Born and raised in central Illinois, Stephanie was born into an artistic family. Her father, Steve, was a lover of the Arts and did many amazing pieces throughout his later years. He was a classic vehicle restoration specialist and was an amazing painter. Stephanie would get art instruction books, calligraphy sets, oil pastels, and painting sets for Christmas and birthday gifts. Her father would encourage her to work on her art every day.

Stephanie quickly fell in love with every aspect of the Arts. She was the creative one that everyone wanted to have their nails painted or their makeup done by. She won awards for artwork in elementary through high school. Art was the start of her beauty industry passion. She enjoyed being behind the scenes and assisting backstage during school plays. As a young girl, watching beauty pageants on TV only fueled her passion for becoming a makeup artist.

After having her first child, her goals were pushed back temporarily, but after having more children and playing the role of stay-at-home mom, Stephanie realized it was time to make her dreams become reality. As soon as her youngest child was in school, she enrolled in the University of Spa and Cosmetology Arts in the Esthetics program to become licensed to do makeup legally in Illinois. After graduating with her Esthetics license in 2013, Stephanie  started her freelance makeup artistry business and quickly gained a lot of experience in Bridal Makeup Artistry, Boudoir, Photoshoots, and Special Occasion Makeup. She is also certified in Eyelash Extension Application. Stephanie relocated to the Tampa, Florida area in 2021 and is loving that she gets to share her passion in the Sunshine State!
