Why Get Your Makeup Done Professionally?

View More: http://katelynjames.pass.us/morgan-and-lauren

I should start this post off by explaining that before I got married, I had probably worn makeup a totally of three times… and all three times were when I was about 5 at dance recitals.  So when I’m talking to you about getting your make-up done, I am not coming from a place of experience or trying to force you into anything.  In reality I’m just coming from a place of being your photographer.  Professional makeup looks beautiful in your photographs!  Professionals know how to make sure you don’t look washed out in your photographs.  They also know how to help make your eyes pop!  Getting your make-up done professionally doesn’t mean that you have to look plastic or not like yourself.

I remember after my makeup was finished, I asked my sisters if Morgan they thought it was too much.  I asked mainly because, as I said before, I wasn’t used to a lick of makeup being on my face.  Looking back on the photos now, I’m so glad that I had Mandy do it, because she did such a good job of making it look natural and last.

  1. This is SO true!! I feel like I have to talk about this frequently because some brides cannot justify the $150 for makeup … but it IS worth it! :)

Wife, mama, wielder of light & joy, and capturer of moments.  I thrive off of conversation and genuine connection.  In between wrangling our kiddos, and hanging my husband, you'll find me dreaming up my next idea or creative endeavour.  It's these things that culminate to give my imagery a warmth and joy to them - the greatest compliment I could receive.

THE JOURNAL

Lauren grew up spending her summers at the shore, and when she and Nick got together, she couldn't help but introduce him, too!  Their session in New Jersey was filled with gorgeous light, sweet smiles, and so much love & laughter.

Jersey Shore Engagement 

Connor and Alli's wedding celebration was full of lush florals, gorgeous details, and a whole lot of joy.  Their first look was one of the most sacred moments I've witness on a wedding day... filled with so much delight and love!

One of my greatest inspirations comes from exploring and the California coast fulfills that wanderlust like nothing else.  Anytime I have rolling hills and oceanside views, I'm in heaven.

She's the ultimate hypewoman. I was pretty nervous about being photographed and Lauren made everything fun and flexible. Honestly, I can't imagine the day without her and her team. They were wonderful and hearing from Lauren was always a genuine delight.
