Meet Carly — Your Glam Artist

Before a single frame is captured, you deserve to feel like the most beautiful version of yourself.

That is exactly what Carly Wolert makes happen.

Carly is a New York-based makeup specialist with over 16 years of experience transforming women across every skin tone, every occasion, and every vision imaginable. From breathtaking bridal looks to high fashion runways, music videos, and red carpet events — Carly has done it all, and she brings every bit of that expertise directly to you in the studio.

Trained at Dutchess BOCES Cosmetology and with six years of experience at JAG Hair Salon before launching her own freelance business GlitzndGlamour, Carly has built a reputation as one of the most sought-after makeup artists in the Hudson Valley and beyond. She works year-round with brides and wedding parties throughout Dutchess County, New York State, New Jersey, and Connecticut — and her work has graced some of the most prestigious stages in the industry.

Her credits speak for themselves — Victoria's Secret Ice Angel Bra Launch, New York Fashion Week, Bronx Fashion Week, Rocky Gathercole, Fashion on the Hudson, the NYC Shootathon with Don Pittman, New York's Next Top Model, music videos, web series, charity events, and countless editorial and commercial productions that have taken her from the Hudson Valley to the runways of New York City.

But here is what makes Carly truly extraordinary.

She is a self-described perfectionist who is influenced by the anatomy of the face — the way color and texture and light interact with different skin tones, the way makeup can convey emotion, confidence, and power without saying a single word. She is endlessly curious, updating her product knowledge and perfecting her craft every single year to stay ahead of the newest trends in makeup artistry.

And she has a gift for making women feel completely at ease.

Her relaxed, professional presence creates an instant sense of calm — the kind that turns a nervous morning into a luxurious, memorable experience. Photographers love working with her. Brides never want to let her go. And the women who sit in her chair at Hudson Valley Boudoir Photography consistently say the same thing —

I have never felt so beautiful.

When you arrive at your session Carly will take her time with you. She will listen to your vision, study your features, and create a flawless, seamless look that is entirely and completely yours — one that photographs beautifully under studio lighting and holds up throughout every outfit change of your session.

This is not just makeup.
This is the first step of your transformation.

And you are in the best possible hands.
