This, in combination with her love for entrepreneurship, led to her developing her own line of cosmetics and skincare in 2011. Her makeup line is now sold in 15+ locations nation wide.
She still meets with clients daily for makeup lessons, head shot makeup, bridal/engagement sessions, and weddings every weekend. Her specialty is natural beauty. A polished version of yourself, yet picture perfect!
