Michelle did my makeup for my wedding over the summer and I absolutely loved it! She even did a trial run for my bridal portraits and was open to the look that I was going for and brought that look to life. She does such an amazing job and personalizes everything to your skin tone, so it blends well and complements you! She also has the sweetest and most fun personality! I highly recommend her!

Michelle Clark is such an awesome and sweet make-up artist! She did my make-up for my wedding day and it came out amazing! Her make-up trial was so helpful, too. She listened to all my ideas and really took the time do everything perfectly! She made me, my bridesmaids, my mom, mother-in-law, and even a few friends look and feel so beautiful, too. Her assistant, Bethany, was just as incredible to work with! It felt like we'd all known each other for ages, as well! They both brought so much flair, fun, and comfort to my wedding day! :)

Michelle is one of the most fun and gifted makeup artists in the Raleigh area. I couldn't have been happier with how my makeup looked on my wedding day. If you are looking for a flawless makeup look for any occasion, I would highly recommend Michelle.

Michelle is fabulous! She did my make up for my wedding along with all of my bridal party. She was fantastic to work with and made us all feel beautiful without feeling like we had tons of make up on. We have a wonderful experience and look forward to being able to use Michelle and her team in the future! Thank you Michelle!

Michelle did my makeup and hair for my senior year pictures (I've attached a couple) and I was absolutely blown away!! I came in with only a couple pictures from Pinterest and told her to do whatever she thought would look best on me! The finished look was flawless :) In addition to her amazing makeup and hair talent, she was so fun to talk to and made me feel so comfortable and beautiful during the entire process. 100% recommend!!

Behind the scenes at branding photos for @centered

Behind the scenes at branding photos for @centeredchiro and yes, I did find a song about a chiropractor Dino. But don’t worry, all these Docs are a little more current and up to speed on their chiropractic skills than your typical dinosaur.

Person vote of confidence for them because as you can see in the last clip, I’m a patient!

So grateful for winning this award and for @real.jameswalters taking the only photos I have with my Oscar (as my dad called it).

Favvvve event of the year is the @trianglenace Gala awards night! I get to see all of my wonderful events people honored for their incredible work throughout the year!!

I went to a few of these galas BEFORE I EVEN KNEW THERE WAS A THEME EACH YEAR!! Once I found out, it was all over! I loooove a theme and a fancy dress!

With this years’ theme being casino, I knew what I wanted to do - I wanted to Be the game table!! ♥️ ♣️ ♦️ This year my dress came from Amazon. Then @ashley_currin added the horsehair hem to make it look more rigid at the bottom, she added the suite fabric to the slit and to the top. I cut out individual cards and rhinestoned each one of them to be added to the top. And stoned the slit fabric so there was a little more pizazz! ✨

The poker chip purse is from Amazon - I saw a Chanel clutch I wanted and well, just didn’t have $6k so @jordanmay7890 and I made one with acrylic paint, modpodge, and rhinestones. 😂😂
Fabric and dice earrings from @etsy!

Seriously, last night was amazing! I won best makeup for @alextheesti wedding!! Then, 🍒 on top was @tanningqueen and @freshaffairs giving me a best dressed award on the fly! Amazing!!

Perhaps some unsolicited advice…

When looking for inspiration photos to show your makeup artist, please find photos that show unedited images and real people. I do NOT love breaking your heart but you have lines, pores, creases, texture, and more.

Why? Not because you’re old but because you’re a human. I’ve had many instances in the last couple of weeks where I’ve been sent heaaavily edited images and even AI images. I cannot make you look like that in person and I’m going to give you some realistic expectations.

What the editing and AI is doing to make people feel less than is terrible and I’m so sorry that I cannot provide you with unrealistic outcomes. Those wrinkles/lines will still be there but you know what, no one is going to be looking at them because your eyes will look stunning when I’m done with you!

I assure you, that if you come to sit in my chair knowing what your face looks like and that I cannot change certain things, you will leave feeling so happy and beautiful! 🤩

Also. If you have things that you want to change, update, or enhance - might I suggest the amazing skills over at @amelia.aesthetics 🥰🥰

It’s not my best color but I do love a good yellow. It’s just so happy!

Thank you @therootcollective for letting me go a little more editorial on this look from the last shoot!

Ps. These sneakers are the most comfortable ones you will wear. I loveee them.

I’ve known @lindseym_98 and her family for many years so the day was a fun one spent with her, her sister, her amazing mom, as well as her friends!

Plus I had @beth_corey with me for help including her new role of content creator 😂 and @jademarionhair was there for hair! 💜💜
