Mac is our client relations manager, working behind the screens (pun intended) to make sure each client gets exactly the session and products they want, as well as managing other administrative responsibilities. They joined the team in September 2020 as the studio manager. Turning that over to Nickie enabled them to pursue some passion projects while still remaining a part of the team. Mac is a writer, comedian, wanna-be chef, and aspiring adult. They love music, Archer, and their holy terror of a cat, Chaos.

Anna Michael is an award-winning hair and makeup artist. She joined the team in September 2020, upon the opening of the studio. Inspired by watching her mother and grandmother, Anna Michael began practicing hair and makeup on her friends in middle school. In addition to being the key stylist for CLB, she is an independent contractor and manages a boutique! We haven't figured out yet when exactly she sleeps lol. Anna Michael loves traveling, old country music, line dancing, and serial killer documentaries.

Brianna is our associate hair and makeup artist who lights up the room with her smile and enthusiasm on session days. After over a decade as a hairstylist and makeup artist, Brianna remains passionate and committed to growing her skills and providing clients with the latest techniques and services. Her talents have been featured in local wedding magazines, as well. When she’s not working, she is at home with her 4 beautiful girls. She loves her family, traveling, and Christmas music.
