Vegas Adventures… CreativeLive, WPPI and Curlee Bikini

Leave a reply

Last week I had the amazing experience of immersing myself in the photographic industry on various levels.  I was an audience member of Sue Bryce’s creativeLive 28 Days, attended WPPI–great courses and tradeshow, and had the opportunity to photograph new swimsuits for Curlee Bikini: poolside, in a hotel suite and in the desert. I loved spending time with my darling brother Joshua, his talented love Mallory (Curlee Bikini owner/designer) and good friend Allison, being roomies for the week.  I’ve been home for a couple of days but still feel exhausted. What the heck?  Maybe it’s the mountain of emails and phone messages I returned to…  I’m slowly making my way through them : )  Here’s a fun little video slideshow I made of some fave Curlee Bikini images. http://animoto.com/play/d5Tj2QJ30OFzM1YkBN7F6g

Olympia Downtown Association – – {Girls Night Out Fashion Show}

Leave a reply

I love organizing events!   There is such amazing synergy that happens when creatives come together. Last Friday, the Olympia Downtown Association had their annual Girls Night Out shopping event.  Downtown Olympia was radiant with gorgeous weather and happy shoppers, most wearing pink and sporting their bright pink event bags.  Great deals on shopping, dining and services were to be found all throughout downtown.

Along with the help of my fabulous Evergreen State College intern, Gabriela, we hosted a fashion show highlighting the extraordinary clothing and shoes of the boutiques in downtown.  We had a great team of stylists from Alchemy Salon and Spa http://www.alchemy-salonspa.com/, adorably delicious cupcakes and cookie treats from Mela’s Minis https://www.facebook.com/MelasMinis, men’s fashion from G. Miller http://gmillerolympia.com/, Vivala www.vivalastore.com/, Belleza Ropa www.bellezaropa.com/, Sweet Life  www.shopsweetlife.com/ Hot Toddy  www.hottoddyolympia.com/ Bonaventure Shoes www.bonaventureshoes.com/ Metro  www.metropiercing.com/ Jinjor  www.facebook.com/pages/JINJOR-BOUTIQUE/347144831293 and some refreshing sparkling pear and apples wines from the Olympic Wine Merchant provided by Nathan Peppin of Peppin Photography, my studio mate.

Here’s the final runway walk of all the models.  All of these looks can be found in downtown Olympia boutiques.  Holler if you need to know where a specific look is from and we will happily direct you to that boutique!
