Photo shoot hair & make up

I met Martha during a photo shoot where she did my hair & make up. I highly recommend Martha for any hair &/or make up needs you might have. She asks great questions about your personal feelings regarding your thoughts on the needs & concerns you might have for your skin & hair and gives thoughtful & professional input. I loved the color palate Martha used for my make up and all of the products she used felt great and my make up looked fresh the whole day as did my hair. I would recommend Martha’s services to anyone and will definitely use her for any future needs I have.

I was so unbelievably pleased and happy! As a very picky bride, Martha listened to my ever desire and even when above and beyond- doing even more than I could have ever dreamed possible! DEFINITELY book her for any event coming up!

Amazing I highly recommend

Martha is the best person to choose for any special event. I had my bridal shoot outdoors in the peak of summer and my makeup and hair did not move out of place and it photographed flawlessly. Martha really took her time and listed to every concern I had given it was last minute and it would be outdoors. She executed the look flawlessly. She made me feel comfortable, confident and beautiful. Martha is truly passionate, caring and very considerate 10/10 I’ll definitely be choosing her for all my future events.

My vision was met!

Martha did the makeup for myself and bridal party in October 2021. I was beyond satisfied with her professionalism and talent. None of the ladies that got their makeup done wear makeup regularly. Martha managed to show off their natural beauty while at the same time making them look timeless. My bridal makeup was phenomenal. I didn’t have a vision. I told Martha “noticeable makeup yet still want to look like myself.” That’s exactly what she did. I loved my bridal look, including the winged eyeliner and darker lip stain. Martha even put a little blush on my step daughter to make her feel included. Martha was communicative, transparent, dependable, and kind. Everything you want in a makeup artist for any and ALL occasions!

Amazing experience

I wanted a very subtle make up for my graduation shoot. Martha did an amazing job and I couldn't be happier how the make up turned out to be 🥰 she was very patient from the day I booked her services to the day of the event and answered all my questions, helped me pick the best outfits, make up and hairstyle that suited all the different outfits I had planned for the shoot.

Ideal experience!

I spent 3 hours with Martha on my wedding day - more time than I spent with the majority of my guests - and she was a constant delight. Martha is both a calming influence when you’re feeling overwhelmed and a fun addition to a bridal party. I have a great wedding-day memory of her jamming out to a playlist I made. The day of, Martha gave me a massage and styled my makeup and hair. (I really do recommend getting a massage as well. Best one I’ve had in years. Pretty sure I fell asleep.) Leading up to the wedding, when my photographer and other contacts were slow to respond, Martha was prompt and available. What you want most is a stylist who actively listens to your requests, offers helpful recommendations, and does not sulk or argue if you disagree with a suggestion. In our initial meeting, I asked for the front strands of my hair to be twisted away from my face. She suggested braiding the hair instead. We tried both - as she was very generous with her time - and she was absolutely right; the braid accomplished the look I wanted far better. While I was extremely hesitant to wear fake eyelashes for the first time, she made me feel at ease enough to try it. Even then, I figured I wouldn’t end up wearing them on my wedding day. Now, I’m beyond grateful I gave it a shot! Not only did they make the color of my eyes and eye shadow pop, but she applied the eyelashes with such accuracy and gentleness that they stayed on the entire night, without giving me a moment of grief. She was also refreshingly easy-going and understanding when I departed from her recommendation. I don’t like wearing lipstick. Would I have looked better in pictures with it? Almost certainly. But Martha was respectful and professional when I expressed my decision to forego lipstick. If you want to get an idea of her personality and sense of humor before contacting her, I know she has a podcast/YouTube channel. In summary: gold stars all over the place. Props to Martha!

Great makeup and hair

Had hair and makeup done for my daughter for her senior photos (also had my makeup done by her) everything turned out beautiful! The shot was outside and it was hot but the makeup stayed on perfectly and felt light too!
Great experience!

Amazing! I highly recommend!

Martha did an amazing job doing my daughter’s make up and hair as well as myself, my mother, and other daughter. I received compliments ALL night on my makeup and I did not have to touch up once. I highly recommend Martha. She takes the time to listen to what you want to look like and she follows through!! Thank you Martha!

Great experience!

I highly recommend Martha! She created my perfect wedding look with just a couple photos. I didn’t have time for a trial because it was an out of town elopement, so I had to put my faith in her 100%. My make up was flawless and stayed on perfectly through an outdoor ceremony in almost 100 degree weather. My hair didn’t budge either! Her products are fantastic quality- absolutely lightweight and natural. No complaints at all about my experience.
