HAIR & MAKEUP ARTIST, DIRECTOR

• What has been your favorite experience working with TEAM?
I started TEAM Inc. while in college as a way to pay for my education. I thought for sure I was law school bound, instead I fell in love with bridal styling and 20+ years later, I can still say, I have my dream job. My most memorable experiences are rooted in the sense of gratitude we receive from our brides. There’s no better feeling than the feeling of being appreciated.

• What do you love about doing weddings?
Each wedding is different, seeing how happy brides are to be marrying the person of their dreams comes with a sense of positivity, hope, and grace I can’t even begin to explain.

• What is your favorite product?
I feel like it changes every month! Currently my go to product is Armani Beauty and Charlotte Tilbury foundations. As a makeup artist my goal is to make skin look as natural as possible regardless of the coverage needed. For hair, well that’s a trade secret.

• What’s your hidden talent?
The ability to listen to my intuition. Learning to listen to my instinct has taken a lifetime and it’s guided me every step of the way.

I love how each wedding is different. Different locations, people, and vendors. There’s never a dull moment seeing our brides happy and excited is a bonus.

• What is your favorite product?
For hair, I love a good Dry Texture Spray! Adding texture to the hair allows for the volume and beauty of each style to be long lasting while looking effortless. For makeup, the skin is the most important for me. Using cream blushes and cream bronzers are my favorite. I love how they look and feel on the skin.

• What’s your hidden talent?
I’m kind of a big deal at my jazzercise class. Ha!

Being able to travel is always the best experience! Traveling with TEAM to places such as Hawaii, Montana and New York is definitely one for the books.

I love just getting all the girls and boys ready for their special day and making it as easy and comforting as possible. Just to see them sooo happy and excited is definitely the biggest reward.

My favorite product is cream contour by Bobbi Brown. It just melts into the skin and creates dimension to the face. Also you cant have contour without highlighting! I love the ones by Makeup forever. For hair, Kenra sprays are a go to for our brides getting married near the ocean. It’s the best anti-humidifying sprays out there!

My hidden talent is definitely applying eyeliner in countless styles and to all eye shapes and sizes. I can do it with my eyes closed! Making the eyes pop and giving an enhanced look for all things natural and glam is always my goal.

All the weddings we do are beautiful. The amount of detail in each bride’s look and day-of timeline really shows.

• What has been your favorite experience working with TEAM?
My favorite experience is always when we’re working at locations in the Santa Ynez valley. It’s so stunning out there. All the weddings seem to have a natural element to them.

A wedding can be composed of so many emotions. While laughter, and maybe happy tears are shared, I’m busy making sure whoever’s hair I’m styling feels comfortable and leaves my chair feeling like a million bucks inside and out.

My favorite product is a texture spray. I use two different types of texture products the most. Redkin wax blast which provides moisture to tame flyaways but also sets up beautiful definition in the hair.

• What’s your hidden talent?
