ABOUT DANA

“Beauty isn’t about looking perfect. It’s about celebrating your individuality” -Bobbi Brown

Hi, I’m Dana! I’m a natural glam makeup artist based in Shreveport-Bossier, LA—and I truly love what I do. The joy in my clients’ eyes, the gasps of excitement, and the gratitude I receive when they look in the mirror are what keep me inspired after 8+ years in the industry.

I began my journey working with local photographers and other freelance artists, focusing on boudoir, maternity, and family shoots. But once I experienced my first few weddings, I instantly knew that bridal makeup and special event makeup were my true calling. Over the last four years, weddings have become my top priority, and I’ve built my signature style around soft, natural glam. Being a part of someone’s big day—helping them feel confident, radiant, and celebrated—is such a beautiful honor.

Outside of makeup, I’m a proud wife and mom to two amazing boys, Noah and Jace. Family means everything to me. I met my husband, Michael, in 2016 on a dating app, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. We had an intimate bayou wedding in North Louisiana in 2019 and later celebrated big at The Dixie Gin! We love to travel, play board games, and soak up every moment together.
