Early Sunday Morning...

Sorry its alittle late but here is a picture from my September 21st wedding I was able to be apart of. The girls were gorgeous and were alot of fun to work with. It was an early day... 6 AM, that meant I was doing my makeup at 5 AM (It was alittle scary looking) :0)

Fall 2008 Wedding Expo!

Yesterday I was able to be apart of this great event! Janis (my boss and partner in crime) and I were vendors for the first time at this great bridal show! I saw many familiar faces and met several new people too! I was a great place to make connections with photographers and of course bakeries... yummy! We were set up next to the Flour Pot Bakery and they were amazing! I will be using them from now on for special occasions! We learned a lot and can't wait to do it again! Also a special note to the brides to be: Thanks for taking time yesterday to speak with us! We can't wait to make your day even brighter!

Like I said we LOVED the cakes, Janis let me take this one :0)

Happy Anniversary to us!

I usually do not post personal things but I wanted to show off :0) My hunny and I just celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary! I am pretty darn proud of everything we have accomplished so far. We actually attended a wedding that weekend and Scotty was in the wedding. I was nice to sit and just watch a wedding...... not work one! :0) I can't wait to see what next year will bring!

Blah Blah Blah

Do you ever have that feeling? Well I have with artistry lately :0(..... But this week and today have been the boost I needed! Today was only icing on the cake with Cayce's makeup session with her sister and mother! It was a beautiful time and beautiful girls! She was a gorgeous bride inside and out!

On another note look for me in September for the Bridal Expo!!! This is a busy time for us but SO excited! So if you go please look for me! I hope its a succesful one!

Hope everyone is having a great week and here is a picture of our new boat, the hubby, me and a VERY small fish (but it was our first caught on the boat!) Enjoy and remember to enjoy LIFE!!!!

Congrats to Marina!

Saterday I was able to assist in Marina's wedding. I have known her for a couple years and she is such a beautiful person. Again I KNOW I forgot the camara and did not get to connect with the photographer but... she looked amazing and so did the wedding party! Congrats girlie!

Congrats to Jennifer & Nick!

What an amazing wedding I was able to work last weekend! Jennifer wore a lace fitted gown and the bridesmaids dresses were blue green. They were wonderful to work with and I had a blast with the cool and calm Jennifer! Here are a couple of photos for the big day by the always fabulous Kara and Jeremy Pennington!

A Wedding Weekend!

What a great weekend I have had! 3 weddings in one weekend?... thats right and each one was a blessing!

Fist bride of the weekend was Brittany. I have known her for a long time since we went to church together when we were younger. She looked gorgeous and so happy. So... Congrats girlie!

The next bride was Danielle. I traveled to Sweetwater Branch to do the makeup. The girls wore bright pink dresses, so I glammed them up with eyes to match! Danielle had lashes applied and rocked out the makeup to match. I forgot my camera and was not able to meet the photographer so no pictures for this one! :0(

Finally the last wedding of the weekend was Sunday! Pam and her bridal party were awesome! I felt like we were are girlfriends! You guys made my job SO easy cause y'all are gorgeous! Pam did eyelashes and everyone did a smokey eye! What a fun day.

I I love weddings and this weekend proved that even though it was challenging and I feel as though wedding are coming out my ears, I still truly love what I do and can't wait for next weekend of weddings!

A Note to Potential Brides

Just wanted to let ya'll know that we are in the heat of wedding season. Though booking a makeup artist seems as though something you can do last minute, please remember that my calender is booking up! If you are interested in my services please do not hesitate to grab your date before some else does! Happy Planning.

There will be amazing photos to follow soon shot by a GREAT photographer! My portfolio will now be almost complete... what a relief! :0) I feel that with each wedding I am starting to get more and more creative... watch out :0)

Prayer

We do we put God on the back burner so often? I can talk so easily to my friends and family so easily and frequently but not my heavenly father? I need to remember that prayer is a conversation, expressing my thoughts and feelings to my best friend! My brother shared a video with me expressing these thoughts. Jesus is right there with us we just have to reach to him and he will take care of the rest! I pray tonight that I will lean on him daily and let him lead me and my family. It seems so easy, but our selfish nature tends to want to take over and give us doubts about trusting. So, I need to just talk to God and work through my struggles, because prayer is just a fancy word for a heart to heart with my best friend!

Feeling refreshed

After a totally exhausting week of weddings I finally feel like I can breath! Still I really enjoying being apart of the brides day. While spending those moments with them it makes me reflect on my own marriage and the blessing that God has given me in Scotty! The newness that the bride and groom are experiencing that day in their relationship is so exciting! Though we are remarking on 3 years as husband and wife there is no reason that my eyes shouldn't still sparkle like the bride does on her wedding day for her groom. I am so thankful for every blessing in my life and sometimes I need to sit back and reflect on them time to time!

Who Knew?

Today was awsome! God is always there for my little family. He seems to always give you that little boost right when you think you have sunk. Work is such a blessing! I am blessed to have a boss who loves the Lord and treats my as one of her own. I love my career! Who knew this little tomboy would grow up to be a makeup artist? I am totaly book this week with apointments! We were getting so frustrated with life and we get this little boost! Scotty and I have learned that God knows all the chapters of our story we just have to slow down and read it!
