I’ve been on a trip down memory lane this entire week and I need to look at my horoscope and see what’s up about that. But anyhoo I’m flashing ALLL the way back today because Omg LOOK AT US WE WERE BABIES ❤️ This was my last event before leaving MAC in 2008. It was called the Emerge Fashion show and it was in downtown Sacramento. I did my first drag makeup that night. I remember Tina couldn’t make it for some reason and she was a little mad at me. But I see @skinbysara @naimamora @victorcembellin @christopherroa and there are many more of you but I can’t find you guys here so be sure to tag yourselves. I love you all and I miss you. #macfamily #macfam #macmates #BeforeThereWasInstagram #fbf #StudioFix #Prrrr #sacramento

Actual photo of what some people think “off season” looks like for me, and every professional wedding vendor right now. . . The truth? . . People might think it’s “off season”. But it’s so not. In the wedding industry, it’s booking season. Tire kicking season. Cast a net and see who bites season. Posts looking for “affordable makeup artist/photographer/catering recommendations” season. . For me it’s building season. Planning season. Communication season. Shaping my whole year and deciding what I’ll turn down and who-friends, family, and complete strangers-I’m going to stoke out or disappoint and how I want that all to look this year season. . Right now during “off season” is when we’re actually working the most, and the hardest. The behind the scenes work might just blow your mind. A bride’s wedding day is the easy part because most of the real work we’re doing over here to make it awesome for her is already done by then. Before anyone’s face ever even gets touched. Before a photo gets snapped. Before the food is served. . This stuff is harder than it looks, guys. It’s emotional, challenging, and it takes a TON OF TIME. Like- a LOT a lot. . People often wonder why it costs what it does to get married, and why hiring talented people and having a luxury service brought to them on their wedding day costs what it does There’s something everyone needs to hear: There are often a lot of expensive risks attached to the most “affordable” option. . We who have chosen to dedicate our lives and careers to the wedding industry are in the business of selling time, everyone. We sell weekends. Emotional real estate. Our commitment to one person and their family, often complete strangers, for their life event, for a whole day. Not our friends, not our family. . We’re selling days that we might miss a family member’s wedding, or funeral, or health crisis. We miss graduations, our childrens’ award ceremonies and ball games. We say no to trips and job opportunities. We say no to date nights and evenings out so we can prepare and go to bed early to be fresh and energized at 7 am Every. Single. Friday. and Saturday. and some Sundays. (cont. in comments)
