About

Hello my name is Lauren. I love what I do. I have the passion, natural eye and professionalism to make you feel your best; by looking your best!

I am a Licensed Makeup Artist and Professional Photographer.Having originally gone to school for photography, I realized I wanted to offer more to my clients. I wanted to make every woman look her best and bring her true beauty forward and have that registered through the images. So I decided to go back to school and get my Esthetics license for skin care and makeup artisty.

Since then, I have been doing professional makeup for my photography sessions. Being behind the scenes as well as hands on has given me the knowledge and expertise to give my clients a well rounded experience. Whether I am behind the camera, with a brush in my hand or both, being apart of someones special day is truly rewarding. It's my job to make you look and feel beautiful so you have great memories for years!

Lauren is the BEST!!

To say Lauren is incredibly talented is an understatement!! I have never looked and felt more beautiful in my life thanks to Lauren. She is truly an artist. Everyone in my wedding party and the mothers looked and felt amazing. And everyone had a makeup look that suited their style. We had a mix of glam girls and some that wear less makeup and she made everyone look beautiful and comfortable as well as make the group look balanced and cohesive. Both moms were always very happy with their makeup looks- ladies tell the moms not to worry- Lauren is a pro and she’s got it! I want to yell from the rooftops to book Lauren because I am certain you will look gorgeous.

Perfection

As someone who knows and loves makeup, Lauren seriously has some sort of magic that I didn't even know was possible to use! She creates absolute perfection that LASTS. ALL. DAY. Seriously. We started getting ready at 6am and by 11pm myself and my bridesmaids looked EVEN BETTER! It was sorcery I swear! Our skin looked so hydrated and glowy and beautiful. Lauren is so talented and fun to work with and she knows her stuff. As a makeup junkie and someone who was very hesitant to have their makeup done by someone else, Lauren did her thing and made me look incredible. I never wanted to take it off! Don't even question if you should book her for your wedding. If you want glowy, healthy, beautiful looking skin and your features to pop, go with her! Thank you Lauren!

She's awesome!

I was so happy with my make up for my daughters wedding. She made it easy to tweak any personal preferences I had and did a beautiful job. My make up lasted all day and night. In addition, she was so sweet answering all of my questions about the products she was using and how to get my every day make up to last. Lastly, as a photographer, she knows precisely how heavy (or not) bridal make up needs to be to look great in photos. I would highly recommend her.

The Real Kardashian Experience

The title of this is true. Lauren makes you feel like a celeb getting ready. Lauren is a joy to work with. Aside from making us feel and look fabulous she has an amazing personality which makes the getting ready process even more fun. My makeup looked amazing, and stayed on ALL day and night with no touch ups needed.
All of my bridesmaids were raving about their makeup as well.
I would reccomend Lauren for all weddings as she creates perfection.

Love Lauren- had a great experience!

Loved having Lauren as the makeup artist for my wedding day. She is the most relaxed, fun person (despite having to get up at 3 am on the day of [and with no complaint!]). Airbrush is the way to go as far as your makeup lasting the entire day and making you look perfecto. It is definitely a stark difference, so many of my bridesmaids initially were uncomfortable but after a bit they got used to it and loved it. (People who normally don’t wear makeup at all may prefer traditional style of makeup because of that stark difference!). Lauren was easy to work with and sooo easy to talk to- would recommend!

Makeup for wedding 9/21/19

Omg! Lauren did our makeup for my wedding on 9/21. She makes anyone look fabulous!!! She is the nicest person and is so easy to work with. She very positive and knowledgeable about skin and what works best for you. Halfway through the wedding planning process, my husband and I moved from IL to Tennessee. It made planning more stressful, but she made me feel everything was going to work out and was easy to schedule trials when we were in town. She did makeup for me, my mom, aunt, jr bridesmaid, and a few of my bridesmaids. Everyone looked gorgeous!! I 15/10 recommend her and her services. I will for sure go to her anytime I need my makeup done for any event. Your the best Lauren and made my day great even though it down poured the whole day!

Lauren is amazing!

I'm so happy that I hired Lauren to do my makeup for my wedding last month! My makeup looked beautiful all day and even lasted through the hot, humid weather. Lauren was super attentive, helpful, and patient with me throughout the entire process. I emailed her a lot throughout the process with various questions and thoughts and her responses were always super helpful and prompt. On the morning of my wedding, I was so nervous that I started shaking while she was putting my makeup on- she calmed me down and helped me go from nervous to excited. I loved working with Lauren and felt like we had known each other for years. I also had so much fun with her during my trial and I was super appreciative that she drove to me since I live out of state and don't have a car when I come home to visit. Before I officially hired her, I asked her to do my makeup for our engagement photos and I immediately knew that I had to have her for my wedding as well. She made me look and feel so beautiful during both occasions. My girls' and mom's makeup for the wedding also looked incredible, and they really loved working with her as well! I can't thank Lauren enough and am so glad that I hired her!

Lauren will make you an even more beautiful bride!

To start off, I had a makeup trial PRIOR to meeting Lauren that I was a bit upset by. I don’t wear a lot of makeup and one of my fears for my wedding makeup was that I wasn’t going to look like myself. I wanted to enhance the way that I looked, not cover everything up - the first makeup trial I had failed at this. So, I went into my trial with Lauren with a bit of skepticism that she wouldn’t be able to do what I was hoping for. Boy was I wrong! Lauren talked to me before starting listened to my fears and told me to trust her, she explained the differences in warm and cool tones and helped me land on exactly what I wanted for my wedding. This will sound conceited, but I could not stop staring at myself after my trial! I looked beautiful and very bridal but still looked like me - exactly what I wanted to achieve. Day of was nothing different, she knew exactly what to do and I looked great. All of my bridesmaids looked amazing as well, even some that were hesitant with makeup and had the same fears I did, agreed that they looked amazing! I had many mini-break downs the morning of where I would laugh then cry and Lauren was there to retouch me and give me a tissue. Book Lauren - she knows what she is doing!

What a joy it is to work with Lauren!

I met Lauren at my best friend’s wedding that I stood up in a year before, and when I started the daunting search of finding a make-up artist I realized that no one compared. I reached out to Lauren immediately and she responded in under 24 hours. Lauren is incredibly professional. She starts with a questionnaire to get to know you, she is diligent with her contracts, she is flexible on setting up your bridal trial, and she’s so easy to work with!
It’s evident from photos that Lauren is incredibly talented, but what photos don’t show you are the creative gears in her head that are constantly churning as she does your make up. She watches for how your skin reacts, what happens to your lip color, she can color match perfectly, and she pivot on the drop of a dime if you don’t absolutely love your make-up. Lauren is a pro and is willing to do exactly what you want or will make suggestions based off her years of expertise. I cannot say enough good things about Lauren, you will truly love working with her!

Lauren is a miracle worker when it comes to make-up. My entire wedding party was gushing all day about how much they loved their make up! She is super professional, has all her own supplies (even a chair and lights) when she comes to your getting ready destination, and is a blast to have with you that morning of your big day! I checked out some bigger “on-site” companies but none made me feel as confident and comfortable as Lauren.
