It’s officially been about ten years since I have taken the time to sit down and start writing my blog.  I started blogging back in 2010 and truly enjoyed the opportunity to share my “on goings” and get to know other bloggers and what they were up to.  Some of the people I met through blogging have become really good friends.  Blogging also got me to where I am now ….. “A very busy interior photographer”  As I became more and more busy, I lost the time to blog, once a week.  The pressure of always trying to fit in time to blog became more of an annoyance, rather than a creative outlet.  I wasn’t the only one ….. all of my fellow bloggers seemed to fall by the wayside also.  It was a bit comforting to know I wasn’t the only one!!!

So with that all said, I feel like I’ve been around the world and back since I sat down and wrote a blurb or two.  I’m certainly not putting too much pressure on myself to keep this up but at least I’ll try.  Matter of fact, this was something that I brought up in my first “Creative Gathering” chat that I held this past weekend.  The challenge was to figure out how to tackle adding a new blog post and newsletter, in hopes of having another outlet to share my thoughts, photos and just about anything else I think that people would perhaps get inspired by.  So here we are, I think I’m doing it!!!

It’s been a week since Spring arrived and I think this time of year always defines “new beginnings”   So, here I am making time to pivot from being too busy doing things that don’t matter to me, to making time to do things that DO matter to me.  Blogging was always a creative outlet for me and I want to bring it back in my life …… we’ll see what path it takes me but I do have hope that perhaps it will take me down another path of finding more creative direction.

Please leave a comment, I’d love to hear from you!

Saturday, July 16th, 2022, 1PM – 7PM
Saturday, August 6th, 2022, 1PM – 7PM

Buy your ticket here

“All things pretty” at a West Coast beach house location, near Vancouver, BC. Get Inspired with like minded creatives in these hands on styling workshops. The six hour events give attendees the opportunity to enjoy a unique and inspiring experience using an impressive amount of styling props, dishes, textiles, food and florals to create their own vignettes.

These styling workshops are all about finding your “creative eye” and capturing it on either a camera, smart phone or better yet, both. Tracey’s goal for these workshops is to shed some light into what she does in order to create the vignettes that you see in her work. Heavy emphasis is on styling, however, there will be “light” guidance available throughout the day for photography tips to those that want the best chance to capture their creation and need a little boost to get there.

Lite bites and refreshments will be available during the workshops.

Investment: $475.00 + GST 

*Price reflects flowers, props, food, refreshments, venders, assistants and is respectively held at Tracey’s own private residence.

*Limited number of seats available.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
