Does anyone else not mind the time change?? I heard a bunch of people complaining about it this morning on the radio, but I kinda look forward to all of a sudden having daylight later in the day. Is it just me?! . . Makeup @laceypurnellmakeupartistry Hair @raineartistryco ... Florals @woodland_designstudio Venue @tin_poppy See more

One of the beautiful models from the @firstcomeslovebridal shoot I worked on a couple of weeks ago. I really focused on keeping all of the models' looks soft, natural and radiant as to not have any aspect of the makeup draw attention away from the collection of robes and loungewear being showcased .. Key products used on model @jena_grakul 's complexion were @embryolisseca Lait Creme Concentrate, @maccosmeticscanada Strobe Cream and Pro Longwear Nourishing Foundation, and @hourglasscosmetics Ambient Lighting powders and bronzer.

Gosh how gorgeous are they?! I had a blast working with these beauties this past weekend on the shoot for @firstcomeslovebridal new launch. So many pretty pieces that will be perfect for brides and bridal parties to wear while getting ready on the big day I'd highly recommend checking them out. . .

I was excited to finally get to meet and work on @_emily.phillips_ today...let me tell you, this girl is a master at her craft! I've never watched a professional model being photographed before and it was amazing to see someone so talented and natural in front of the camera Swipe for before.............................

As 2020 winds down, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone that I connected with this year. Making connections was tougher is 2020. With restrictions and limitations, I'm sure many found it hard to connect with friends and family the way we have in the past. I'm so grateful for everyone I've met and connected with and also for the friends and family that, despite this craziness, I feel closer to than ever before. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who supp...orted my little business this year! I can't wait to meet and work with all of my 2021 brides . .

Can there BE a photoshoot more exciting than one that combines Christmas AND a baby on the way announcement!!?? Huge congrats to my client and her family This year I'm extra excited about Christmas...I haven't been doing as much of the traditional things I usually do, but I've been switching things up and focusing on staying present and grateful for all of the little moments.... .

I am just feeling beyond pumped that it's snowing today!! The things I planned to do - drop off a box of goodies I've collected for the Emerald House Women's Shelter, and then go out to do some Christmas shopping - are just feeling so festive now!! That being said, I just read that the Emerald House Men's Shelter is in need of some items too...I will post the details in my story. If you're able to help out, please do Makeup @laceypurnellmakeupartistry Hair @raineartistryco Photography @white_olive_photo

I'm feeling pretty darn thrilled that it's December!! The Purnell house was abuzz this morning (well actually, it started at 4am ) as the kids were SO excited about the reappearance of Starla, our Elf. Well she came, and graciously accepted the mini mask and glitter sanitizer that my daughter made for her ................................... .............................................................. I am also super pumped to be a sponsor for Day One of @nataliedollmanph...otography 12 Days of GiveBACK...head on over and check out her page for details on how you can nominate a deserving family or individual for a mini photoshoot with Natalie and makeup by me!.................. ..............................................................

I love repeat clients I pride myself in remembering their needs and preferences, and love the comfort and enjoyment of chatting with them while I work. We glitzed up this mama's soft natural look with some gold glitter, which was perfect to add a little festive glam for her holiday photoshoot. I used to use the Stila liquid glitter shadows in my kit, and although they're gorgeous, I found they dried up so quickly. If you haven't already tried the @elfcosmetics liquid glitter shadows, you MUST!! They are super similar to the Stila, and at $5, I don't feel as sad when they dry up. These are definitely not a "judge them by the price" type product, they're amazing and the quality is there.
