announcements!
June 30, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I admit I have been HORRIBLE about blogging and keeping my wonderful fans in the know about what’s happening at Eunice Brownlee Photography. Problem is, so much is going on that it’s hard to know where to start.
So let’s start with a few announcements!
First thing’s first — the show at Il Posto is still happening. It’s just postponed, thanks to a small personal crisis that left me unable to make it to Denver on time. I know, nice of me to tell you ten days late. It’s been a crazy month and I’m actually relieved that it’s over. I’m sorry for the delay, but the show will open on July 16th and I hope to see you there.
Secondly, I promised a portrait special, so here it is! For all portrait sessions booked now through July 31st, you will receive the entire session amount in product credit. Session dates may be booked through September 30th. To set up your portrait session, click here.
Denver fans – I will be in Denver September 15-21st, so if you’re interested in booking a session, please let me know right away! Only 8 sessions are available. Book now.
There are still a few spaces available for 2011 senior models. If you’re interested in getting the most out of your senior portrait experience, contact me for more information.
Lastly, the big re-design/re-brand project is fully underway. I’m really excited to pull everything together in the next few months.
There is a lot more going on, but with the J.O.B. and summer school, it’s been tough to keep up. More to come soon!

March 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment
you know I love a good party. and I especially love a party for a great cause.
in 1996, flagstaff arts & leadership academy became one of flagstaff’s first (I think it was the first, actually) charter schools, focusing on music, performing and visual arts. what, a school that is fine with me playing clarinet for half the day? genius!
I was a senior that year and didn’t want to change schools, and I was jealous of my younger sister that she got to attend such an amazing school. her experience was nothing less than top-notch and I was grateful that she got such a great education in high school. back then, they were meeting in portable trailers on the museum of northern arizona campus, hoping for new grounds by the time she graduated in 2000.
it’s been 14 years and fala still needs their new campus! a very generous donor has offered the school $20,000 if they can raise a match from the community. enter the gala! come on out on friday, march 26th at 7 pm to celebrate and help raise money for this very worthy cause! it will be a fun evening of delicious food, drink, entertainment, and a fabulous silent and live auction items.
tickets are just $20 and your ticket purchase includes plentiful hors d’oeuvres and one complimentary drink. the event will be held at:
museum of northern arizona, branigar/chase discovery center
3101 n. fort valley rd. (off highway 180)
flagstaff, az 86001
many local artists, companies and organizations have donated items to this event.

Type 1 diabetes runs in my family, so the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation is a cause that has a personal resonance with me. Last year, I was fortunate enough to photograph the annual walk/run for the Rocky Mountain Chapter, which ended up being a lot of fun and raised a lot of money.
The number of children with type 1 diabetes is growing. Each year, more than 15,000 children and teenagers are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the U.S. That’s more than 40 per day. The vast majority of children diagnosed with any form of diabetes are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $1.3 billion to diabetes research, including more than $156 million in FY2008. More than 85 percent of JDRF’s expenditures directly support research and research-related education. In FY2008, the Foundation funded more than 1,000 centers, grants, and fellowships in 22 countries, including nearly 40 human clinical trials. (source: JDRF Rocky Mountain)
This year, I was unable to attend the event itself, but got to experience the joy of photographing the awards banquet, where all of the accomplishments of the participating teams and sponsors were celebrated. The kids and adults had a great time running around and playing games at the Lucky Strike Bowling Alley in Belmar.
I look forward to next year’s event and hope that you will consider putting a team together to help raise money for a very worthy cause.

It's great to be back in Denver

This week has been a blast. The display at Il Posto has been extended through the end of the month, we raised over $1000 for Ezra in the Convergence show, and I had the fortune of shooting three super cool families.
Tonight, I’ll be shooting and awards banquet for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, which is sure to be a blast.
I’ve extended my stay in Denver for a few more days, so if you’re interested in booking a shoot, please get in touch with me.

I am fortunate enough to be the coordinator for this show for the second year. Last year, we raised a lot of money for a local artist’s charity and this year, we look to outdo ourselves.
Please mark your calendars and bring your tastebuds as we’ll have a delicious selection of food, wine, and art for any palate.
Announcing the official call for entries to this year’s show:

“The Things They Say” is a poignant portrayal of a young woman searching for equilibrium as she confronts the demands of single parenthood. Although she never steps out on stage, her struggles are shaped through the emotional imagery of dance and the ofttime judgmental remaks of her peers. The performance weaves dance, poetry, acting, and live music into a rick mosaic that takes us on a poingant and sometimes humourous journey of self-discovery.
I have the honor of photographing this amazing performance tomorrow night. I attended the first rehearsal a few weeks ago and left feeling confused. “I don’t get it,” I said. Erin Glockner, one of the dancers, had to explain it to me. I still didn’t get it. I guess I’m a bit ignorant when it comes to modern dance. However, last night at the dress rehearsal, it all clicked. Everything made sense and I was filled with wonder and excitement for what is guaranteed a great show.
Please join us:
Coconino Center for the Arts
2300 N. Fort Valley Rd
Flagstaff, AZ
Friday, July 24th, at 7:30 PM
Admission: $10 Adults/$5 Students
10% of the proceeds will go to the Marshall Magnet School Art Program.
{arboriculture with altitude | event}
July 10, 2009 By Leave a Comment
It’s been a while since I have shot a more corporate type of event, but I was certainly flattered when Art Daley, “The Tree Doctor,” of Arbor Pro Tree Care, asked me to photograph this conference. You see, Art was the chairman of this inaugural high altitude conference presented by the Western Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture (say that six times fast) and wanted to create a truly unique event.
I know, I know, you’re wondering, “what the heck is an arborist?” I happened to learn that the best way to describe an arborist is that they are simply “a forester who manages trees in an urban setting.” Now I know how to answer that question, since I do get it a lot.
It was a fantastic day filled with firsts: the first conference of this kind held in Northern Arizona, the first “non-boring” tree conference, the first time the mayor gave a key to the city to somone who wasn’t a firefighter or “somone who saves babies,” and the first time a photographer was present to document the occasion. I even took my photography to new levels when I willingly climbed in a bucket truck and went up 70 feet to take this group shot, even though I am ridiculously afraid of heights. Go figure.
This day was personally very special to me because I have spent my whole life around trees — from counting them in stand exams to peeling them for log cabins, and even helping take a few of them down now and again, I have grown up in a house where money really did grow on trees.
Despite the fact that I had the edge going in — I have known Quercus Gambelii, Pseudotsuga Menzezii, Juniperus Depiana, and Pinus Ponderosa since I was thirteen; I actually did know what an Arborist was, and I can tie a mean knot in a climb rope — I learned a lot that day about trees, insects, and even business.
It was a great day had by all and I look forward to attending in 2010. Click the photo above to view the slideshow.
