ON LOCATION
With over two decades of experience, I’ve provided professional makeup & hair styling for everything from tv & film projects, photoshoots and commercial work, to weddings, live events, and black-tie functions.
Whether you’re preparing for a shoot, stepping on stage, or getting ready for a once-in-a-lifetime moment, I bring a calm, experienced presence and a polished, camera-ready result.
It’s not just about makeup. It’s about having the right professional in your corner. Someone who’s attuned to the details, anticipates what’s needed, and creates space for you to be fully present in the moment.
I’m based in Nashville but available for travel. I book up to six months in advance, and dates can fill quickly. Early inquiries are always appreciated.
I would love to a part of your project or event.
