Tricia was a last minute wedding add-on for me. We booked it maybe two weeks before the wedding day and I was ecstatic she chose me to do hair for her and her ladies! Even more last minute, she asked that I do her makeup as well. So I ended up doing nine hairs and 1 makeup. She had one other artist there doing makeup, but I don't recall her name. I'll try and get that info from Tricia and will update it then. For now, I'll leave it blank below. Venue: Barn in the Bend Photogr

You guyyysss, Lauren and Dave are such a precious couple. You know when you can see the love just oozing from their skin, but like in a good way not disgusting or gag-worthy. Lol. That's them. It made me feel good inside and happy to know there are people like that still in the world. She was a joy to get to know during the trial time and on the wedding day at the end of October. We got to know a little about her family as well and they're all just as sweet. Wanna hear a fun

Miss C came in to see Kristen Fonville for her very first boudoir session a couple of weeks ago. She was super chill, didn't have a specific look she wanted to recreate (which gives me more creative freedom) and totally rocked a berry lip! She said that's her go-to color and it's so freakin' pretty on her, wouldn't you say?!

Every now and then Kristen gets clients that give me free will with what they want for their makeup. I'm not talking just like an amped up version of their own makeup -- which is what they want mostly -- but total loss of control and I can just work my magic. Miss A came in knowing she wanted a certain look. She told me "Make me as slutty looking as possible!" And can I just say it made me giddy to go a little dark and dirty with it. Below is a list of what we used in case yo

Miss M came into Kristen Fonville's studio last week for her boudoir photo shoot and she was a ball of energy from the get-go! She was easy to talk to, had plenty of stories to tell as Kristen and I did too, and let me just play in makeup. There wasn't a certain type of "look" she was going for, just as long as she looked hot! I did love that she wanted to rock a red lip. Not everyone has the confidence for it and she DEFINITELY rocked it. Products used: Tarte Shape Tape hydr

This is now my second time working with local jewelry company, Simon & Ruby and I just love it! Lindsay reached out to me about this time last year for their Hanalei Collection and we did the photo shoot at local plant shop, Flora, in East Nashville. It launched this past Spring. And we met at the end of Spring to shoot again, but for her Luna Collection which launched this Fall. She's a great designer and I truly love all her pieces. They are one of a kind and definitely som

Miss A-M came into Kristen Fonville's boudoir studio in early August for her first boudoir photo shoot. One thing I love about Kristen and her clients is that she doesn't shoot "models" or "skinny" girls only. Believe me, there are some photographers out there that do that and it doesn't make the average lady feel that great. I know I could never live up to that. Anywho, I think that's one of the reasons Kristen is so amazing at what she does. She's going to make you feel and

Miss C came in for her first boudoir session with The Adore Girls in their Murfreesboro studio. She came in with a specific hair and makeup look and I was thrilled with her inspiration. SHARON TATE, you guysssss. She's an iconic face in the 60s and I was ecstatic to duplicate that kind of style with her hair and makeup. Products used: Mac prolongwear waterproof foundation in nw20 mixed with ColourPop no filter concealer in Fair08 as the base and concealer, RCMA no color powde

Miss I scheduled a boudoir photo shoot with The Adore Girls and I could tell the morning I met her that she was extremely excited about it. She's been remarried for 4 years now and there's a little age difference being that she's 50 years old and her hunny is 65 years old. She told me they act like teenagers doing all sorts of new activities, traveling, and music festivals together. I just love that there is hope for older women to find love again. I know if I were in her sit

Miss M came in to see The Adore Girls in their Nashville studio about a month ago and she was a hoot to chat with while doing hair and makeup! I know a lot of ladies book these sessions for their significant others, but Miss M was doing this for herself! GRL PWR all the way!! She did come in with makeup on already and rather than wiping off what was already done, I just built on top of it. Below is a list of the makeup products I used that day if you're curious about colors o

Miss T came into see The Adore Girls in their Murfreesboro studio in early October for her second photo shoot. Eeeeee! Miss T got married a year ago and her first shoot was a present to her new husband. And this time around, the photo shoot was just because and wanted to go more sexy. I can definitely bring some sexy with hair and makeup. I totally forgot to take any before and after pictures, but below is a list of what makeup products I used if you're curious. Products used

If you didn't know this about me, here's a fun fact. I didn't always do hair and makeup full time. August 2017 is when I took that leap of faith to pursue the beauty world head-on. Before that, I did weddings on the weekends, but still had a day job working at an office. I worked for an orthopaedic surgeon for close to 7 years when I quit and took on several positions within the office. I started out doing reception, then I moved to accounts receivable, then moved to coding,

I met Beth with Freshie & Zero earlier this year through another jewelry designer in Nashville. It just so happened that she set up a photo shoot the week that my husband had heart surgery, so I was a little off my personality-game, but it was a great shoot nonetheless. If you haven't heard of this local jewelry designer, seriously, get on it. All the pieces are minimal and can be worn with every look. I got some images back from the photographer, and I couldn't be happier. T

I got an inquiry from Sarah a few months back for hair and makeup for her wedding last month. Her photographer, Ace Photography, referred me and we connected that way. Seeeeeeee? All those emails I send out during "down time" works out well because now I've got a good relationship with that team and we work together often. Another connection I had with Sarah and was probably the real reason she reached out to me was that I work a lot with Kristen Fonville doing hair and makeu

Miss T came into Kristen Fonville's studio recently for her very first boudoir photo shoot. Honestly, it's a first for most of us. Lol. She planned the shoot for her husband and he's getting the photos for Christmas and knows nothing about the shoot. She told me when getting ready that she just chopped off her hair and is still figuring things out with how to style it. One of my favorite things to do with shorter hair is to give it a wave. It's hard to give it an actual curl

Miss A scheduled her first boudoir photo shoot with Kristen Fonville for early this month and I was her hair and makeup artist. Another hair color that I'm obsessed with is redheads. It doesn't matter the tone of red that you have, I will 98% always apply eye shadow in those same warm tones. That's just how I work and it's absolutely stunning every time. Just trust me. Miss A set up this session as a Christmas present for her hubby and he already knows about it, but he won't

Miss S came into Kristen Fonville's studio recently for her first boudoir photo shoot. To be honest, I was immediately drawn into her long, dark hair. It's something I've never had and even when I tried dying it that dark, I looked a hot mess. It was never a color that look right on me, and I'm sad because I'm obsessed with those that do have it. Besides that, Miss S was super fun to chat with while doing hair and makeup. She didn't tell me at the time, but we started followi

Kristen Fonville had in Miss M for her first boudoir photo shoot a little over a week ago and she was such a blast to get to know! She has kids and found out she isn't a doormat when it comes to discipline. That's my kind of mom. Lololol. But seriously, it's a good thing when it comes to your personal life too. Anyone that doesn't have clear direction and discipline in their life makes me think of Chidi from The Good Life. You know that show where they're sent to "the bad pla

Miss J came into Kristen Fonville's studio a little over a week ago and I could tell she was just so excited to be there! Some of the ladies are a little more on the anxious side and they get quiet about half way through the hair and makeup process. But Miss J was awesome the whole way through. Not to say those that are more nervous are bad in any way, but I think you know what I'm trying to say. Anywho, if you're ever wondering what makeup products I used, below is that list

Miss J came into Kristen Fonville's photography studio a week or so ago and I was in love with her hair! I used to do my hair like this back in the day and I'm glad someone is still rocking it. She came in the studio with her best friend to help with some nerves and honestly, I think Miss J was her bestie's guinea pig. Lolz. You know she probably booked after Miss J was done for the day, right? Anywho, Miss J was doing this photo shoot for her hubby and kept it a secret. I do
