My Favorite Hair and Makeup Artists I Worked With Last Year
So many aspects go into getting a perfect picture. As your photographer, I will help you select the ideal setting to suit you and your family or partner, as well as the style and occasion. But one thing I can't help with is your glam look.
During my time as a photographer, I have been lucky enough to work with and meet some very talented hairstylists and makeup artists! I definitely recommend investing in the service of an experienced hairstylist or makeup artist for any photography session we do together. Hiring a professional is a wonderful way to make sure you’re looking your absolute best during our photo session. It’s amazing how they’re able to take your natural beauty and make you look perfectly photo-ready. If you’re in the northern Utah area, I wholeheartedly recommend these talented women!
