love, your bobby pins.

As soon as I met Kristen when I did her trial, I knew we’d get along.  She has stunning style and a joy that is contagious.  She asked if I was able to do her hair for her engagement photos as well as her wedding.  The photos were too cute not to share!  She decided on a messy braided look that had the illusion that she did it herself, so it was too “done up”.  Isn’t she adorable!

I had the honor of doing hair for a shoot that was featured on the wedding blog Style Me Pretty.  We had a lot of fun with the shoot.  Jessica and Hunter are a ton of fun and all of the vendors from the day were great.  Alea Lovely set up the shoot, Click Here to see her full blog post of the shoot.  Pretty awesome.

Also, keep an eye out for this shoot in The Knot Wedding Magazine, as they’re working on a feature for it as well. Exciting!

Here are some shots of Jessica’s hair from the day.

It’s always fun to do hair for new friends and clients, but doing hair for people I know is always extra special!  This is my friend Megan, and she had me come out to do a style for her sister in law’s wedding.  It was a good time getting to be with her on this special day and meet some of her family.  We went with a pretty classic style and added a braid in for some fun.

Ashley is stunning.  Her smile brightens a room and she is so much fun!  I thought a New Years Eve wedding was a perfect fit for her.  Classic. Fun. Romantic. Check out her beautiful style.

I had the amazing opportunity to work with some of the best vendors in Kansas City to create an inspiration shoot a few weeks ago.  Alea, the photographer wanted a whimsical curled style that looked natural and glamorous.  I had a lovely model to work with and it turned out great.  The shoot was even featured on Ruffled. Check out the full list of vendors and loveliness on Ruffledblog.com. 

Stephanie is beautiful.  She is sweet and her laugh is contagious.  It was such an honor to get to know her and be a part of her special day.  She wanted something simple, and natural looking… a style that wasn’t too far from what her day-to-day hair looked like.  Her wedding was lovely, see for yourself.

I also had the opportunity to do Stephanie’s adorable neice, Kate’s hair and her sweet mom’s hair as well!

Katie originally contacted me and said she wanted me to do her hair but had NO idea what I’d do because her hair is super short. She has a cute cut with longer hair in the front and the back tapers into an adorable short bob.  Later in the wedding planning process, Katie attended a wedding and fell in love with the bride’s curly bun look.  When she told me about this via email, I told her to get extensions and we could work something out.  When she came to KC for her trial, I cut her extensions to blend with her natural haircut and we worked the magic.  Her hair turned out great.  Katie, her beautiful daughter, her family and friends were so much fun to be around during the “getting ready process”. Check it out.

Rachel is full of life and so, so sweet.  It was so much fun to be a part of her special day.  Rachel’s friends and family were a blast to be around all day… lots of laughing!  Her style was beautiful with a low, swept over bun.  They married at the Weston Red Barn Farm outside and it was dreamy!

Alea & Piotr  have a beautiful love story.  He’s from Poland, she’s from Missouri, they fought to see each other over the past few years.  They fell in love, got engaged, struggled through the visa process, they finally got to get married after not seeing each other for months and patiently waiting and waiting.  They have a great story and now they get to live the rest of it happily…together.  Alea is a friend of mine, so naturally, I was thrilled when she asked me to do her hair.  She looked absolutely perfect on that day… There aren’t words to describe the joy that melted out of her all day.  It was so beautiful.  Her wedding was the classiest I’ve ever seen.  It was the perfect mix of vintage, class and culture.  It was truly stunning.  It was such a fun, lovely day.
