Happy Independence Day!

I hope everyone has a lovely 4th celebrating the birthday of our wonderful country. Although things are very much changing in our world, we live in the greatest country in the world. My favorite "4th of July" song is Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A."  I seriously tear up every time. Here's the YouTube link.  I want to say a very sincere thank you to every person and their family that serves our military.  Without you we could not live with the freedoms we are afforded.  God Bless You!

I just wanted to share a quick blog and try to start blogging a bit more. I'm reading a challenge about making a connection with your clients and audience through your blog. We used to be able to chat face to face but the world has changed and connecting is mostly online now. So in a great effort to connect more with you ... I blog!

Recently High School kiddos will be headed back to school probably end of August. (That is seriously right around the corner.) And for many they are entering their senior year. So photographers everywhere have started their "senior sessions". 

Now I love bridal work. Really. Love it. But I really enjoy doing makeup for a teen. They're so excited to have their makeup done. Most of the time I'm the first makeup artist to ever put makeup on them. (I know weird). But that's exciting! How many other times will they have such a glamorous experience? The next will probably be their wedding day. 

So I partner with a local photographer (www.portaitsbycarmen.com) to do a few sessions a year. We had our first session Wednesday. She posted a few on social media: 

So I for real die over these! I mean gorgeous!! Not only are these young ladies completely beautiful,  look at that photography work. That is not your mom on the corner with a camera stuff. Carmen's work is very inspiring. I find myself wanting makeup to be extra perfect if I know she'll be editing a picture! Lol

Enjoy your holiday & be safe. 

Xoxo,
