before and afters?
as a client, I understand that seeing before and afters can be helpful when searching for an artist.
as an artist, I'm not willing to project the idea that you were not beautiful before the makeup, photoshop etc...
you are beautiful... period !
instead, I have created an unedited portfolio taken with an iPhone in natural daylight.
this way you may see how the looks may appear in everyday life.
want a special discount for hair and makeup? head to @studiosat307 open studio event today and pick up a card with a special link and QR code to book with $25 off your hair or makeup service! I am unfortunately sick and won’t be there to see everyone’s beautiful faces but I hope to see some back at my studio soon π₯° and while you’re there check out the other incredible artists and small businesses. from painters, feltwork, and even a dance studio!
this is easily becoming my most requested look this bridal season. glowy skin, nude lip stain, soft eye shadow, with a soft wing!β
.β
also don't forget Ulta's 21 days of beauty started yesterday 8/30. check out the link in my bio for some of my favorites! β

today's glam! I'm loving this look, especially the eyes. We also kept her hair more curly as she has a few hours until photos. so by the time she gets to photo time, they will be more relaxed and will still last all day! #tricksofthetrade #artistrybykelsea #glam #glowing #smallbusinessβ

did you know that using different style curing irons will give you a very different texture? if you’re someone who struggles with curls falling out, try a curing wand instead. if you’re curls end up too tight, try a traditional curling iron with a clamp. which curl type do you prefer?

happy pride month !! π³οΈπ pride month serves as a great reminder that no matter how you identify and no matter who you love, you will be respected and seen at artistry by kelsea.
.
it also serves as a good reminder that a person who identifies with the LGBTQ+ community may not look a certain way. open your mind to any possibilities and believe them when someone tells you who they are. β€οΈ
#lgbtq #loveislove #pridemonth #community #love #respect #couplegoals
.
side note: I can’t for the life of me remember the photographers for photos 1 and 3. if you see this dm me and i’ll fix it π
this was a fun one β€οΈπ₯
this bridesmaid sat in my chair open to ideas and what I thought would look nice given her natural features and texture. I started with a more traditional curly half up, but it gradually turned into something way more fun π
if you put trust your artist and their skills, it becomes more than just hair, you allow them to create art πΌοΈ

a huge congrats to the first brides of the spring season!
this weekend both brides chose an updo! the first I added in light texture for a more sleek, smoothed updo.
the second we used her natural curl texture to create a voluminous textured updo. 2 beautiful ways to wear your hair on your wedding day! which do you prefer? let me know in the comments β¨

self care sunday! realizing that self-care is not bubble baths and face masks changed the game for me. what recharges you? what relaxes your mind and is kind to your body? what type of self-care are you doing today?

i got the opportunity to inspire the next generation over the weekend! W’s mom called me a few weeks ago sharing that her daughter was turning 13 and wanted a makeup lesson… with 6 of her friends!!
i was more than happy to make that happen. they were kind, encouraging and we’re much better than i was at that age!! plus lessons are always much more fun with friends.

this will be the first shoot of many, in a space that allows me the flexibility of caring for my clients, but also for myself and my disabilities. it was a hard pill to swallow that i will not be able to work like i used too. creativity is an outlet for me that improves my quality of life. now i can cater to both π₯Ή

Everyone wants to look and feel their best on their wedding day! For me, that was purple hair and a gemstone eye look π
It's important that you take the time to figure out how you want to look and feel, as well as knowing what you don't like. Put together a @pinterest board and look at photos of the last time you got all fancy.
All of this helps me create your perfect look!

Another beautiful wedding trial! I am always asked is it important to do a trial.
If you are not used to seeing yourself dressed up and in full hair and makeup, absolutely ! It's about visualizing yourself on your day! Keep in mind make up may look heavier in person but in photos you can look washed out without a little extra pop!!
I recommend scheduling your trial 2-3 months before your wedding day and on a day when you have other things to do. Call your girlfriends for brunch, date night with your fiance, or even your engagement photos!
