Well Hello There Spring!

Well hello there ~

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!

Some Sweet Notes

The workshop was everything that I hoped it would be and more. I, (well I believe lots of people do) get stuck in the daily grind and rarely take breaks just to be creative and surround ourselves by inspiring like-minded individuals from different walks of life and your workshop was the perfect source of ‘creative refueling’.

The biggest takeaway that I found was layers are everything and to not overthink things. Styling is sometimes perfectly imperfect and that was a great reminder. I also loved the different types of women who were drawn to your program, I learned a lot about each of them and have established a couple of great contacts through your ‘cross pollination’ of creatives.

I have admired Tracey’s effortless and timeless style for years-so much so that I flew in from London, Ontario to attend her workshop! Tracey welcomed all her Attendees into her home with open arms and a warm heart.

Throughout the day We were introduced to numerous vignettes of props and fresh flowers, each station more gorgeous than the next!! As artists, we were free to roam and get creative with our content creation, all the while
Tracy was only a few steps away To offer knowledge and make you think outside the box.

This past weekend on my blog, I did a little review of my favourite moments of 2019. Taking part in this Photography and Styling Workshop with @tracey_ayton was the top of my list. Being surrounded by beautiful flowers, on a farm, with my camera is pretty much my perfect way to spend a day!

Last week had me back in Vancouver for two polar opposite events. One was to say goodbye to an old childhood friend who passed away way too young, the other was to attend a workshop with a photographer and stylist who I’ve admired for years. Tracey Ayton is one of those talented people who is always the photographer in my favorite
glossy Canadian interior design magazines. Timing was on my side and it allowed me to spend a fabulous day with her and two other creatives in her beautiful west coast seaside home. As you can see, every detail in her home is thought out to precision. (More images on my blog). The only regret is that I didn’t meet her insta-famous dog,
Frankie!

A SPRING STYLING WORKSHOP WITH TRACEY AYTON

Saturday, May 6th, 2023
1 PM – 6PM PDT

Spend a Spring afternoon styling “all things pretty” with interior, food and lifestyle photographer, Tracey Ayton at a West Coast beach house location, near Vancouver, BC. Get Inspired with like minded creatives in this hands on styling workshop. The 5 hour event gives 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.

This styling workshop is all about finding your “creative eye” and capturing it on either a camera, smart phone or better yet, both. Tracey’s goal for this workshop 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 to those that want the best chance to capture their creation and need a little boost to get there.

Light bites and refreshments will be available.
