One of my favorite people to work with is Lisa Tekautz of @lisachristineartistry.
Her soft glam looks are the perfect finishing touch for the sessions I photograph. When clients walk into my studio after a visit to Lisa, they’re glowing inside and out. Her work brings out their natural beauty in a way that’s effortless, elevated, and so photogenic.
Soft Glam That’s Camera-Ready and Confidence-Boosting
Lisa specializes in soft glam and she absolutely nails it. Her makeup enhances each client’s features in the most natural, flattering way. It’s the perfect balance between everyday beauty and photo-ready glam. Whether it’s a motherhood session or a full family session, her looks photograph beautifully from every angle.
We’ve collaborated on a couple motherhood sessions, and they were truly some of my favorites. The moms arrived looking radiant and relaxed, which set the tone for a calm, confident shoot.
She’s Reliable, Fun, and So Easy to Work With
Lisa is also the kind of person you just want to be around. She’s friendly, down to earth, and makes clients feel instantly comfortable. One of my favorite things about working with her is how dependable she is she even came through for a client who booked last-minute and needed makeup with very little notice.
She works out of a studio in Fridley, Minnesota, just 15 minutes from mine. That makes it super easy for my clients to get their makeup done with her and then head straight to their session with me, looking and feeling their best.
