Maker Session:
Skin Studio by Casey

One of my favorite things about working with small businesses is the opportunity to trade services. There’s something so fun about collaborating in a way that lifts both of us up — especially when it’s rooted in mutual respect, trust, and creativity. When you run a business, there is always room to represent yourself authentically and artistically, and I love getting to support each other in that.

Casey is no different. She’s an absolutely incredible esthetician, but beyond her skill and professionalism, she genuinely cares. You can feel it the moment you meet her — the way she listens, the way she shows up for her clients, the way she holds space that’s both peaceful and empowering. She’s not just providing a service; she’s cultivating an experience.

Creating the vibe for this session with her was a total dream. Not just because we nailed the aesthetic, or because the light was perfect (it was), but because the energy was so full of love and support. Her husband was right there, cheering her on, helping out, hyping her up at every turn — it was honestly the sweetest thing.

And Casey? She BROUGHT. THE. FIRE. Like, stepped in front of the camera and lit it all the way up. Confidence, elegance, power — all of it. Watching her fully embrace herself and her work was inspiring in every way.

I’m already dreaming up ideas for the next time we get to create together. 🔥
