MATT AND KATIE PHOTOGRAPHERS WORKSHOP

Grand Junction, Colorado.

aka Junctown.

In my eyes, not so much ” junc”, but gems.

Not so much gems that are hard and cost money (HA!), but the kind MK and J’s souls are made of…

And all those who gathered for some friendship making and picture taking.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

This post has been drafted in my head for days now, but my perfectionist side kept it there.

{That and I’d been missing my images from the workshop… small detail. hehe}

Not that I haven’t had any words to say, but because my words just might not do it justice.

So.  I’m going to keep it as simple & sweet as my prattle mouth possibly can…

I’m going to try and let the photos do the talking.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

First and foremost, my weekend in Colorado would have never happened if it weren’t for the kindness and hospitality of one, Jami Davis.

Great gal, she is.

She made this happen, not just by having the guts to email Matt and Katie photographers (complete “strangers”) months ago

to see if they would like to come all the way from Australia, to little ol’Junctown USofA and teach her a thing or two…

{Matt and Katie, being free spirited and kind, said why not.}

but by being a good friend and making good things happen so I could be there too.

My kind of peops… putting it out there and living your dreams.

{Matt and Katie… aren’t they cute?  You don’t even know how precious their love is.}

{MK doin’ their thang and doin’ it well!}

{I think Katie is checking out Matt’s bum here… good butt jeans? & The hostess with the mostest, Jami D. doin’ her thang}

So here we all were, months later, being pampered by the good graces of Jami, Matt and Katie giving 14 great gals

all the knowledge our brains could hold, and being unwittingly adored by all in the process.

You know the song, “You’ve got a way about you… don’t know what it is”…

Well that’s MK… they have a way about them-something humbling and special… that makes all those around them feel at home.

{the adorable Vanessa of Cat Mayer Studio Photography in Colorado.  It was such a treat to meet her and finally the incomparable, Cat herself.  Great gals!}

{This dress form was meticulously handcrafted with crepe paper and a beautiful vintage blouse by the awesome

Robin Brown of  TOAST Event Planning and Design.}

{I think I personally downed half of those homemade macaroons by Jami.  YUM!}

Did you say 9-6?  They said, so what.

We went until brains and bellies were about to burst, well into the crisp night.

It was more than I hoped for and worth every penny to be there.

The goodness of the middle and the end still to come…

Smiles,

Dana
