I am so ridiculously excited about getting to cross #11 off of my list. I really didn’t expect that I would accomplish that goal, but I wrote it down.

Back in April or May, one of my fellow CRAVE sisters threw out a suggestion of having a retail space that was filled with CRAVE businesses. A few people agreed it would be cool and when we showed up to the initial meeting, all that was there were photographers. The project morphed into a co-op space with four studios, which we have affectionately named The Space @ LoHi.

Each of us remain our own separate entities, but we all live under the same roof and are working towards creating a green, functional workspace and client meeting space for all of us, as well as other professionals around the Denver metro area.

We will be hosting our grand opening next Thursday, September 8th from 5-10 pm. If you’re in Denver, please come down and say hi! We’re located at 2525 15th St, #1A. We’re on the west side of I-25,  two blocks up from REI and right across the street from Forest Room 5.

{coming soon}

I’ve got to admit it: I’m pretty darn excited for 2011. I’ve spent the majority of my holiday weekend working on all sorts of ideas for the studio and some unique promotions and events that I’ll be working on throughout the year.

Here are just a few:

{delgadillo | family}

I had the pleasure of getting to photograph the lovely Delgadillo family again this year. It amazes me how quickly kids seem to grow when you don’t see them every day. Heck, I’m still surprised at how quickly my little one has grown and I see her every day.

We ventured out to a nice spot off the San Francisco Peaks in beautiful Northern Arizona, Kendrick Park. We found a lovely spot among the turning aspens, which made for a great spot to take some photos.

What I love about this area is that it’s mostly pine trees, but there is one lonely aspen grove among them. The white bark stands out against the dark pines.

Can’t wait to see them again next year!

announcements!

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!

{the room they shared | dance}

The Isolated Incident asked me to shoot their performance of “The Room They Shared.” Last year’s performance was a ton of fun, although challenging. Here are a few of my favorites from this year.

{marshall arts gala | events}

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.

can’t make it but still want to help? visit www.flagarts.com/donate

tickets are available through the fala office, 928-779-7223 or at pesto brothers pizza.

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.
