The Beauty Dream Team: Meet Suzanne and Monica, My Trusted Makeup Artists
When you book a headshot or portrait session with me, you’re not just getting beautiful photos. You’re getting a whole experience - one designed to help you look and feel like your very best self. A huge part of that comes down to the amazing talent and care of my makeup artists, Suzanne Syrek and Monica Contreras.
These two ladies are among the very best in San Antonio, and I’ve been lucky to have them by my side for over six years. I can honestly say that my clients rave about them as much as they do their photos!
Why I Trust Suzanne and Monica With My Clients
From the moment you sit in their chair, you’ll feel at ease. Suzanne and Monica both have a gift for making people comfortable, even those who normally shy away from makeup. Whether you prefer a natural, fresh-faced look or a little extra glam, they listen carefully to what makes you feel most confident.
Their skill goes far beyond applying flawless foundation or the perfect lip color. They understand exactly how makeup translates on camera - how to enhance your features and create a polished, camera-ready look that still feels like you.
More Than Makeup - It’s Part of Your Experience
One of my favorite things is watching the transformation - not just in how clients look, but in how they carry themselves. Having professional hair and makeup done is a moment to slow down, relax, and feel taken care of. I see shoulders drop, smiles grow, and nerves melt away. By the time we start shooting, you’re not wondering, “Do I look okay?” - you already know you do.
That confidence shines through every single image.
Gratitude for My Team
Suzanne and Monica have each played a big role in shaping the experience I offer today. They’re reliable, kind, and incredibly talented. I trust them fully, and I’m always excited to introduce them to new clients.
If you’ve been thinking about booking a session but worry about looking “camera ready,” you can rest easy. You’re in wonderful hands with these two.
