"I can't tell you the number of times I've fixed hair, re-glued eyelashes, sewn seam blow-outs, tacked up bustles, decorated cakes, pinned on boutonnieres, re-wrapped boquets, held children, counseled family arguments, driven home over-served guests, provided umbrellas, handed off my jacket and gloves; all with a camera in hand. Anything to make the day's experinece better for my clients." she says.
