About summer
Summer is a professional makeup artist and licensed esthetician based in Central Virginia, with over a decade of freelance artistry devoted to her craft. Her journey began at Makeup Designory in Los Angeles, where she trained across the full spectrum of the industry — from classic beauty to special effects — before graduating in 2009.
It was bridal artistry that captured her heart, and becoming a bride herself only deepened that devotion. That experience shaped her signature philosophy: true bridal beauty isn't about transformation, it's about elevation — polished, timeless, and unmistakably you. Since 2016, Summer has dedicated her artistry to an exclusive clientele of brides who value quality, precision, and a truly personalized experience on the most important day of their lives.
Beyond the chair, Summer is a wife and mother, and that same warmth, intuition, and meticulous attention to detail is woven into every appointment she creates. In addition to bridal beauty, she lends her artistry to bridal parties, portraits, headshots, commercial work, print, and editorial projects.
Summer is available for hair styling on a case by case basis.
