Leading Expert in Camera-Ready Makeup Artistry 2026 - West Coast USA LUXlife Professional Excellence Award 2026

I get so busy and lost in the minutae of life that sometimes I completely forget to post about the really good things… the unexpected surprises and blessings, the little sweet moments, the cherished time with friends, the really good jobs with amazing clients, my wonderful coworkers….etc.

This is an example of a really amazing thing. I woke up one morning to this announcement… LUXLIFE Health and Beauty Awards 2026.

Leading Expert in Camera-Ready Makeup, Artistry 2026 - West Coast USA, LUXlife Professional Excellence Award 2026.

Yay!  It's finally out.  I rarely get to do editorial work anymore.  There's just not much here in Portland so I jumped at the opportunity to step back into this pool and finally be able to update my portfolio with new images!  Win win all around. 

This was photographed by Robbie Augspurger.  Produced by Leah R. Brown. Styled by Goetz Offergeld, assist Rose Mackey. Makeup and hair by me and Shelly Willis.  This is the first time I've been privileged enough to work with Shelly.  She primarily works in LA and we tagged teamed on these models as there were 8 of them and each had 3-4 looks.  Sometimes I did makeup, sometimes she did makeup, sometimes I did hair, sometimes she did hair.  Sometimes we did both.  It was a busy day to say the least!!!

Here are some of my favorite images!
