"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

 My answer was "I want to be an artist", then it was “I want to be a stay at home mom.” Growing up, I loved doodling in my journal and “making it pretty”. After I was adopted, I was given a safe place to grow, blossom, and explore things that caught my attention. In high school, I was required to take a year of art to graduate. Shortly after starting class, we were told our main project for the school year was to do a self portrait. I loved this challenge because I was able to focus on the intricate details of my face. From there I found a way of inserting a portrait into every project assigned throughout the rest of my high school art class. 

After high school my parents challenged me to pursue higher education even if it was a trade school. After doing a semester of general education, my parents noticed that I love portrait art and makeup. They encouraged me to consider pursuing a career in the makeup industry. If you haven't guessed it yet, that's what I did! I got licensed as an esthetician and got started on my career, I worked for many large makeup companies, then moved to freelance where I fell in love with weddings and now that's what I specialize in!
