Thank You All | 2010 Contemporary Expressions Clients ROCKED
January 13, 2011 – 11:05 am
Yippee – the “box guy” (as G. calls Mr. UPS) arrived at my house yesterday with a wonderful package – our 2010 Thank You gifts for our amazing clients! I can’t wait for everyone to get their calendars. It’s always a fun project putting our thank you’s together in January – looking back through all of the previous year’s images – seeing how much these babies have grown since we first started photographing them. It makes my heart happy to know that we helped capture so many memories last year, and I’m honored that so many of you chose US for this amazing opportunity. Just a couple more things to add to these envelopes (we can’t show you the whole surprise now can we) and they are off to the Post Office!!! Thank you again, to all of our wonderful 2010 clients, for making it another year to remember!!
Loft Life | Behind the Scenes
January 9, 2011 – 8:21 pm
I kept thinking, last year, that it would be really fun to do a “behind the scenes” gallery – and (obviously) never got around to it. See, that goes back to my first post of the year….those resolutions that never happened. Well, there’s no time like the present, right. You see, during sessions, I inevitably get “those shots” – you know, the silly faces, the peeing babies, the nose picking – shots that aren’t necessarily keepers for mom and dad (although, sometimes they are!!) but that I love because they show what really happens at photo sessions. So, to kick off our, hopefully recurring, behind the scenes series, we have the lovely Kendall. I called Kendall’s mommy to ask if we could use her for our Full of Love promotion shots. This little miss honestly had all four of us belly laughing with her expressions. Here are a few of my favorite outtakes from the shoot…this first one CRACKS ME UP!!!!
Hungry babies are not happy babies……
Loft Life | Katie
January 8, 2011 – 3:45 pm
How do you define “sanity” – for me it is easy – her name is Katie, and she’s my amazing studio manager, retouch artist, sounding board, sales guru, confidant, and friend. I could pretend to find the words to say how grateful I am for her, but they would fall short on so many levels. She truly is my sanity…without her you better believe I’d lose my mind. I realized that although many of you have met her or heard her vibrant voice on the phone, I have never really formally introduced her….so, here she is – the beautiful, extraordinary, should be sainted for being able to deal with my zaniness every day, Katie!!
2011 Events | Promotions
January 4, 2011 – 10:21 am
Grab your planner….this year is going to be PACKED with fun events, express sessions, charity fundraisers, and general mayhem!
Express Sessions - EVERY Month!! These were too fun last year not to make them a monthly thing. For more information on Express Sessions, how they work, the special packages available, and why they are a great way to try out the studio or get photos of your every growing little ones more often, click here.
Facebook Facelifts - OK, let’s face it people, we’re addicted….so why not have a smokin’ updated Facebook photo?! Easy peasy – $25 gets you THREE web sized images to post on FB!!
Mini Sessions – Somewhere in between a full session and an express session, mini sessions are one hour themed sessions with predesigned packages and limited poses to choose from. This year we’ll be doing Boudior Minis (January – just in time to surprise him for Valentines Day), Mom & Me (May), Daddy Days (June), and Holiday (October/November). Details for each mini will be posted here on the blog.
X-mas in July – four weeks, for specials.
Dog Days of Summer – Express Sessions for our favorite furry friends – with a twist. 1/2 of each session fee will be donated to Lifeline Puppy Rescue and a free gift will be yours if you donate a 10 lb bag of dog food!!
An “As Yet to be Named” Kids Event – April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, so on the 16th we will be hosting a Kids fundraising event similar to our Girls Night Out event to raise awareness and funds for Family Tree (our very favoritest charity in the whole world). There will be shopping, crafts and games for the kiddos, raffle prizes, and a whole lot of fun!
Girl’s Night Out - October 13th – Our annual fundraiser to spread awareness of Domestic Violence and once again help out our friends at Family Tree
And who knows what else we’ll come up with as the year progresses!!!
EVENTS: Girls Night Out – October 21st
October 14, 2010 – 8:35 am
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”
Girls Night Out: This THURSDAY, 4-8PM
April 27, 2010 – 9:23 am
Just a reminder that our fabulous Girls Night Out event to benefit Family Tree (www.thefamilytree.org) is THIS THURSDAY night from 4-8pm. We have amazing raffle gifts, yummy food, and shopping with some of the best vendors in Denver. If that isn’t enough to get you motivated — proceeds from raffle and drink tickets will benefit Family Tree – a local non profit dedicated to providing support and safety to victims of domestic violence, child abuse, and homelessness! We hope to see you Thursday!!!!

Just a little snapshot of what we did in Janurary. Check out all these cute kiddos we had in the loft.
Let It Snow – Holiday Express Sessions
November 15, 2009 – 8:15 pm
We had such a blast shooting the “promo” photos for this Express Series….I can’t wait to shoot the “real” ones! Get on the phone, folks, these sessions are going to fill FAST!!! We will not be accepting sessions for holiday cards after the 20th so this is your last opportunity to get those holiday card photos. We can’t wait to see you all!!!
Peek-a-Boo: Urban Baby
June 4, 2009 – 8:46 am
I mentioned in a previous post that I am absolutely loving the texture and color of the alleys around the Loft. I especially love the dichotomy of a fresh new baby in the urban grunge! It isn’t for everyone….but little K’s mommy loved the idea. We had so much fun!
