ABOUT KINDRED

 

Kindred Beauty Co. is a bridal beauty team based in the Hudson Valley, specializing in modern, naturally refined beauty.

 

Founded by hair stylist Katie Kelly and makeup artist Alana Schmidt, Kindred was built on shared aesthetic alignment. and a calm, intentional approach. Our work enhances rather than transforms — polished, effortless, and thoughtfully executed.

​

We are a small, bespoke team selected for technical excellence and steady presence — approachable, grounded, and confident in what we do.

 

We serve weddings throughout the Hudson Valley, travel for destination celebrations, and collaborate on select editorial projects.

OUR APPROACH​

We believe bridal beauty should feel as good as it looks.

​

Our signature style is defined by:

• Skin that looks like skin

• Hairstyles with soft structure and movement

• Modern refinement over excess

• Beauty that holds effortlessly - in person and on camera

 

We don’t chase trends. We refine what already works — enhancing your features in a way that feels current, timeless, and effortless both in person and on camera.

THE EXPERIENCE

Wedding mornings set the tone for the day. Beyond artistry, we bring calm energy, organization, and a seamless flow to the room.

 

We work closely with planners and photographers to keep timelines on track and every detail considered. From first inquiry to final touch-up, our approach is consistent, professional, and attentive.

​

Because exceptional beauty is defined not only by the final look — but by the experience surrounding it.
