REVEAL YOURSELF

What if wearing makeup could reveal more of your most authentic self? 

This winter, join me and professional makeup artist, Betsy Dewar Wheeler, for a special opportunity to enjoy being in front of the camera and discover how makeup can be your new BFF! 

If you feel intimidated by makeup, don’t typically use it, or haven't ever liked how traditional makeup feels on your skin, and you want a more natural-looking makeup style, we will have a ball together.  

Betsy and I both believe in beauty at every age and stage, and we want to share the magic with you. No matter your history with makeup (or lack thereof), this session will be a chance to play, discover, and reveal all the beauty of you right at this moment in your life and celebrate yourself!

If you could use a confidence boost or a little novelty or pampering to break up the winter days, join us for a welcoming, relaxed, and fun experience. 

You’ll come away with a package of digital portraits to enjoy as a memento of revealing your natural beauty and/or to use professionally.  

Don’t miss out! 

This is a one-day-only offering with just four spots available!

“I loved working with Isabella! I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel posing for an hour, but I laughed and smiled the whole time and the hour flew by. Isabella made me feel so comfortable and most importantly, I absolutely love the photographs. I feel like she really captured my personality. My friends’ and family’s reactions - stunning, gorgeous, photogenic - who doesn’t want to hear that? Now we all want to go to Bologna with Isabella for my photographs, food and fun!” - Taryn La Raja

“Isabella is the best. She made me laugh. She helped me stay relaxed. She listened to me, but came up with her own ideas and thoughts. She is a gem. (And this from someone who hates to have her photo taken!) Thank you, Isabella!” - Molly Burnham

About Betsy

Betsy Dewar Wheeler is a self-taught makeup specialist living in Western Massachusetts. A middle-aged queer femme and no-makeup-makeup girlie, she’s recently found joy in teaching the basics of contouring and highlighting. 

Betsy is invested in making sure that the makeup looks like YOU, and that you feel comfortable in it (even revealing more of your inner self through makeup artistry!). Betsy uses Seint Beauty products, which are free of gluten, paraben, sulfates, and fragrances, and are also cruelty-free. The makeup is highly pigmented, which allows the smallest bit of makeup to make a big impact. 

“Betsy did such a beautiful job on my makeup for my wedding ceremony. I was so nervous to have someone "do me up" and Betsy held my hand through the whole process. She listened really actively and approached something that gave me so much anxiety with tenderness and empowerment. We took some bold leaps (see eyebrows) and it 100% paid off. Betsy is really good at what she does and she makes you feel like a real queen throughout. 100% would do it over with Betsy again.” -E.D.

“The photos from my hour-long session with Isabella looked fantastic and totally exceeded my expectations. She did an amazing job of making someone who is incredibly uncomfortable having their picture taken look good and relaxed. I now have a handful of photos that I can use that are simultaneously warm and professional, which is exactly what I was hoping for.” - Joshua Relin

“I'm so grateful to have worked with Isabella. As someone who does not love having her picture taken, I appreciated Isabella's style - both creative and artistic and also natural and authentic. She met me right where I was and it showed in the pictures! I'm already thinking about ways to work with her again and recommend her highly.” - Alexandra

“Isabella is my friend and ally in depicting aging with poetry and power. What a joy it is creating with you! Your eye, your ease, your professionalism, your heart of caring, and soul of fun! Brilliant fun! Total epic trust! You see me through your process of conversation and lens! Do not wait for a "special occasion" to be seen and to capture yourself; Life is too short. Value yourself. And turn yourself over to this experience that is far more than photography - a delicious cocktail that feels like therapy and a fun time out.” - Mary Beth
