The life of a pro Artist changes daily— one day I’m called for a branding shoot; or working behind-the-scenes for a production project or servicing a luxe Bride.
Whether e-commerce, commercial, advertising, weddings or a beauty campaign it’s ALL rewarding but challenging — all requiring a 110% of me.
As an immuno-compromised person and to keep everyone safe, I kindly request that all private clients, excluding (Crew productions) provide a negative antigen test prior to working together.
If you’re new to my Clientele, a connection call is scheduled first prior to booking. Before working together, I’d love to chat to see if we’re a good fit. This introductory call will allow us to discuss your styling needs, expectations and questions outside this website may not answer.

headshots & professional branding
Proper makeup can enhance your features and create a timeless look.
During the application, I make two considerations: how light affects makeup but also ways to elevate your on-camera experience right before you step onto “set.” The clean photo finish you see here is because I’ve found the balance of how to enhance a Clients' facial anatomy through the use of trusted cosmetics. I work in layers and this subtle look is the result.
Client appointments are held at 1855 Alcatraz Ave. The styling space is shared, so advanced notice is needed. If new to TMA choose below for our initial clarity call.
commercial photo & video shoots
As a Production Client, you can fully trust my on-set etiquette is sharp as a tack. You can trust, I know what hair & makeup works best for moving media, including color-correction techniques, working with RED epic digital and green screen set-ups. Send me a creative brief or mood deck and I’ll work hard towards execution. I love collaborative partnering with photographers, producers, art directors, beauty editors, actors and models, etc. Hearing my work requires little post-production/retouching gives me pride.
My experience with commercials, videos, editorial and print projects spans more than 20 years, and my high level of service leads to repeat bookings.
Please inquire for full-day and half-day rates.
