Sultry Sonoma Couture Bridal Session

I’m so excited that Kimberly’s May wedding is almost here!  She booked me 15 months ago, so it’s almost surreal that the big day is right around the corner.  Since I also offer bridal make up services to my clients through Spa Voutique, we decided to schedule a trial run.  The fabulous Holly with “I Do! Bridal”  will be doing Kim’s hair on the wedding day, so we scheduled her trial run for hair the same day.  It only seemed fitting to get a few shots of her looking fabulous!   Thanks Kim for a fun day!

Brenna’s Bridals

You probably remember Brenna from her engagement session in the Napa Valley earlier this year.  Brenna is beautiful inside and out……….not to mention a pure joy to work with!   We got together yesterday at her family home for a quick session just because, and had a blast.  I applied her make up to accentuate her gorgeous eyes!  Just stunning!!!!  Thanks Brenna for letting me share, and I will see you Saturday at the wedding!

Enlighten contains a combination of two exceptional topical agents that address the appearance of facial discoloration. Plus, we have included Retinol, a superior retinoid that discourages the production of excess melanin and assists in resolving the appearance of existing facial discoloration. Retinol is also a potent anti-aging tool that provides a more refined, resurfaced and illuminated facial texture.
Enlighten combines exceptional brightening technology with de-aging agents that result in the refined, rejuvenating and illuminated skin we all want.

Beautiful Skin = Beautiful Images

I’ve been a licensed esthetician for 10 years now. I love working with clients one on one and helping them to look and feel their best.
For as long as I can remember, skin and photography have been my passions. I used to dress up my little brothers, (poor things), apply make up to them, and then of course………photograph them!
I remember distinctly when my youngest brother protested the blue eyeshadow I was about to apply. So I drew tattoos on both of them, spiked their hair, painted on some thick eyebrows, and made them look like little tough guys.
I’ll have to get their permission to post the resulting image………but it’s a classic!
Needless to say, I love being able to offer my clients the benefit of pre-wedding skin care services, professional skin care product, bridal make up, and amazing photography!
It’s been so wonderful that my clients are receptive to the idea, and trust me to be such an important part of their wedding day!
I’ve decided to step things up this year, and offer a Bridal Skin Care Package that includes: 3 Diamond Dermabrasion treatments, 3 Chemical Peels/Exfoliating Enzyme treatments, and an Expert Eyebrow Design to top it off. This package is valued at $550.00
The package will be offered complimentary for a limited time to all wedding photography clients who purchase the Bridal Make Up Service!(Bridal Make Up is offered exclusively to photography clients)
The Spa is located in Cordelia about 15 minutes from the Napa Valley, 45 minutes from San Francisco, and 20 minutes from Walnut Creek.
