Rare Bird Brides

Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they ever made a difference in the world. A Veteran doesn’t have that problem.-Ronald Reagan Honor & remember the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom, civil liberties, and the rights we have to express our individual opinions and speak freely. Putting on a uniform is not an obligation but a choice. It’s love. The third picture is of my great uncle who was killed by the Nazis ...in WW2. My grandmother’s brother. His absence was always such a huge void in her life and something she couldn’t talk about very often. I was told that my great grandmother’s hair turned white almost over night after she heard that her son was gone. Families experience life altering grief and it’s hard to fully understand that kind of loss. Sending love and support to the families of the hero’s who have been lost. #memorialday #freedomisntfree #thankyou

pretty in pink to compliment her blush wedding dress! I really love when matchy matchy just works! It felt absolutely wonderful to be back in work mode before things went back on rewind. I was able to get used to my new set up and how working in PPE might effect my speed while pregnant. I’m definitely a bit slower. So...peep me in the 2nd pic not in all black! It feels so unprofessional and I actually hate it, but the truth is, nothing fits me right now! Almost 8 months pre...gnant and in the stage of struggling to look fashionable and cuteThankful to be in the home stretch!

Isn’t she absolutely radiating?!? What a gift to be a part of this day! It was so nice to work again and be creative. With so much upheaval and turmoil this year, It was a relief to know that I haven’t lost the passion I have to help people show off the best version of themselves. While this wasn’t her actual wedding day (more to share later on this styled shoot,) it was important to me to make this bride look and feel amazingWhich reminds me of one of my favorite Van ...Gogh quotes, It is good to love many things, for therin lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done. #bridalhairandmakeup #bridalhair #bridalmakeup #bridalhairsandiego #bridalhairraleigh #bridalhairwilmington #bridalmakeupsandiego #bridalmakeupwilmingtonnc #bridalmakeupraleigh #sandiegobride #sandiegowedding #sandiegomua #sandiegomakeupartist #sandiegohairstylist #raleighbridalmakeupartist #raleighbridalhair #wilmingtonbridalmakeup #makeupartistsandiego #muasandiego #raleighmakeupartist #makeupartistwilmingtonnc #weddinghair #weddingmakeup #weddinghairsandiego #weddingmakeupsandiego #naturalglammakeup #glowup #rarebirdbrides See more

L O V E I S L O V E My heart is bursting with pride and love for all the couples who are now able and choose to live their truth openly. This weekend I attended my cousin Elliott’s virtual wedding in Boston where he married the love of his life Patrick. It was so beautiful and the emotion and love were felt from miles away.

Owning your story is the bravest thing you’ll ever do.-Brene Brown I took a brief hiatus from posting because I just haven’t had the words lately. Like you, this wasn’t the story I had planned for 2020. Ok...so now I’m trying to flex my adaptive capabilities, which are rusty. Change isn’t comfortable but I’m trying to use this opportunity to grow. I think we all are. Growing up the daughter of a Navy pilot, my life changed constantly and I was pretty good at it. Once I put... down roots again, I’ve learned that I’m not great at it! Who knew? I thought that would have remained a life long skill. I hope you all are finding enlightenment and more of your voice during this time. It’s important now more than ever not to lose that.
