Valerie Hammer Makeup Artistry

I know that summer break has officially begun, but I wanted to show my thanks to all the teachers! Your jobs are SO important (I honestly don’t know how you all do it) and I really suck at getting my s**t together during teacher appreciation week (I’m sorry!)

To show my gratitude, I want to dedicate my August (and end of July) to YOU, because you deserve to feel like your best self, while inspiring our children ❤️

***just mention this flyer and your teaching position when inquiring to schedule. Feel free to share with your local teacher friends who aren’t on social media!

I truly appreciate you and everything you do for our children 🧑‍🏫!!

Glamour shots are back! When themed birthdays are THIS fun, why wouldn’t you get your hair, makeup AND photos done??

In honor of 🌈 month, I’m resharing Maddy’s story (+ a little more) in a new blog post!

Maddy came in for a lesson a few years ago. She wanted to feel pretty without feeling over done, as makeup was completely new to her. How she felt, by the end of her lesson, is still one of the my career highs to this day 🩷. I don’t often share a lot of my clients’ personal journeys, out of respect for their privacy. Maddy’s encouragement to share hers, especially with other members of the trans community, was truly special!

Happy !

She’s a mom, a female entrepreneur and overall amazing human who lifts up so many other female entrepreneurs/business owners…and 100% deserves to be in the spotlight ✨
