Hair Accessories for Brides


Where can I find great hair accessories?

I constantly have brides asking me this question!  There are a few great places but look no further...I now offer custom hair accessories like hand cut and assembled silk flowers to feathers and rhinestone hairpins to simple birdcage veils.  Every piece is made just for the hairstyle and the brides taste and can include vintage items like broaches and buttons.  I can accommodate larger orders for the entire bridal party. 
I am planning a line of handmade items that is ready to purchase online and ship immediately for those last minute needs...I'll update that information soon.

Winter Wedding Photos with *gasp* Snow!

This past December, I had the honor to do Hair and Airbrush Makeup for Katie...a friend of a very good friend.  The winter wedding was at Chief Hosa, which is a really cute and rustic lodge.  The day started out to be a normal Colorado December day but just around ceremony time, the snow started to fall and it was oh-so-pretty!  Thanks to Mitch Bowers (http://www.bowersphotographics.com/) for some great getting ready photos.  Congratulations Katie!

Let's clear the air about airbrush makeup

Recently, I read a blog, on one of those huge wedding sites, about traditional makeup vs. airbrush makeup for a bride. I was surprised to read that the author was not biased and made some great points for both applications. I continued to read the comments and the registered brides were thankful for the help while some "anonymous" comments went on to bash airbrush makeup (I'm guessing they don't use airbrush on their clients). The main thing they were saying was that back in the day, Audrey Hepburn and Vintage Vogue didn't use airbrush makeup. Here's what they aren't thinking...Audrey wasn't photographed with a Hi-Def camera!

I feel that makeup techniques (and hairstyling) need to keep up with technology (especially those of us artist who work in the wedding and film industry). When a bride asks what is airbrush makeup and why do I need it, I'll tell them honestly. It is up to them to decide if it is right for them and so far...100% are believers! Although it was a huge investment, to buy the airbrush and learn to use it, I find that I get better results and happier clients (and photographers). Here are some benefits to airbrush makeup:

Why Airbrush? 
Safe and Sanitary
Dermatologist Recommended
Light to Full Coverage
