Hello Ladies!!!!!!!!!

It is time for Girl’s Night Out part deux! After our first GNO event in April, the amazing people at Family Tree asked us if we would host a second event this month since October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. We, of course, replied with an emphatic YES!!! So, here it is, our second GNO fundraiser event to benefit Family Tree

WHEN: Thursday, October 21st – 4-8pm

WHERE: The Loft – 1320 27th Street (corner of 27th and Larimer)

WHO: Anyone and Everyone!

WHAT: A fun evening of shopping —- we have a number of fabulous local vendors — snacking, socializing, and sharing!! There is NO FEE to attend the event – we will be selling raffle tickets and drink tickets that evening with all proceeds going to Family Tree. Each vendor has also graciously agreed to donate 10% of the evening’s sales to Family Tree.

Come out and help us raise funding and awareness for this fabulous organization.

In the words of Family Tree……………………………………… “Be the Voice”

Giving Back: Dog Days of Summer to Benefit Lifeline Puppy Rescue

As many of you know, we adopted a puppy recently (see exhibit A below) and she has stolen our hearts…and eaten our shoes…..and pillows….and wall….. And while I have wanted to do a doggy promotion forever, it seems even more fitting now that we are doggy parents ourselves.

What better way to celebrate the “Dog Days of Summer” than with doggy photos. It’s time for our four legged friends to get thier close-ups. Better yet, we are donating $25 from every session to Lifeline Puppy Rescue to help them continue the wonderful job they do. Established in 1993, Lifeline has adopted almost 20,000 puppies to families across the Rocky Mountain Region, Kansas, Texas, and New Mexico.

So fluff Fido’s fur….and give us a call (303.525.1717) to secure your slot —- these sessions WILL fill fast! We can’t wait to see you and your furry friends!

Flashes of Hope

Last week I was humbled, inspired, and blessed – I was asked to shoot for Flashes of Hope at the Children’s Hospital. Flashes of Hope is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating powerful uplifting portraits of children fighting cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

I arrived at the hospital not knowing entirely what to expect, a little anxious, and overwhelmed with a desire to give these children and families beautiful portraits celebrating life, courage, dignity, and, yes, hope! To say that I was awed by these kids is a tremendous understatement. Each and every one was remarkable beyond words. In all sincerity, I left that afternoon a better person that I arrived – and touched by the grace of thirteen beautiful children!
