Courtney has always appreciated beauty being a model herself from the age of 12 and with many of her experiences, Courtney decided to integrate them into a career in 2007 when Courtney received her Esthetician License and focused her training within the makeup field. Courtney has worked with many brands as a pro makeup artist and is currently working as a Medical Esthetician providing complete rejuvenation of the skin. Bridal Makeup & Hair is Courtney’s passion.
