The Nest Collective
Bringing Your Vision to Life
Hello! Let me introduce myself. I’m Judy Porter. A multi passionate Hair and Makeup Artist/ Event Planner/ Officiant/ Musician/ and Entertainer.
As a HMUA with years of experience creating looks for brides, photography, print, runway, and events, I love collaborating with you to create the perfect look! Being a licensed and insured esthetician, I use professional products that are healthy and safe for your beautiful skin. Face painting and henna are also offered for the kids and kids at heart.
When I’m not behind the chair, I’m busy planning unforgettable events. I’ve worked with top companies in Los Angeles and Denver on everything from weddings to birthdays. It’s always an honor to be a part of your special day. I can’t wait to help you create the event of your dreams. Let’s make magic happen!
As a musician and entertainer, I’ve been fortunate to have worked around the world singing, dancing, acting, and playing various instruments. From opening for The Beach Boys, Hinder, and Puddle of Mud to USO tours, stage to tv, children’s parties to weddings. I love it all! It would be a joy to add a touch of entertainment to your wedding, party, or event.
I feel so lucky to not have to choose only one hat to wear in this life. I spend my downtime learning and growing to be able to bring you my best. I will always bring you my best. It’s what you deserve.
