My background in makeup:

I have been in the salon and spa industry for over 10 years now. Learning more about makeup since 2006 and more specifically trained with the Jane Iredale mineral makeup line the following year and still continue to use the line.

whats new. I use mainly mineral makeup but use a favorite find from other top name brands. I am a freelance artist who loves to make it the best experience for you, therefore I will come to you for any of your makeup needs! Please email for rates and any other questions at [email protected]

Small Business Saturday hits different when you’ve been doing this for over a decade ✨

To every client who has trusted us with their wedding day, maternity, branding, bo***ir —thank you doesn’t even begin to cover it.

For more than 10 years, you’ve allowed us to be part of your biggest moments. You’ve sat in our chairs, shared your love stories, laughed with us, cried happy tears, and trusted us to make you feel absolutely beautiful.

When you choose for your hair and us for your makeup, you’re not just booking a service. You’re supporting two small business owners, our families, and our dream of doing what we love every single day.

We’ve built our businesses one bride at a time, one referral at a time, one kind review at a time. And we’re still here because of YOU.

Thank you for over a decade of letting us be part of your celebrations. We can’t wait for all the beautiful moments still to come. ✨

With so much gratitude,
-Sarah&Cal

Thanksgiving has me feeling SO grateful for my natural glam niche ✨

Here’s the thing: all makeup is beautiful. Full glam, barely-there glow, bold lip—whatever makes you feel amazing. But my sweet spot? Enhancing what you’ve already got so you still look like YOU.

To every bride who’s trusted me with their face and their nerves—thank you. This is more than makeup. It’s about feeling comfortable, confident, and gorgeous in your own skin.

Because at the end of the day, makeup is whatever feels most beautiful to YOU. And that’s exactly what we’re going to create together. 🤍

✨ Why bringing your own glam team to your destination wedding changes everything ✨

After years of traveling internationally for weddings, I can tell you that having YOUR team on-site from rehearsal dinner to post-ceremony touchups isn’t just about the makeup—it’s about having someone in your corner who knows exactly what you want and how to execute your vision flawlessly, no matter where in the world we are.

When you bring me along, you’re getting more than natural glam expertise. You’re getting light coordination help, an extra set of hands when things get hectic, and someone who’s been in this industry long enough to anticipate what you’ll need before you even ask.

I’m your ultimate girls’ girl, your hype woman, and yes—I’m grabbing ALL the behind-the-scenes content for you. Because these moments? They deserve to be captured.

Here’s the thing: bringing your own team means you’re getting exactly what you’re aiming for. No surprises, no settling, no wondering if the local vendor will understand your aesthetic. Just the natural, glowing look you’ve always envisioned, executed by someone who gets YOU.

And the best part? We work hard to make destination pricing fair—often comparable to what you’d pay for on-site vendors anyway.

This stunning destination wedding in the Dominican Republic featuring our gorgeous bride Brianna was such an absolute pleasure to be part of. Swipe to see why traveling for love (and natural glam) is always worth it 💕

A moment for the moms 💕

These milestone days can feel so overwhelming—helping with all the planning, finding a dress that makes you feel like *you* (not dated, not too much, just right), and then there’s glam… which honestly, can feel a little scary when you’re not used to being in the makeup chair.

Whether you’re mom, stepmom, grandmother, or that special someone who’s been there for our bride through it all—we’re always happy to accommodate a trial if that would make you feel more comfortable.

Sometimes it’s as simple as a few individual lashes to enhance what’s already beautiful—nothing that doesn’t feel like you.

As moms ourselves, we can only imagine the emotions of these days. Watching your person reach this moment while you’re trying to hold it together, look put-together, and somehow not cry off all your makeup 😅

We see you. We appreciate the beauty in every age, every stage, every mom and mother figure who walks through our door. You deserve to feel just as special as everyone else that day ✨

Being in business with your best friend really is the best 🫶🏻

and I have been doing this thing together for a while now, and it’s taken us everywhere from Charleston to the Caribbean to freaking IRELAND 🇮🇪

… *MAJOR* emphasizes on how we like to travel 😉
•
We’re all about natural makeup and timeless hair - the kind of looks you’ll love for a lifetime. And somehow we’ve mastered the art of taking over a wedding morning without anyone stressing out. Last minute changes? We thrive on them. When our timing lines up and we’re both working on you at once? Okayyyy Kim K moment 💁🏼‍♀️ MOG with a little ‘tude? We got you.

She’s got an addiction for perfume and an original Swiftie, the ultimate girls girl. She’s the most incredible mother and the sass and silliness we all need. She enjoys the action of receiving a coffee but don’t let it fool you, she’ll barely sip it. She also won’t even cut her hair above her shoulders in fear she will resemble Lord Farquaad… little does she know she would look beautiful in any hairstyle.

2026 is filling up fast, and I genuinely can’t imagine doing this with anyone else ♥️

Can we just talk about how PERFECT soft glam is for wedding day?? 😍 Like YES, give me that dreamy natural glow that photographs beautifully AND survives happy tears, ceremony hugs, and dancing until 2am!

There’s literally nothing better than watching a bride see herself for the first time and just melt. My job is to make you look like the most radiant version of yourself - not someone else entirely. I want your partner to look at you walking down that aisle and think “that’s MY person” ✨

Sign me up for a day with your crew, I’m here to make sure everyone feels like absolute royalty. Because your wedding photos are forever, but more importantly - you should feel incredible in your own skin on the biggest day ever ✨

The summer we had sooo much fun with Jenna & Ryan 💕

Three sessions. One summer. Infinite happiness. ✨ When your client’s glow-up includes finding her forever person AND gaining a whole new family dynamic – that’s the kind of transformation we live for 💍

2025 has had quite the high’s including a recent visit to see over *50* acres of my favorite flower 🌸

Between bridal touch-ups and “I do” moments, I’ve been pouring my energy into filling up the 2026 calendar (and wow, you all are making my dreams come true!). When I’m not behind the makeup chair, you’ll find me scribbling away at what’s becoming a collection of wedding day horror stories from fellow vendors – because if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry, right? 😅

This month has also brought some amazing commercial opportunities and branding projects that are stretching my creativity in the best ways. And speaking of stretching… there’s something BIG brewing for 2026 that I can barely contain my excitement about. Let’s just say it involves a retreat and leave it at that for now ✈️

But honestly, none of this would be possible without my ride-or-die best friend who keeps me grounded when wedding season gets chaotic, our incredible assistants who make magic happen behind the scenes, and this unreal community of creatives who somehow remember to speak our names when opportunity knocks.

The way this industry lifts each other up never stops amazing me. Thank you for being the reason I get to wake up every day and make brides feel like the most beautiful version of themselves 💕

What’s keeping you busy this season? Drop a comment – I love hearing what you’re all working on!
