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!!

If you’re new here, you shouldn’t be shocked t If you’re new here, you shouldn’t be shocked that I’m posting about this one month after the fact! I turned 40 last month and it was a little weird but I embraced it by planning (with major help from @elizabeth.flake and @greenhousepickersisters ) an actual birthday party! Y’all it was quite possibly my fave night ever. 

So many sparkles! And neon! And dancing! And just so much happiness. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did! I’m so thankful for every single person who came out and celebrated. I had no idea so many people would be there!! I love every single one of you guys as well as all of you who couldn’t be there! Thank you for making me feel so special - I just want to do it all again!! 

To the people who helped me so much for this party below, seriously, thank you! Y’all are some of my faves in the event industry but more than that, you each mean so much to me and I am so thankful that you came out to dance with me! 🤩

Also shoutout to @ashley_currin who took my sparkly dress and said, “it could be better” and hand stitched the rhinestone trim all around the neckline of my dress and cross crossed it in the back making it a one of a kind couture piece. ✨

Headshot event at your model home? Heck yes! @da Headshot event at your model home? Heck yes! 

@davidsonhomesllc partnered with @richardbarlowphoto to provide these beautiful headshots for their realtors and clients! When I do events like this, the client comes ready for photo day and I get a few minutes to get them camera ready. Usually they don’t even know I’m going to be there so to get a little zhuzh is a special treat! I love it!
Real life royalty 🤍🤍 I met Kathleen yearrr Real life royalty 🤍🤍 

I met Kathleen yearrrrs ago and have gotten to play with her beautiful face many times but being asked to do her actual, real life wedding makeup was just unexpected and a dream. She is amazing and kind and silly and so, so smart. I’ve loved watching her grow as an artist and now post retiring from Carolina Ballet, go on to pursue different roles within the ballet community. I can’t wait to see the changes she makes in that world of hers!! 

Congratulations to you and Travis!! So much love to you both! 🤍🤍

I’m totally missing my seniors and I can’t wai I’m totally missing my seniors and I can’t wait to meet all my class of ‘25 babes! Also, class of ‘25 geeeez 😳 

I still feel like I’m 23 most of the time. Anyone else? Only last night I was saying how I didn’t invite many “grown ups” to my birthday party coming up - I was promptly reminded that everyone who will be there are in fact grown ups…Rude.
