Who doesn’t love a well crafted bevvie? I adore the garnishments, the classic stemware, the tinkling ice and then savoring how every little detail comes together in that first sip… On Monday evening people gathered at the historic Capitol Theater to celebrate the repeal of prohibition. It was a step back into the yesteryears–with attendees dressed to the nines, bartenders worked quickly to keep the crowd happily imbibing as a silent film played in the back. The Greta Jane quartet kept the swooning mood alive and Tush Burlesque performers scandalously entertained the rowdy patrons as the entertainment drew to a close. It was the most fun I’ve had on a Monday night in ages! Here are a few images from the evening. The full collection of photo booth images will be posted on the Olympia Film Society’s Facebook page, so make sure to stop by and “Like” both Cortney Kelley Photography and Olympia Film Society on Facebook. In fact, maybe you should pour yourself a cocktail first… Cheers! Cortney

Super Sweet Life
I am loving the busy senior season, the autumn wedding season, the back to school schedules, heartier fall fare and SOUPS! This is absolutely one of the busiest times of the year for me. To keep creative, it’s important to rev up that inspiration with special projects, something that pushes you. That’s why I was thrilled to collaborate with Erin Gillet of http://www.shopsweetlife.com/ Sweet Life Boutique in Olympia this week, creating her fall/holiday look book. We had a fabulous model, Nani Poonani of the Tush Burlesque troupe–she was completely adorable and such fun to work with. Make your way into Sweet Life to get the look book, which will be available in a few weeks– but since I know waiting is difficult, here is just a little taste of the goodies you can find in her store. Ridiculously beautiful clothes! I wouldn’t wait to outfit yourself in holiday finery though–she carries limited selection–which is why you’re guaranteed to have unique pieces. But don’t wait!
