Congrats to Anna & Robby!

I had an amazing time working with Anna for her Gorgeous wedding!!! Anna wanted very natural makeup for her and her bridesmaids and her main goal was to look like herself. Her wedding was at Bay Laurel in Micanopy. The location was a photographers dream. Here are a couple pictures curtousy of Jessica Leah Photography

Welcome Baby Meffen!!

Hey everyone! Scotty and I welcomed our son, Traysen Meffen on October 2. He is healthy and beautiful! We are so in love. Everything went well and I was only in labor for 4 hours. Here are a couple of pictures to share. Thank you everyone for your prayers and love!

Its almost baby time!!!

I am getting so excited about out little one on his way! I am 37 weeks prego and so ready to meet our little Traysen!! I thought I would share a picture of my hottie (hubby) and I at our baby shower dinner!

This is SO Sex and the City

I had to post a picture of my oh so cute sister-in-law posing like a pro! We had alittle too much fun with some borrowed veils/ head pieces from Jays Bridal! Here is one of the looks that I LOVED :0)

Portfolio Work

I am so excited to have finally done these. We had such a fun day of hair and makeup! I met up with Deborah with Creekside clippers (who is by the way fab and does on location up-dos!) to have a day of portfolio work. All of the girls are wearing false eyelashes of all different styles. I do recommend this for a bride! Why? Well it makes you stand out and why not be a little more glam on your big day! Enjoy a few of the pictures from our fun day

Sneak peek of Kari

I cannot wait to see more pictures from this wedding but here is a sneak peak from the absolutly AMAZING Kara Pennington Photography. The whole wedding party looked fab and can't wait to post more soon!

Yay for Kristin!!

I got to work with Kristin on her wedding day July 4th! What a great way to spend the day. Both she and her bridesmaids were so cute and a blast to be around. Kristin wanted to stay very natural but flawless. One of her bridesmaids (http://www.jennhopkinsphotography.com/) is a photographer and she took some shots while the girls were prepping. Enjoy a couple from the day and congrats Kristin!!

Yay for Sondra!

A month ago I was privileged to work with Sondra on her wedding day. She had such a sweet spirit! She wanted a romantic look so we did a lightly smokey eye, false lashes and rosy cheeks. She was beautiful. Here are a few pictures provided by Powers Photography... I have been working with them alot lately :0)

The Gorgeous Becky!

I was able to be apart of Becky's big day a few weeks ago. She did a flawless look with purple and brown tones on the eyes, false strip lashes and a neutral lip. Here are a couple of pictures from her big day courtesy of the fab Powers Photography!!

Website!

I have finally created a website!!! It took me forever to do it but I am so glad I did! Please take a look at it. www.lm-makeupartistry.com

Caught in action!!

I love a good action shot... this one I think the photographer was outside. Didn't even see her haha

Congrats to Tracey & Matt!

I had the privilege of working with Tracey and her bridesmaids on her wedding day. First of all they were all SO gorgeous! Second the colors were hot pink!!! How fun. I met up with the wedding party in Ocala on May 1st and wished I could have stayed and partied with them, that is how much fun it looked! Pure by Lindsey was the Photographer... LOVE her work, enjoy a few images :0)

Project boudoir

I few months ago I got to work with Lindsey and Monica, 2 awesome photographers here in town in a sexy photo shoot. We had several clients who booked us that day. Two of them were models and are allowing us to use their shots. This was a great day of makeup and false lashes.... could I ask for more?? haha. Here is a sneak peak of one of the models Becca. Can't wait to post more soon!

Maternity Leave

This is just a little note to potential brides. I will be setting aside a 2 month block that I will not be booking on location weddings. This will be in the month of September and October. Our little man is due to arrive October 11. I will book weddings that can be done in the store the month of September. I will resume weddings in November but only a limited amount so please contact me if you have any questions. Starting in December my schedule should be back in full swing!

Here is a little picture to share of my bump process, I am 21 weeks here:

Yay for Sean & Emilie!!

I had a blast working and attending one of my good friends wedding! I have known Emilie for a few years now, so I was more than eager to assist her on her big day! She is a stunning girl to begin with so makeup was just icing on the cake! A co-worker and friend of mine was the photographer! If anyone is looking for amazing photography for under $1000.00 Krisphotography is your girl!

Congrats to the Newly Weds!

Here are a couple of pictures from a wedding I was able to be apart of! Angela was a gorgeous bride. The photographers were Powers Photography, who are amazing and I highly recommend!!

Calling all Models!!!

I have some exciting news!! (Well I think its pretty exciting!) I am working on a new portfolio and am needing some models to pose for them :0) Each girl that signs up will get the glam session (which is a $65.00 value) free! The only catch is that you do have to take a picture without makeup too. I am willing to work around your schedule so if you are wanting to do it on a Friday night or before a special occasion (excluding your own wedding) we can make it work! If you are interested please let me know I only have about 6 spots available. Please email me a picture of yourself and a time that would work for you!

Hope I get to work with you soon!

Congrats to Laure & Rob

What a fun day February 21st was! Laure was a stuning bride to work with! They were married at the Haile Plantation country club. The photography is by the amazing Jamie Smith Photography. As you will see in the pictures Laure wore a bride cage vail that was totaly meant for her and rocked it out!!

Staci & Gabe

Staci came to me needing her makeup done for their engagement session with the fab Kara & Jeremy Pennington. She wanted to look very natural but flawless.... I think we accomplished it ;0) Congrats you guys and I know Staci will be a beautiful bride at their August 2009 wedding!

Wow I am slow these days!!

So I guess blogging is my one thing I always procrastinate at :0( But today I am going to catch up a little. I also want to update you guys on some big things going on in my life! Most of you know but I will formally announce: Scotty and I are expecting! Baby Meffen is due to arrive October 11 and we are so excited!!! It has been a rocky road to get here with a miscarriage the first time around... but we are only a couple days away from the end of the first trimester and have already had 2 ultrasounds. We are just praying daily for a healthy and happy baby!

On another note wedding session is here and with a wedding or 2 every weekend I am having a blast! A note to brides: I am booking up quickly for the month of April and May so please don't hesitate to contact me to nail down your date with me.

MAC MAC MAC

Okay so I have finally succumb to the MAC Pressure!!! For the longest time I always said that I would not use their products but after lots of research I went and bought MAC products today. What does this mean? Well I guess just more options and more high intensity colors to use. I will still be sticking with MN foundation just because they totally ROCK! I guess you could say I am growing up as a makeup artist and going out of my comfort zone!

Also stay tuned because I will soon be announcing something pretty big that YOU might be able to be apart of!!! Its pretty awesome.

Project Boudoir Photoshoot

Yesterday was my sexy day! Well it was my day to make 6 girls feel ultra sexy for a boudoir shoot! I was able to work with the very talented Monica with IMJ Photography and Lindsey with pure Photography. Girls if you are wanting to spice things up I highly recommend them!!!



We worked to shoot out of a Bed in Breakfast in Gainesville. Each girl was so gorgeous inside and out, 2 of them were models so shots will be posted soon!

Have I mentioned lately I LOVE what I do?? :0)

ZPR Bag Shoot

Last weekend I had the opportunity to work a fun fashion/product shoot in Jacksonville! A North Carolina based company (Green Alley) created these cute handbags called ZPR Bags. These bags can be customized simply with their zipper design, there are 6 different colors so you can mix and match! The three models are Jacksonville locals and did an awesome job even though the weather was SO cold! Kara and Jeremy Pennington were the photographers (they are truly amazing!) there was also a stylist (Jennifer) and several helpers.

Here is Sample . . .
