Homecoming is Around the Corner!

Something I have always been really passionate about is photography and hair and makeup. It hasn't been until recently that I decided to make a profession out of it. Ever since I created my small business I have really enjoyed the compliments I've gotten about "Having the best prices around" or "Being so flexible" and still offering amazing photos. One email I received that stood out to me, was from a mother who has always wanted to have her children professionally photographed but has never done so because she just couldn’t afford other photographers rates. She stumbled upon my site and saw my pricing and we worked together to create a package deal that was in her price range and she was able to have beautiful pictures of her kids, all frames included. It makes my heart soar that I can offer my skill, something so simple as photographs to people, offer them something they can afford and they are memories they will have forever.

Growing up and going to dances, proms, homecomings, etc. it seemed like it was the most important event in the world. I would stress about hair, makeup, nails, outfit, date, shoes, and everything else in between. I was never able to go to a salon and get my hair/makeup/nails done because my family wasn’t able to afford it, and I was so envious that all my friends had these amazing up do’s or beautiful makeup done for the dance. Seems silly to look back on now, but in middle school and high school these little things were crucial. As a photographer, makeup artist, and big sister to all six of my siblings, the topic of homecoming dance came up and I have been really excited to do my sister’s hair, makeup, and pictures. Then a light went off in my head and I put together a homecoming dance package with a really awesome price. Salons alone can charge you up to $100 for a hair service; my homecoming package is only $75 per person for hair, makeup, and photos making my service the most affordable around.

Ever since I put the package together I have had several emails asking for more information and one package booked, which has made me super excited to doll up a bunch of girls on their big homecoming day!
