Natural

If you are the Girl-Next-Door or you like to keep things fresh and simple, natural is the way to go. If you typically don’t wear makeup and want to look like yourself for your session, we don’t want to skip the make up entirely. Instead keep it toned down and play up your best features to make them pop on camera. Neutral tones on the eyes and a natural lip color are key for this look.

If you like to keep things classic, this is perfect for you. Traditional colors on the eyes, basic eyeliner, and a red lip is always in style. This is a timeless, beautiful look and won’t have you shaking your head at the “trendy” makeup in your portraits.

Dramatic & Sultry

Hello inner Vixen! Are you wanting that HELLLOOOOO factor? This is your jam then. Think dark smoky eye makeup, amped up, smudged out eyeliner, and the perfect pout. Think light pinks and maybe some gloss to accentuate the lips without taking the full attention away from those gorgeous eyes of yours. And say yes to the lashes! Our makeup artist will help you pick the perfect ones to complete your sultry look.
