What my Client Says

Kendra is a consummate professional.

When my MUA dropped out the week of my shoot, Kendra stepped in and exceeded everything. She eased my nerves, perfected a natural yet luminous look with the pop of color I asked for, and even helped with my hair. Professional, warm, and flawless. My only regret is not having her for the wedding. I will work with her again.

What My Client Says

Kendra doesn’t just do makeup—she creates magic!

Kendra is amazing! She’s done my makeup for a photo shoot and a gala, and both times the process was seamless. She helps plan the look around your outfit, travels to you, and delivers stunning results that last all day. She's professional, friendly, and made me feel so beautiful. I won’t go to anyone else!

Kendra is a GEM!

Her warm spirit and unmatched professionalism made my 30th birthday photoshoot unforgettable. She tailored my makeup perfectly to all three outfits, and it lasted flawlessly all day. I even teared up seeing how she made my eyes pop! Kendra is personal, funny, and incredibly talented. Can’t wait to book her again!

Love Notes From My Client

Kendra was so understanding and made it so easy to reschedule

I booked Kendra to surprise my mom for her 70th. When we had to reschedule, she made it easy. Consultation, deposit, invoices, and follow ups were seamless. On the day, she arrived fully prepared, lighting included, and created makeup that looked flawless and lasted all night without flaking or looking cakey. My mom asked for privacy without her hijab, so I am sharing mine. We both felt beautiful.

FAQs

Your experience deserves clarity. Get answers to our most asked questions HERE.

WHO IS THIS EXPERIENCE FOR?

This experience is designed for professional women who want to look like themselves—polished, confident, and current. Whether you’re updating LinkedIn, preparing for interviews, refreshing your personal brand, or stepping into a new season, this is for women who understand that presence matters.

IS THIS A GLAM OR FASHION SHOOT?

No. Spring Reset is intentionally designed for professional presence — clean, refined, and timeless.

I DON'T LOVE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED. WILL YOU HELP WITH POSING?

Absolutely. Most women I work with don’t consider themselves “photogenic.” You’ll be guided through natural posing, posture, and expression so your photos feel relaxed, confident, and authentic—not stiff or unnatural.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR/HOW DO I PREPARE?

After booking, you’ll receive guidance on what photographs best for professional portraits, including colors, necklines, and styling tips. You don’t need to overthink it—I’ll help you feel prepared.

HOW LONG DOES THE SESSION LAST?

Each session is thoughtfully paced to allow time for makeup, portraits, and a calm experience. You will not feel rushed. Exact timing details are shared after booking.

HOW DO I KNOW THIS IS RIGHT FOR ME?

If you value quality, ease, and an experience that feels intentional rather than transactional—you’re in the right place. Everything here is designed for women who want to show up prepared and confident without feeling overdone.

WHAT IS REQUIRED TO RESERVE MY SPOT?

A $150 non-refundable retainer is required to secure your date and time. The remaining balance is due on the day of your session. Availability is limited and spots are first-come, first-served.
