I’d say I’m well past due on blogging. I have a really good excuse, really, I do. I’ve been busy. Okay, well, busy is a little bit of a GROSS understatement. In fact, I kind of miss the way the insides of my eyelids look. But every minute of insanity this past few months has been completely worth it. Collaboration has been the name of the game this summer, and I can’t be more excited about the direction the studio is moving.

For starters, some of my photographer friends and fellow CRAVE Denver businesses put our creative little heads together in the late spring and came up with a new collaboration, The Space @ LoHi. The Space, as we affectionately call it, is home to four amazing photography studios – all of us with a different specialty and style. In addition to housing all of our awesomeness, we also rent The Space out to other business professionals for meetings, presentations, or events. So the next time you’re chilling out at a local coffee house, trying to conduct a professional meeting, please keep us in mind. We’ll be hosting a grand opening soon as well.

I also did a super fun style shoot with wedding planners Pink Champagne and Bella Vista Weddings in May. We did up a couple of themes – Vintage Garden and Lady GaGa. Both themes were executed beautifully and I am excited to share my favorites from each session, as well as some of the notes from the planners, in upcoming blog posts.

Back in April, I treated myself to the greatest birthday present of all time ~ the One Light workshop, hosted by Zack Arias. I learned so much in that 16 hour day that I’m still trying to digest it all! Photographers, I highly recommend it. In July, a few of my fellow One Light alums got together to practice our skills on 7 teenage subjects. We had a blast! Group shoots like that are not only fun, but educational. I love it.

One of the most exciting additions to the studio this summer has been my style team – Jennifer Spencer of FRESH, and Sherry Rogers of HoTMeSS! I enlisted Jennifer and Sherry to help my clients look and feel their best for their photo shoots. Jennifer is a personal stylist and Sherry is a makeup artist. I’ll be introducing you to both of them in more detail soon, but all of my portrait sessions now include their services.

I’ve also been quite busy with clients of my own, shooting families to head shots to seniors to charity events.  The books for August and September are about full as well, which is super exciting. If you’re thinking about family portraits and holiday cards, now is the time to book!

Oh, and I took a vacation and went to Aruba for a friend’s wedding. I have to say that it was nice, for the first time in 7 years, to be just a guest at a wedding, not a photographer, bridesmaid or coordinator.

So see? I told you I had a good excuse to be MIA. I’ve been growing! So excited for all the change that has manifested itself this year, but I’m looking forward to writing again!

Wow, these past couple of months have been super busy! From business head shots to large family portraits, the best workshop ever and even a super fun style shoot, I have stayed busy and can, quite honestly, tell you that I have no clue where the past two months have gone. As I gear up for senior season, I’m looking forward to all the fun that will be had making memories this summer.

In less than two weeks, my sweet little girl will be 5 and it reminds me of how quickly time passes us. It’s easy to get distracted with our busy lives and forget to do things like schedule your annual portrait session. Whether you’d like to book a fun summer session, or you’re planning on holiday portraits, reserve your session today!

As of June 1st, all of my signature portrait sessions will include professional makeup, along with wardrobe styling from Jennifer at FRESH. Having your portrait made should be a fun and comfortable experience, and I want to make every effort to make it so. The better you feel, the better your images will turn out!

Yes, I’ve been on a writing hiatus the past few months. Not because I haven’t wanted to write, but more that I’ve been so stinkin’ busy, I haven’t had either the time or brain power to eke out a post. I still owe you posts from my Christmas shoot in the desert (yes, I realize it’s almost St. Patrick’s Day, but I guarantee at least ONE of you reading this still has your tree up.), my wedding shoot in Michigan, four sets of headshots and a family session. Oh, and I still have to tell you all the hairy details of the CRAVE launch party, as well as give you the goods on the promo I’ll be doing for the NCAA tournament play. And I’m sure you want to hear about how much I’ve been knitting.

Oh, and that I’ve written a guest post for Reverie that will be appearing later this month. I’ll definitely be telling you about the great people I’ve been meeting and why I love social media. And, ahhh, yes, I’m moving back to Denver.

So yes, there is lots to come. And I promise, it’s all been worth the wait.
