Preferred Hair & Makeup Artists in Albany NY
Ever wonder what photographers think of the hair and makeup artists they work with? We see the results up close — how the makeup holds up under flash, through sweat and tears, happy and otherwise, and twelve hours later at the last dance. The artists on this list are the ones I trust with my brides. They are also the ones I've worked with for years for my in studio clients and for my own needs - they know how makeup photographs, they keep everyone calm on a busy morning, and the look still looks like you — just the best version.

These are my preferred hair and makeup artists.
