About
We aim to see the beauty in everyone and everything and show it to the eyes of the of the world. Our goal is for you to feel confident and love yourself!
Laidbacklizard Photo & Beauty, started and led by Becca Paschall, was started in 2015 when Becca was finishing college. After having an eye and passion for makeup artistry since her teens, and unexpectedly falling in love with the camera while being forced to take a photography class in college, the idea to offer the combination of both was born. What better way to serve people than to help them feel beautiful before they even get in front of the camera? Doing someone's makeup before taking their photos not only brings out their natural beauty and gives them a confidence boost, the time spent with the artist doing makeup also helps the client feel more at ease at the photo session.
Soon after graduating college in 2015, Becca moved from Murray, KY to Chattanooga, TN where Laidbacklizard has been headquarted for 11 years. We work mainly in the East Tennessee/North Georgia area but are always open to travel inquirires.
Services offered:
Makeup Artistry
From the early days of watching Youtube beauty gurus during her teens, to the theatrical makeup classes for her art minor in college, to working at Sephora in her mid 20s, Becca has a well rounded approach to makeup application. After leaving Sephora, she transitioned to freelance bridal makeup as well as commercial work/headshots. She has makeup application experience on a wide variety of skin tones, ages and genders.
Photography
It's true, Becca had no interest in photography until she was required to take it as a class in college. She worked at a restaurant and took senior photos for the hostess, posted them on Facebook, and the rest is history. She quickly realized how much she loved this form of artistry and how beautifully it could pair with her love of makeup.
Olive Tree People
This is where the love of skincare/makeup and helping others feel beautfiul all ties together! Olive Tree People is a waterless beauty brand based out of Germany. Most personal care products are over 70% water. Instead of any added water in their products, OTP uses a bioactive olive leaf elixir as the base of all their products, making them anti-inflammatory and nourishing for your skin.
