When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll find me embracing the beautiful chaos of life as a stay-at-home mom to my sweet boy, Cooper, and wife to my amazing husband, Jackson. Although I grew up in South Georgia, I now love calling Gainesville, GA my home. Our house is rooted in our faith, and it’s the heartbeat of everything we do. Most days, you can catch me in the kitchen. Whipping up signature cookies from scratch is my favorite way to slow down and create something thoughtful. There is so much magic in the intentionality of baking the perfect batch or caring for my boys, and that’s the exact same heart I bring to my brides. I want your wedding morning to feel just as cozy and warm as a fresh plate of cookies and a home full of love. I treat every detail of your look with the same care I pour into my own family, making sure you feel nurtured, seen, and completely at peace.
Meet Emma-Kate
Hey gorgeous! I’m so excited you’re here! My biggest goal is to make sure your wedding morning feels like a total breath of fresh air. I specialize in that soft, romantic, effortless glam that makes you look like the best version of yourself—not a stranger in the mirror. I want you to feel incredibly confident and comfortable, so when you look back at your photos, you just see your own beautiful smile glowing through. Beyond the hairpins and palettes, I’m here to create a calm, peaceful vibe where you feel completely taken care of and relaxed. You deserve a morning that’s as lovely and lighthearted as the rest of your big day, and I would be so honored to be the one behind the chair helping you shine. Let’s make some magic together and get you ready for your best chapter yet.
