Engagement Session Looks via Pinterest

When it comes to engagement session looks the one word that comes to mind is feminine. You could never go wrong with a flirty skirt, romantic maxi or fun jeans. I've been gushing over Pinterest ever since I first discovered it so it seemed fitting to put together some posts with images I've been pinning. I'm starting here with some of my favorite engagement session looks. What did you wear in your engagement photos? Please share!

This weekend was special because it was my birthday weekend. Celebration was pretty low key but a surprise dinner at my favorite restaurant was definitely the highlight. As usual, I shared some images on Instagram, please enjoy!

Loving - Model in a Bottle

"How long will my makeup last?"

“Will it stay on all night?"

 "Do need to touch up throughout the night?"

These are some of the most frequently asked questions I receive from my clients during our consultation. I always reassure them that their makeup won’t move! One of my tricks for helping me live up to this promise is Model in a Bottle setting spray.  I love this product because it really works! When I use this spray on my clients, I have full confidence that their makeup will remain intact all night. A generous spray across their face is always the last step in my makeover process. I have been using this on all of my clients since I first discovered years ago and it hasn’t let me down yet!

You have to give it a try! Are you a believer? I'd love to hear how you like it!
