Some careers are built around helping people look beautiful.
Others are built around helping people feel beautiful.
For Gracie Harrawood, it's always been both.
As the owner of Glam by Gracie, she's spent years helping women feel confident for some of life's biggest moments - from weddings and school dances to fitness competitions, photo sessions and everything in between. Whether she's creating a soft, natural glow or full-on glam, Gracie has a way of making every client feel like the best version of themselves.
Beauty That Goes Beyond the Makeup Brush
Gracie's passion for beauty has continued to grow over the years.
In addition to professional makeup artistry, she now offers permanent makeup services including lip blushing, brows, and eyeliner, giving clients beautiful, confidence-boosting results that last well beyond a single event. She also offers spray tanning, making her a one-stop beauty destination for brides, bridal parties, vacations, school dances, and other special occasions.
Based in Illinois, Gracie frequently travels throughout Illinois, Missouri, and beyond, bringing her artistry wherever her clients need her.
Creating a Brand That Feels Like Her
When we planned Gracie's branding session, we wanted her images to reflect more than just what she does.
We wanted them to capture the creativity, professionalism, and warmth that her clients experience the moment they sit in her chair.
That meant showcasing not only beautiful portraits, but also the tools of her trade, the artistry behind her work, her brand colors, and the welcoming personality that has made her such a sought-after makeup artist.
Because personal branding isn't simply about having updated headshots.
It's about telling the story behind your business.
Part of the Megan Kathleen Boudoir Team
One of the reasons we were especially excited to photograph Gracie is because she's been part of the Megan Kathleen Boudoir experience for nearly the very beginning.
She's helped countless women prepare for their sessions, creating everything from effortless natural beauty to glamorous looks that leave clients feeling confident before they ever step in front of the camera.
Her calm personality, incredible talent, and genuine kindness have made her someone our clients instantly feel comfortable with—and someone we're incredibly grateful to work alongside.
Looking for Branding Photography/video?
Whether you're a beauty professional, entrepreneur, or small business owner, your brand deserves more than a simple headshot.
It deserves imagery that tells your story, showcases your personality, and helps future clients connect with you before they ever reach out.
That's exactly what personal branding photography is all about.
