New People, New Experiences

In this past year a lot has happened for me, both professionally as well as personally. In January I became an auntie and in May I received my MAT in Education. Within my hair and makeup artistry I had the great opportunity to design looks to go along with vintage couture gowns for a photo exhibit. During that experience I met Hannah Kirkpatrick, an amazing woman who was preparing to compete in the Mrs. Vermont competition. In our first encounter I did her hair and makeup for her professional head shots and in that same day she was a model for one of the couture gowns.  After this energetic and fun day I didn't really expect to cross her path too much, boy was I wrong.
The beautiful thing about Vermont and more specifically the Burlington area is that when you meet someone new they usually know at least one other person that you already know, making networking pretty amazing.  Being a past employee of Cynthea's Spa means I get called in on occasion when they need help and this past September I happened to get one of those calls. Cynthea needed me to help out doing some makeup for the Strut Fashion show, an annual fashion show during the Burlington Art Hop. When I got set up and ready to go the lovely lady that showed up to get her makeup done was no other than the crowned Mrs. Vermont, Hannah Kirkpatrick, the first ever Vermonter to be in the top 15 of the Mrs. America Pageant.
After this reconnection Hannah was lovely enough to ask me to do hair and makeup for her on a couple occasions and I couldn't be more excited to be part of her year as the reigning Mrs. Vermont 2013. Check out more about her amazing story here.
