Thank you….those words do not seem nearly adequate to express the depth of my gratitude to everyone who participated in Girls Night Out last week – guests and vendors!  It was such a fun evening of socializing, sharing, shopping and GIVING!  We were able to raise a good donation for Family Tree (www.thefamilytree.org) to support victims of domestic violence, child abuse, and homelessness…AND….we are looking at doing it again in October!!

While I’m certain that I will, in my unfortunate brain fog, neglect to thanks someone personally – my sincere appreciation goes out to our vendors and those who provided raffle items:

Just a quick few photos to celebrate the evening!

So – best laid plans and all – we had originally planned a “April Showers” Express Session for next month, but life happened and our Saturdays are filling with High School Senior Models….so we decided to simply make the whole month Express Session month.   What does that mean exactly?  It means anything goes and you can book an express session for any Wed-Friday the entire month of April – no theme.  All of our standard “rules” apply to these sessions but what a great opportunity to get in for some fun spring photos!  Call the studio today!  303.525.1717

Well here we are once again at the beginning of a new year – and here I am once again committing to keep my blog updated.  I know I promised the same thing last year (and failed miserably) but I now have it in Sharpie on my calendar…..and my lovely staff have vowed to keep me on track.  So….Cada and Katie, stay on me!

2010 is shaping up to be an exciting year!

We have a number of fun express sessions planned, a couple of big charity events, and a few surprises up our sleeves!

So grab your calendar and take note!

I figured while I was posting urban babies, I should post little miss A.  Love her!!!!!

OK…..crazy people (and you know who you are)…..you can now stop bugging me to post photos!  This, my friends, is our zany urban LoDo Loft.  It is FUN, functional, fabulous….If you have not yet had a Contemporary Expressions session this year, what are you waiting for?   To say that we love this space is an understatement.  It is so much more fitting for our style and personality – and who can resist roof access with a view of Downtown AND the mountains.  Our seniors are LOVING the variety and “edge” we get from the surrounding streets and alleys and …… speaking of alleys…..I’ll be posting some of our more recent Urban Kids sessions soon – it is so fun seeing those cute, innocent faces in our funky alleys!  So….here it is:
