I had the pleasure of working with this gorgeous bride for her summer wedding in Sonoma. There was very little I needed to do to transform Miranda from her beautiful everyday self into a blushing bride. Together we created a look that felt very natural, the focus on her glowing skin and fresh pink cheek. Her hair has beautiful natural curl which we enhanced and pinned up just slightly to frame her face. The end result was absolutely stunning and flowed very naturally with the rest of the event.
The beautiful photos are the work of Jill Doherty Photography. Jill did a great job capturing the Miranda and Nick, their quiet excitement and overflowing love for each other.
Congratulations Miranda & Nick!

This bride was so fun! She had an idea of what she wanted from the moment we started together and I just love the way her look evolved.
I called her my purple girl! She loved purple eye shadow and knew right away that’s the look she wanted to rock on her big day. We found the purple-est purple I had and created the rest of her look around it! A fresh finish in her foundation and sweet pink on her cheeks balanced out the eyes perfectly. Lashes popped and lips that that mimicked her cheeks, this gorgeous bride was ready to get hitched!
Beautiful hair for this wedding was done by Lauren Kelsay.
Super fun and extremely talented photographer, Lyndsay Undseth, took the amazing photos of the couple.
Congratulations Katie & Deucie!

Inspired by the Wine Blogger’s Conference going on this weekend I’m offering a new treatment! Wine bloggers and writers and industry leaders from around the world will grace us with their presence this weekend to drink wine, talk about wine, drink wine, and drink some more wine. In the event that any of you winos are looking to experience some of what else our fantastic little area has to offer, might I suggest a Pumpkin Wine Enzyme Facial with yours truly! It has the word ‘wine’ in it so you can still count it in as a write off, plus you’ll leave Sonoma County glowing brighter than you did when you arrived!
I don’t know much about wine, except of course how to drink it… but I know plenty about skin. And a Pumpkin Wine Enzyme Facial is the perfect way to finish off your trip to Sonoma County’s Wine Country. A great anti-aging treatment for skin of all types, the Pumpkin Wine treatment provides antioxidant, nutritive, and exfoliating properties for your skin. A fruit-acid enzyme which is applied like a masque, accelerates exfoliation, provides powerful antioxidants to your skin, and substitutes as a mild form of retinoic acid, it is a great option for those who are in need of some hearty exfoliation without using a chemical peel. Your skin will feel rejuvenated and vibrant. And you can go back to drinking wine as soon as we’re done :-)
