“Life has a way of testing a persons will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen all at once.” - Paulo Coelho
The last 18 months of my life have tested and stretched me in ways I never thought possible.
From navigating a divorce, becoming a first time solo home owner and starting a long distance relationship to shattering my ankle in peak wedding season then finding out I was over four months pregnant with a fully booked wedding season ahead.
Now here we are, running multiple businesses across two provinces with a five month old.
The support from every angle makes it possible and I’m so grateful.
It hasn’t been easy. The transition into motherhood and the additional workload is no joke. There have been many meltdowns and car ride strategy meetings to balance it all. And yet, even when it’s hard and I’m questioning if it’s all worth it, there are two things I know to be true: I love what I do and I want my son to have a mom that never stopped dreaming and having goals for herself.
Here’s to making the shift from surviving to thriving. It’s been a trip and I’m so excited to see where we go next. 💜 📸: @ctbrandingstudio

With my style of makeup, it’s not about completely changing the way you look. It’s about enhancing what you want to stand out and intentionally building a look with your features. One of my most common reactions:
“I love that I still look like me, just 𝕡𝕠𝕝𝕚𝕤𝕙𝕖𝕕 𝒻𝒶𝓃𝒸𝒾𝑒𝓇 𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅.”
💜💜💜

I suppose if I were to describe my makeup style in one look, this would be it - second skin kind of glam that enhances your features and is customized to every face. Diffused edges, intentional tones, and a whole lot of dimension. 💜

Spent the afternoon at @twobirdsonestonefarm doing a flower workshop.
Listening to the rain on a metal roof with a cup of hot tea just made it all the more whimsical. #whimsy #flowers #girlsday #girlsbelike ✨ 🌸
As your makeup artist, I want you to absolutely love your makeup on your wedding day, so never be afraid to ask to make adjustments to your bridal look.
Ideally, we’ll have already mapped out the look with a trial or a thorough consultation (with inspo photos!) and potential little tweaks will be all that’s needed to perfect the wedding day look!
