New Year’s Eve Styled Shoot

Where do I even begin?!?! I think these pictures really speak for themselves, and I’m sure you can see why I’m so speechless, but I’ll give you a background story anyway. 🙂

On Tuesday, Christina of Bella Giornata Events contacted me in kind of an emergency situation. She needed a makeup artist and one more model for her shoot on that Thursday. There were going to be 6 photographers shooting, my friend and office-mate Jamie Butcher of Blushing Blooms Event Florist, and other amazing vendors at the coolest location- the Emerson Bromo-Seltzer Tower. It is a beautiful clock tower in Baltimore, built in 1911, and pictured below. Kind of like Big Ben on a smaller scale!

Christina told me that I would be both modeling and doing makeup on the other model in the shoot, Kellyn. That’s a huge win-win! We both were going to be wearing dresses from Ava Laurenne Bride, which as you may have noticed by now, I love doing. It’s so fun!

I got in touch with Kellyn and we met early Thursday morning for makeup then got in my car for our long drive to Baltimore. Walking toward the tower was SO exciting knowing we were going to the very top. Although, what I did not know was that I was going to stand up in one of the faces of the clock- even better! I could tell as soon as we climbed up into the four walls of the clock that this was a brilliant spot for a styled shoot and would make for incredible pictures.

It was such a fun experience having 6 photographers shooting all at once. One of them I’ve known for a long time- Michelle Harris- while the rest were knew faces who were a pleasure to meet and connect with. To be honest, I feel like I now know how celebrities feel with all those cameras on them! It was then a proud moment watching my new friend Kellyn killing it up there once it was her turn, and I was popping my head around the corner and taking behind the scenes sneaky pics on my phone (I couldn’t resist).

I have to give a huge virtual round of applause the the impressive vendors- I mean JUST LOOK at those photos! I love seeing how creativity from different business owners come together to make something amazing. This was definitely unforgettable! I hope you love it as much as we do! (These are the photos I have received from a few of the photographers. I hope to add more to this post as they come in!)

Soooo many new faces! Thought I’d reintroduce my Soooo many new faces! Thought I’d reintroduce myself with a #fridayintroductions 

Hi! I’m Kaelie👋🏻 my friends call me Kael😊

-I’ve been a makeup artist and business owner since 2016

-I started my business while still in high school, which bright challenges but also unique opportunities!

-I specialize in weddings but I do makeup for any event!

-I’ve always lived right here in the Fredericksburg area. In fact, I was born at Mary Washington Hospital

-In August 2020, I got my esthetician’s license which was a highlight in a dark year

Thank you for following along!
Happy New Year! I’ve been absent on here cause I Happy New Year! I’ve been absent on here cause I’ve been spending a lot of time with my family over the holidays, but I want to wish you all a happy 2021.

Here are some things that happened in 2020 that I’m thankful for

-I started esthetician school, something I had wanted to do for quite a while.
-When Covid hit, we did online class for 3 months, which was challenging considering we missed out on a lot of hands-on. However, my class still graduated on time in July despite all of it.
-I went to state board and passed both my theory and practice with high scores and got my license
-Though weddings came to a halt during the summer and money was tight, slowly but surely I started getting business again in the fall. And thankfully, my part time receptionist job never closed.
-I landed my first esthetician job
-I learned more working in esthetics than I ever did in school
-got a second esthetician job, allowing me to quit my receptionist job on the very last day of 2020, to become a full time esthetician💕
-And most importantly, everyone I know is healthy and safe!

Now, my goal for 2021 is to start and hopefully finish school for my master esthetician license 🤞🏼

I hope everyone is staying safe and having a great start to their new year🥳
So I had a very exciting day today… I got dress So I had a very exciting day today…

I got dressed up and hit all the spas in town with my resume in hopes to find one that hired apprentices for esthetician’s looking to get their master’s license

I had little luck with any of them, but then, the very last one on my list turned my mood around. They interviewed me on the spot and offered me a job! (Once I officially start I will share what spa it is, and yes I still work at Simply Bliss as well!)

When I went into work this afternoon, I put in my two weeks notice at my receptionist job

I will now, for the first time ever, be working ONLY in my career field! (And have 2 jobs instead of 3🤪)

To finally be JUST an esthetician and a makeup artist feels SO GOOD!
I’ve anticipated this day for years. Thanks to everyone who supported me along the way🥳
Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is having a great Happy Saturday!

I hope everyone is having a great day whether you’re wrapping presents or not even finished Christmas shopping (like me💁🏼‍♀️😂)

I want to remind you guys that today is the LAST DAY to enter the giveaway for the $50 Ulta gift card! Giveaway closed at 11:59 tonight, and I will be announcing to winner tomorrow on a live video. Good luck!
