Honored to return for Season 2 of HBO’s TOXIC after working on Season 1 last year.
Projects like this matter. The series shines a necessary light on the realities of toxic relationships, and being part of storytelling that creates awareness and impact is why I love what I do.
Grateful for a crew that leads with care and integrity — and for the opportunity to work alongside the incredible @elizabethchambers . She is truly as amazing as she seems — kind, thoughtful, and deeply committed to helping others. I genuinely loved my time working with her and will miss our time on set. Thank you Elizabeth for being the amazing human that you are.
Proud to contribute to meaningful television.

✨ Bride Spotlight ✨
Throwing it back to this gorgeous bride moment from last year 🤍
Sara thank you so much for trusting me and hiring me as your makeup artist for such an important day. It was truly a joy working with you—from our skin prep plan leading up to the wedding all the way to the final touches on the big day.
For her wedding makeup, we went with a soft glam look, focusing on a fresh, glowing, ultra-hydrated complexion that still felt timeless and elevated. All that skincare prep paid off—healthy skin makes all the difference, and Sara absolutely radiated ✨
A huge thank you to my amazing makeup assistant @makeup.by.shadi for being by my side that day. I couldn’t have done it without you—your support, calm energy, and attention to detail were an integral part of the wedding’s success 🤍
Brides-to-be: this is your sign to start skincare early and choose a makeup artist who’s with you every step of the way 💍
💬 Tell me—are you more soft glam or full glam for your wedding day?

BTS life of a makeup artist! After a bump in the road of life, I am very grateful and excited to be getting back on set tomorrow! Small steps but steps nonetheless!!
Your headshot is often your first impression—let’s make sure it actually reflects you ✨
Headshot days are some of my favorite jobs. There’s something I love about helping clients feel confident, polished, and completely themselves in front of the camera.
Hair + makeup for headshots should never feel overdone—just clean, fresh, and elevated. Think: you on your best day.
I also guide my clients on wardrobe (before and during the shoot) so everything—from colors to textures—works seamlessly on camera.
This shoot was extra special—done alongside my husband, photographer @jeffmauritzen . Together, we bring a full studio setup right to your office, making it easy, efficient, and honestly…a really great experience for your whole team.
If your team needs updated headshots or you’ve been putting yours off…this is your sign 😉

Another clip from the shoot I did with @noirprismstudios at @thenasciences 🎬
Male grooming for camera is everything — keeping shine under control, evening out skin, and making sure everything looks natural on screen.
Subtle details, big difference ✨

I was looking through my reviews the other day (over 100 five stars 😭🤍) and kept noticing the same word over and over…
✨ calm ✨
And honestly, that means everything to me.
Because yes, I love creating a beautiful, glowy look—but more than that, I want you to feel taken care of. Calm. Grounded. Like you can just breathe and enjoy your morning.
Seeing things like
💬 “she made sure I was calm…”
💬 “she helped calm my jitters…”
💬 “such a calming presence…”
…it just makes me so grateful for every single one of you who trusted me with your day.
It’s never just about the makeup for me 🤍
Being on set for productions like this is one of my favorite parts of my job — showing up, collaborating, and making sure talent looks great from the first shot to the last.
Thank you for trusting me! 💛
@productionhub review!
✨ It’s never just makeup ✨
On your wedding morning, I do more than create a flawless look — I make sure your whole experience feels calm, supported, and seamless:
✨ Keep the energy in the room grounded & relaxed
✨ Read body language + adjust in real-time
✨ Make last-minute tweaks (spray tans, makeup touch-ups, etc.)
✨ Stay on top of your timeline so nothing feels rushed
✨ Communicate with your planner + photographer for smooth coordination
✨ Provide a calm, supportive presence for nerves or stress
✨ Use my 10+ years of experience to create camera-ready, long-lasting makeup
✨ Bring a full kit with backups so you don’t have to worry about a thing
✨ Deliver a skin-focused, customized look that’s authentically you
Your morning should feel as beautiful as you look. 💕
Now booking 2026 & 2027 brides — limited peak dates remaining! 🤍
Full circle moment on this one ✨
I had the chance to work on this shoot doing hair and makeup with a producer I hadn’t collaborated with since my days as an associate producer — so it felt really special to reconnect and create together again in a totally different role. Thank you @noirprismstudios for taking me along for this one, wonderful to work with you.
Even more meaningful was getting to be part of a project connected to the @thenasciences and hearing Ellen Ochoa speak. Listening to her perspective — blending science, education, and real-world impact — was honestly inspiring and a reminder of how powerful storytelling can be in spaces like this.
Grateful for experiences like this that bring together creativity, growth, and a little bit of everything I love. 🎥💄
Feeling so grateful for this sweet review! 💕 Thank you so much @robjinksphoto for the kind words — it means the world. I absolutely love working with you too… every wedding together is such a fun, easy, creative day. Here’s to many more! ✨🤍
If you need a wedding photographer I highly recommend @robjinksphoto
