Hi, I’m Thuy (pronounced “Twee”) — the artist and photographer behind Makeup & Photos by Twee 😊

My love for photography started at a young age and quickly turned into a passion for capturing real moments and real confidence. Over time, that passion naturally evolved into a full-service experience where makeup and photography come together to help you feel your best and look like you — just a litt

le more elevated! Whether I’m creating beauty for weddings and special events or capturing senior portraits, family sessions, and branding imagery, my goal is always the same: to help you feel comfortable, confident, and truly seen. I’m known for easygoing sessions, genuine connection, and results that feel natural, polished, and effortless. I want every experience to feel relaxed, fun, and personalized — because when you feel good, it shows in every photo 💛

Based in Nebraska with travel available, I’d love to work with you and help tell your story through beauty, imagery, and connection.

I’ve done makeup for so many brides over the years, but nothing could have prepared me for what it would feel like to do my own daughter’s. 🤍

My Hanna.

From the little girl in these photos to the woman standing in front of me on her wedding day… what a ride it has been. Not always easy, sometimes really hard, but beautiful, rewarding and ours.

I am so incredibly proud of the woman you’ve become. Your heart, your strength, the way you love and the life you’ve built. Watching you marry the person you’ve loved for almost nine years is a moment I’ll carry with me forever.

I’ll always be your mom, always be cheering you on and always be your biggest fan.

What an honor it is to be your mom. 🤍

I love you, baby girl. Always.

Today was one of those afternoons that reminded me how much showing up for people matters. 🤍

Maid to Clean spent their client appreciation afternoon here at the studio — food, snacks, a little makeup for those who wanted it, headshots, lots of laughs and one pretty special team photo under “Maid to Clean • Since 2018” at the Joyo.

They’ve had a WEEK, and yet you could feel how much this group genuinely enjoys each other and how much Melanie Barnhill + JJ Barnhill appreciate the people who work alongside them. I loved getting to see that firsthand.

Carrah Elaine joined me again today for headshots, and I continue to love what we’re building together. Makeup & Photos by Twee is becoming so much more than just me behind a camera or holding a makeup brush. It’s a collaboration of professionals coming together to create an entire experience for the people who walk through our doors.

Today was a really good example of exactly what I hoped this studio could be. 🫶🏼

Thank you, Melanie, JJ + the Maid to Clean crew, for spending your afternoon with us!

I finally tried Rhode Beauty for myself… and I have thoughts. 🤭

First impressions of the Glazing Milk, Glazing Mist, Peptide Lip products, Pocket Bronze + Pocket Blush — trying everything for the first time and sharing what I think as I go.

This started as a 25-minute GRWM 😂 but between Instagram limits and all of our attention spans, I condensed it down to less than 3 minutes.

So yes… makeup magically appears on my face between clips. 😂 I started completely bare-faced with the skincare, then did my foundation, concealer, brows, etc. in between so I could keep this focused on the Rhode products.

And spoiler: I REALLY liked a lot of it. 👀

I put all of the Rhode products I tried + my favorites into one ShopMy collection — linked in my bio! 🤎

25 minutes ➡️ under 3.
True first impressions.
And apparently I’ve been influenced. 😂🤍

Senior season is in FULL swing! 🤍📸

Emma is a simple kinda gal, did her own makeup, and came into her session not totally sure about this whole being-in-front-of-the-camera thing. 😂 And you know what… MOST people aren’t!

That’s why I take my time. We talk. We figure out what you like, what you don’t like, what feels like YOU, and we ease into it. You do not have to show up knowing how to pose or what to do — that’s my job!

And Miss Emma was the perfect example. 🤍 By the middle of our very first set in the studio, I could already see her getting more comfortable and thinking, “Okayyyy… maybe I CAN do this.” 😂

Then we hit the 2nd and 3rd locations and GIRL, she absolutely killed it. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

And this session was a little extra special for me because Emma officially completes the Sheets kids! 🥹 I photographed her sister’s seniors a few years ago, her brother’s, and now Emma’s.

Getting to have families come back and trust me with kid after kid and milestone after milestone is pretty darn special. 🤍 Thank you DeAnna Frenk Sheets and Jim Sheets!

Proof that makeup doesn’t have to change your face to make an impact. 🤍

Different faces, different features, different preferences.

Every look is customized to the person sitting in our chair, from fresh and natural to soft glam and everything in between. The goal is always for you to still look and feel like YOU.

A few of our Friday + Saturday transformations.
