Megan reached out to me after posting in one of the Facebook wedding groups needing hair and makeup for her early November wedding. I commented with my info and told her to reach out if she was interested after looking over my portfolio and pricing and such. And I guess she liked what she saw because she wanted to book with me. Yay! She signed a booking agreement pretty quickly and we set up a date to do a trial run of hair and makeup. Below is that info. Products used: Tempt

I met Emma back in September when we trialed the hair and makeup look for her wedding day schedule for mid-November. I'll have to look back in my emails, but I'm like 98% sure she was a referral from a previous bride and I love meeting new brides this way! I probably say this way too often or maybe I see only the best in people, but I honestly thought Emma and I clicked pretty well... enough to become real friends if our paths were to ever organically cross. Anywho, Emma and

The thing I love about Nashville is that there is a plethora of very talented photographers, bloggers, chefs, beauty teams, and more! And I know I work with boudoir photographer, Kristen Fonville, pretty often, but I also love working with others too! I had a recent boudoir session with Babydoll Boudoir photographer, Gayla Thompson and her client Miss T earlier in December. We met at her in-home studio and got to work doing makeup only that day. She already had her face done

Miss B came in the studio in early November for her first boudoir photo shoot. It was her birthday and her husband helped plan the shoot with Kristen Fonville. I love that he was so active with picking out her outfits and scheduling all the girly appointments to get her ready for the photo shoot. She was super sweet and we talked pretty naturally while getting ready. Makes my job easy and makes the morning fly by. Below is a list of the makeup products I used on her that day

Mid-December is when Miss G came into see Kristen Fonville in her Ashland City studio for her first boudoir photo shoot. This might seem weird to say, but I was immediately drawn to her dark hair, dark eyes, and tanned skin. There were so many possibilities running through my head of what kind of look we were going for before we even spoke. Lol. We ended up going for more of a "classic" smokey eye with an overall dark eye look and paired it with a nude lip. Below are a list o

Miss A came in to see Kristen Fonville for her first boudoir photo shoot in mid-December. She booked because she's getting married in May and wanted to have a sweet surprise for her husband-to-be and I love the notion of this gift! He does know about the shoot but nothing about the details and I think he's going to LOVE it! These are the products I used on Miss A and I curled her hair using a 25mm curling wand and a workable hairspray. Products used: Giorgio Armani Luminous S

Miss C is another repeat offender with Kristen Fonville and her list of boudoir clients. I was her hair and makeup artist about a year ago except that she had platinum blonde hair then and I'm quite fond of the brunette too! The one thing that I can't get over every time I see Miss C's photos is her piercing eyes. Can you just scoop that outta your head and put them in mine? Please and thaaaaanks. Now I'm sounding like a creep. Let's change that around and read below the list

Miss A came in for her very first boudoir session with Kristen Fonville in early December. She was planning it for her husband, and while he knew about the photo shoot, he didn't have ALL the details. So there will still be some element of surprise when he get these images back. Miss A was a little quiet at first, but we got to talking and we had some things in common! What I did as my day job before quitting to pursue this full time is what she does for a living. I thought i

Miss D came in to see Kristen Fonville for her third boudoir session in early December. It was the second time that I've been her hair and makeup artist and I was just as excited to see her this time around as I was the first time. This time around is a COMPLETE surprise for her husband so I wasn't able to post her before and after pictures on Instagram, but now that Christmas has come and gone, I've been given the green light. Here's the products I used on her face and we cu

You may remember seeing Miss K's face around my blog before. This is my second time doing her hair and makeup as Kristen Fonville's client. She's such a fun lady and I get SO excited when I see that it's her session day because she's open to fun colors and I love it! This time around, she did more themed outfits and I diiiiiieeeee knowing that I've got some pictures to show you. She's got some Beauty and the Beast, Star Wars, and Harry Potter. I just love that her hubby is so

One thing I love about working with Kristen Fonville doing makeup and hair for her boudoir clients is that we don't apply a set "look" to every head. I talk with each lady and really hone in on what type of look she wants. We don't have to go "ham" with the smoky eyes or don't have to do a red lip. It's all a matter of what you're comfortable with and what you'll like in the end. Miss K came into Kristen's studio in late November and told me she really loves plums so I decide

Miss S scheduled her first boudoir session with Kristen Fonville when she was dating a special someone, but once the big day arrived, they split....and you know what? That's totally okay! Miss S still made a point to do this photo shoot for herself because GRL PWR!!! A lot of times, women start families and priorities shift. So the #selflove hides away in the background. These photo shoots are such an eye opener and force you to look in the mirror and tell yourself that you'r

#SorryNotSorry that I post so many boudoir sessions with Kristen Fonville. She's seriously got mad skills behind the camera and if you haven't thought about booking a session with her, just do it! Miss J came in over the summer for her session and she was a little nervous to start, but warmed up quickly once us gals just chattered amongst each other. Aside from seeing the big reveal from "before" and "after", I love getting to know each of Kristen's clients. It's so great! An

Miss A booked her first boudoir session with Kristen Fonville earlier this year and came in the studio back in August. Small world..... I know Miss A from a previous job we worked together and it was nice seeing a familiar face! We got to catch up and I know it probably eased some nerves with her seeing a familiar face as well. She's getting married next year and decided to give the gift of these photos to her soon-to-be husband. I absolutely LOVE the idea of this and wish I

Miss K came into The Adore Girls Nashville studio in late November for her first boudoir photo shoot. She got married last winter in the snow. Yes, you heard me right. She showed me a couple of wedding photos while we were getting ready and talk about a dream wedding!?! Anywho, she's a fellow makeup enthusiast and dabbles a little in the makeup profession so we had lots to talk about. I don't normally go ham with my smoky eyes -- because let's be honest, that dark of eye make

Amanda and Zach had their wedding set for the last Saturday in September this year at Carriage Lane Inn in Murfreesboro. Amanda and I met for her trial run earlier this year -- I wanna say it was February or at least a month that was earlier -- and below is the look we achieved. I don't know about you, but I personally LOVE seeing more natural makeup looks on brides. And that's not to knock a bride who loves glam, because I love that too, but my personal preference is the mor

Caroline reached out to me because one of her friends got married earlier this year and she liked my hair skills, so we quickly set up a hair trial. She met at my house prior to her October wedding so we could hone in on her version of perfect for her wedding day. She didn't want any volume at the crown. We ended up just pulling back an inch or so from the front to to connect their half-up hairdo once the wired crown was in place. And then I curled with a wand to give her wav

I met Bre on her wedding day back in mid-September. I'm a preferred vendor with the B & B she got married at, so she reached out to me about needing services. When you talk about a super sweet human being, Bre is that. She was easy to talk to, was open to how her look would be her version of perfect, and I'm glad we clicked. Bre and Dustin planned to elope her because, honestly, I should've gone this route too. Not that I don't appreciate all the time and energy spent on my w

Lyndsey reached out to me about her October wedding needing hair and makeup and I can't quite remember how she found me because she booked in April. Actually, now that I'm typing this out, I'm like 90% sure one of her friends booked me and that friend recommended me. Small world! Lol. Anywho, we set up a trial run before the wedding and below is more info on makeup and hair if you're curious. Products used on bride: Temptu s/b airbrush foundation no4, ColourPop no filter conc

**DISCLAIMER // This wedding was booked through Eye Do Hair and Makeup Talent Agency not through Declan + Mae. So while I cannot claim this wedding as my own, I can post pictures and other info about the special day.** I met Kimmy through my third party booking team Eye Do. I do maybe one wedding a month with them, sometimes less. We trialed with just makeup several months before the early October wedding and when the big day arrived, I did hair and makeup for just her and th
