Clean and classic 🖤 ⁣ I avoided styles like this for the longest time — not because I didn’t like them, but because they can be so unforgiving. They show every flaw, and require mindfulness; placing each pin with intention. I found them difficult to achieve without looking too stiff, still wanting to stay true to my organic aesthetic. ⁣ But then it clicked. I figured out how to let the products do the work, and now I can’t get enough. ⁣ Photography/Creative Direction @eastmadeco Fashion Shoot for @baltimoreweds 2021 Issue Florals @victoriaclausenflorals Hair/Makeup @caitlynmeyermua Gowns @francescasbridal Jewelry @jbrownjewelers Calligraphy @curvedandco Vintage Car from Andrew P.

No heat, no hairspray style 🐝 . . . Sea Spray and Dry Wax by @aghair are two of my favorite products to style with, and often all I need. . Sea Spray adds texture and grit, while providing a light hold, where Dry Wax tames frizz and allows for controlled definition. . . . #cmeytutorials #thefoundationsofstyling #hairvideos #hairtutorials #hairtutorialvideo #noheathairstyles #noheatchallenge #noheatstyling #beyondtheponytail #behindthechair #maneaddicts #bridalhairstyle #bridalhairinspo #weddinghairinspo #crueltyfreehair #crueltyfreestylist https://www.instagram.com/p/B-M-Py1DVTM/?igshid=6bhy4kxxhtvc

I love a loose, romantic style, but there’s just something so satisfying about a smooth, classic bun. I would also like to take this opportunity to express my displeasure with the fact that there’s no cinnamon bun emoji. I feel like there was at some point. #bridalhairstylist #bridalhairinspo #bridalhairinspiration #bridalhairideas #bridalbun #classicbun #texturedhairstyle #blackbridalhair #blackbrides #blackbridemagic #beyondtheponytail #thefoundationsofstyling #baltimorebridalhair #baltimorehairstylist https://www.instagram.com/p/CKj_FpMLsNX/?igshid=a72m7xwgfr57

Fine art fauxhawk 🕊 I redefined @magitareke beautiful natural curls using @paishau Something to BeLeave-In conditioning cream and a no-heat coiling method inspired by a technique I picked up during a virtual class with @angelacstyles 💕 For additional volume on top, I placed a few @trueandpuretexture #jasminecoil wefts by @pekelariley 💕 ⁣ Color, complexion, and glow from @danessa_myricks 💕 #thefoundationsofstyling #bridalhairandmakeupartist #bridalhairideas #bridalhairinspo #bridalhairinspiration #naturalcurlyhair #curlyhairbride #curlyhairupdo #curlyhairlove #naturalcurlyhairstyles #beyondtheponytail #behindthechair #weddinghairideas #weddinghairinspo (at The Tannery Barn Taneytown, MD) https://www.instagram.com/p/CId-nXXD3ZJ/?igshid=nokoohu7e1d9

Wow, friends, what a week it’s been. ⁣ Both personally and politically, this week has been such a rollercoaster ride of emotions, I’ve been quiet about my own news, and had my mind so focused on election news, I haven’t felt much like posting. ⁣ Now that we can all finally let out a sigh of relief, here’s a little update on me: ⁣ Last week, I had to have emergency surgery to repair two tendons in my right hand. This news was devastating for a myriad of reasons, but the most upsetting part about it was breaking the news to my remaining brides. In the over decade that I’ve been doing weddings, I’ve never had to cancel, so having to find solutions for a handful of brides, especially after all the disappointments they’ve faced this year already, felt particularly awful. Thankfully, I had the support of my amazing friends and colleagues, who were all willing to step in and help wherever they could. Thank you so much @hairbypam__ @kiate__ @staciesnyderbeauty @whiskeyandadream for your friendship and support, and for taking such good care of my beloved brides. ⁣ I also want to say thank you to my amazing fiancé @alexjdoucette for being there for me every step of the way. Thank you for spending 36+ hours in the emergency room with me, for making sure I had everything I needed, and that I left the hospital looking fresh AF. Thank you for taking such good care of me, and for waking up every three hours throughout the night to make sure I took my meds. Thank you for doing my hair for me, and painting my nails so I’d feel a little less like a mess. Thank you for putting up with (and often matching) my stubbornness, and forcing me to accept help, even when I was convinced I didn’t need it. Thank you for being beautiful, thoughtful, wonderful you ♥️ ⁣ Since I won’t be creating anything new until the new year, we’ll be flashing back on some of my past work over the next two months — starting with this undone boho style I created for my beautiful bride, Bailey, last month 🕊 ⁣ #thefoundationsofstyling #bohoupdo #bohobride #undoneupdo #looseupdo #bridalhairstyles #bridalhairinspo #bridalhairinspiration #bridalhairideas #beyondtheponytail #bridalhairandmakeup #bridalhairartist (at The Seclusion) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHTSZZSDp13/?igshid=1e2oql5bjcofu

For all my dark haired babes out there 🖤 Who said texture only looks good on light hair??? I created this simple, sexy style using my new fave 1.25” @ghdhair curling iron, and @aghair dry wax, sea spray, and tousled texture spray #darkhairupdo #brunetteupdo #darkhairstyles #darkhairdontcare #beyondtheponytail #behindthechair #maneaddicts #bridalhairedu #bridalhairstylist #texturedupdo #texturedupdos #looseupdo #looseupstyle #undonehair #undoneupdo #undoingtheupdo #thefoundationsofstyling https://www.instagram.com/p/CGf5iHxDh6a/?igshid=am61ebpfubj1

Finally getting back to recording more content this week, and I’d love to hear from you — ⁣ What tutorials would you like to see? Hair? Makeup? Skincare? ⁣ Would you like to see me working with models/clients/mannequin, or more of me doing hair and makeup on myself? ⁣ Would you be interested in a monthly Instagram LIVE education? If so, what would you like me to focus on? ⁣ Thanks in advance for your input 🖤 #bridalhairandmakeupartist #bridalhaireducation #bridalhaireducator #bridalmakeupeducation #bridalmakeupeducator #thefoundationsofstyling #thefutureofbridalmakeup #cmeyeducation #cmeytutorials #hairtutorialvideo #hairtutorialvideos #bridalhairvine #bridalhairtutorial https://www.instagram.com/p/CGS7doMj4xP/?igshid=ivkgvadme3ym

Step into my office ✨ . . . For the last handful of months, it’s just been me and Peggy in this space. About a month in, I even decided to give her the glow up because I just couldn’t take her terrifying blank expression any longer. No offense to Peggy, but it’s been really nice working with people who blink again. . . . #bridalhairandmakeupartist #bridalhairandmakeupspecialist #bridalhaireducation #bridalhaireducator #cmeyeducation #thefoundationsofstyling #thefutureofbridalmakeup #baltimorebridalhair #baltimorebridalmakeup https://www.instagram.com/p/CDCKXnlDkgi/?igshid=1wmfr5665i3ph
