Ive known Tessa for three years now and she has grown into such a beautiful, kind, inspiring, courageous young Anishinaabekwe. She has the most contagious, genuine smile and is such a hard worker!
.
I met Tessa through the Indigenous post secondary club program I run and there would be times where she would show up alone, or stay after programming to have chats with me, she would text or call to check in and always had the courage to ask questions and advocate for herself - never being afraid of what people thought about her.
.
Tessa, my girl, I am so proud of you and I know you are going to do wonderful things after graduation. You are so smart and so driven - don’t ever let anyone dim your light. You are so special ❤️

ladies & gentlemen, please do not ever apologize for your skin breakouts, wrinkles, aging, dark circles, pigmentation etc. You have absolutely nothing to apologize for! It’s silly! Skin changes, you age, your hormones and stress levels affect how your skin is feeling, masks definitely affect our skin - it’s normal because you are an ever changing human being!
.
I will do everything in my power to address your concerns and make you feel your best for your wedding, birthday celebration, head shot photos, date night, whatever! But... what I ask in return is that you give yourself a little grace and say it with me, you are fucking beautiful just the way you are.
.
Thank-you to my stunning bride Kristen for allowing me to be part of her special day and for trusting me! Can’t wait to share a few photos from her wedding!

It’s become a yearly tradition to do makeup for Madelaine’s family photos 🌺

Every year she gets more beautiful, her son gets even cuter and she always sends sneak peaks once she’s received her photos!

As June approaches, I am getting more and more anxious about finding out whether or not we can go back to work. *sigh*... only 11 more days to go until we hear about the new restrictions...

Until then, I’ll reminisce about what it’s like to have a normal summer full of beautiful brides! ✨

Two days down, 20 more to go 🤞🏽

Fingers crossed that these restrictions won’t get extended into June! It was so hectic and disheartening having to message all my clients to deliver the bad news and reschedule. May is usually the month where business really, really picks up, so this was super sucky but I get it and am more than willing to do my part.

My boyfriend and I are off to get our vaccine this afternoon and I am so excited. I feel like I am going to get emotional because it’s one step closer in ending all of this and doing my part to ensure I take care of my family, my friends and my community.

Thanks to all my clients for your continued support and understanding. Your random messages of kindness mean more than you know. I can’t wait until I can get back to doing what I love, with you!

Stay safe out there 💜

💕PINK is definitely my favourite bold colour to use when it comes to makeup. Pink eyes, pink cheeks, pink lips - it’s just so pretty! How many of you would rock an eye like this? Even just once?? 😏

I had so much fun doing makeup for Issett and her mama, Cindy! The look on Issett’s face was priceless - she said she didn’t want to wash it off 😂❤️
