placement.
•In what order do I have the bride & bridesmaids have their makeup & hair done•
As an example, a bridal party of three I would do a bridesmaid first, then the bride and then the last bridesmaid. The bride is not usually first or last it’s just personal preference
•How do you book an event date•
After determining whether I will be able to assist you on your special day, I will send you a proposal that will need to be sent back with a non-refundable retainment fee within 2 weeks. You will need to know the time that you will be needing services done, how many need makeup and hair and the location you will need me to be in order to book the date.
•Is the retainment fee applied to the total balance•
Yes
•Is there a fee to go to your hotel or home or venue•
Yes. The location fee is dependent on where you will need me to be. My studio is also open to do services and there would be no location fee.
•Will you need touch-up makeup•
I do have makeup that you may purchase for touch-up, but it’s not necessary.
