Michelle is a true professional. There is no doubt that with her skills, she can make a person's natural beauty stand out no matter who they are. Michelle's work is like a touch of magic & she'll give you lashes to die for:). Her great personality and witty charm is so refreshing. . She truly cares about her clients and making them feel & look their best. Michelle is my makeup artist for all boudoir sessions and fashion shoots.

PinMeUpCouture: New Project

So I have a little secret.......

The last few months I have been working on a new project. Once again I have joined up with Michelle of A Vogue Idea and we have come up with a fabulous new line of fun, flirty, and oh so sexy headpieces and bridal veils. We have worked hard into the night to research, sew, and create unique looks that are modern and fun. Anyone who knows me knows that I love taking unique little pieces and adding my special touch to them. The pieces that we have created are a mix of the modern bride with a slight twist on all things retro and vintage.

I had the pleasure of photographing two amazing girls on Saturday wearing these new creations. They rocked these looks and it was so much fun to see all the hard work come to life. I hope everyone will have as much fun looking and wearing these as we did creating them.

Thanks to everyone who has been involved in making this happen and a special thanks to the future runway models Stacey & Alice. Also a huge thanks to my friend Michelle, it has been so much fun working on this project with you & getting to know you better. We make a good team!

I will post the link to our ETSY store very soon. Also we will have a website in the near future. I would love for you to spread the word and check our store often:)

OK guys....drum roll please! {I'm so nervous yet excited to share this with you all} I hope you like....










































I would love to hear your comments! ~Tracy

Linda and Bob Part 2

Linda & Bob's Wedding Columbus Ohio: PicturesbyTracy

Bob & Linda were married this past Sunday at St. John's United Church & their reception was held at the River Club in Columbus Ohio. I didn't get the chance to know Linda and Bob that well, in fact, I met them on the wedding day. I was very nervous about never meeting them but it all worked out and straight away I could see that I was surrounded by wonderful loving people.

Bob and Linda it was a pleasure and honor to photograph your wedding. You're both awesome individuals.

Hey there Delilah ....What's it like in New York City? I'm a thousand miles away But girl, tonight you look so pretty.... Yes you do....Times Square can't shine as bright as you I swear it's true....

Bob surprised Linda with a song:) How sweet is that!?

Voted favorite couple I've ever met at a wedding:)
