For over 40 years, Sam McKnight has defined global standards in session styling for editorial work, with a name synonymous with publications like Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. In 2015, I had the privilege of joining his International Master: Hair Program, which opened doors to incredible collaborations at Los Angeles Fashion Week and Malta Fashion Week in spring 2016.

Today, I specialize in on-site hair and makeup services across fashion, branding, commercials/film, and bridal, often traveling to meet my clients’ needs. Recently, I worked on a commercial shoot with Ryan Fitzpatrick for Audible, released on Amazon Prime.

Staying on the cutting edge of trends, products, and techniques is key to my success. In fall 2024, I attended the Wedding MBA conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, collaborating with top industry platform artists and gaining insights to continually elevate my craft.

 Bold, sensitive, big heart

Raised in Chicago, I moved west over a decade ago with a mission to grow as an artist and a person—and I’m grateful every day for this vibrant journey! As a hair and makeup artist specializing in bridal, television, and editorial work, I blend my passion for beauty with a love for connection, bringing out each client’s unique radiance.

I’m endlessly inspired by the international fashion and editorial world. With a strong cup of coffee in hand, I can spend hours exploring the latest art trends, seeking creative inspiration. Whether immersed in city life or recharging in my serene Arizona haven, I follow my insatiable curiosity to connect with artists worldwide, collaborate on exciting projects, and build dynamic teams that make magic together.

I believe in the power of soft beauty and bold integrity, finding joy in helping women express their inner strength and beauty. My work is all about wholehearted connection and authenticity, which brings out the best in every person I meet.

To know me is to love me.
