Book the Artist

Welcome back to another beautiful day on the blog!

Today we are chatting about one key detail of your session: professional makeup.

If you have followed me for a while you probably know that I used to require using my collaboration hair and makeup artist before all sessions, but I chose to make that optional early this year.

Whether you add on hair and makeup is up to you but I do recommend it for several reasons. 

1. Professional makeup is different than everyday makeup and not everyone knows how to apply makeup for photos. We want accentuation to happen in all the right areas of face. Think eye-poppin, not an accidental double chin.
2. Get the full experience, why not pamper yourself? Sometimes we need a break and sometimes we want the full experience, dammit! There is nothing wrong with choosing yourself for a treat once and awhile.
3. I use my hair and makeup artists regularly, so I know them and trust them with my clients. I have used Beauty by Emily Morse & Beauty by Lauren. Both girls are incredible and have worked in the hair and makeup industry for years. Their goal isn’t to change what you look like or to cover up your natural beauty. Their goal is to enhance what is already there. One notable offering these girls have is that they do airbrush foundation instead of traditional. I personally prefer airbrush foundation because it looks more natural in photos than traditional foundation does. It’s also a lot more lightweight. They will put on false lashes for you too because it makes your eyes pop! The lashes might feel a little weird at first but you get used to them after a few minutes.
4. Time and Planning Purposes. We have all been there- we didn’t have as much time as we thought, or it’s a bad hair day, or kids, or or or… It happens, but when you book the full experience, you can show up on time and enjoy yourself without the stress of missing that clump of hair or not having time for eyeliner.
5. My clients have never had a bad experience with my H+M artists. No elaboration needed, they’re good, that is all!

What if I like to do my own makeup and I like how I do it?

Girl, you are SO welcome to book a DIY hair and makeup session! I would love to see you?

Can I ask them to tweak their process a bit?

Yes, you will be put in contact with them close to your session and can ask any questions to make it more comfortable for yourself.

Are they local?

Yes! My girls are VERY close to my studio. Just another perk. Get H+M done and walk a couple blocks in our spunky downtown Bay City for your boudie sesh!

Do you get commission when we book the professional H+M Artist?

Nope! I’m just here to take some stunning photos of you, babe.

Any other questions? Drop them in my inbox! I would love to put any of your fears to rest so that you can get the most out of this life changing experience (At least, that’s what my clients call it).

Above all, I want you to feel like you got exactly what you set out to get with your boudoir experience. I’m all about self-worth and being natural in your own skin and these ladies help me provide that experience. I am so grateful for the countless clients that have walked through my doors after getting their H+M done and trusted these women with their vulnerable photo experience. The hair and makeup provided is never less than passionate and stunning.

So let’s get you booked for an enchanting boudoir experience starting with some professional H+M and ending with a new air of confidence and self-worth. See you around the studio…or the salon….wherever we happen to meet first 😉
