Excited to finally post this styled shoot that the incredibly talented and energetic Nicole Dominic-Pelletier produced. Fashion designer Carol Ann Wachter (Boulder) provided her new clothing collection “When Women Were Birds” and the lovely women of Denver based local band Paper Bird (Esme Patterson, Genevieve Patterson, and Sarah Shu) modeled. The imagery is being used by Paper Bird to promote their new album “Rooms” and current tour, as well as their vocal workshops for children called “Finding Your Voice” in their ongoing efforts to give back to their local community.
Paper Bird’s style of vocal harmonic indie folk/baroque pop is incredibly soothing to the soul and easily one of Denver’s best bands. Their live performances are a must see!
Here’s a few songs off their new album:

This past October a new breed of wedding showcase hit Denver like a freight train at Mile High Station. Jewels Gray’s (from Jeff & Jewels Photography) brainchild idea to bring something more creative and stylish to the wedding expo industry was a smash hit. Most wedding expos are boring, stuffy, and traditional (a reason I never was inclined to participate in them), so it was such a breath of fresh air to see an event for engaged couples to meet some of Denver’s top creative and unique vendors that provide something more than just traditional and classic themes.
The vendors were hand picked by Jewels herself (including yours truly) for their outstanding unique and offbeat creative offerings. Local designers, makeup artists, & hair stylists partnered to create vignettes such as “Pinup Rockabilly”, “Comic Book Super Hero”, and “Victorian Goth”. Foodies rejoiced with samples from incredible caterers, while florists, photographers, and mixologists put out their best work.
And as if gathering all these creatives in an amazing space wasn’t enough, the night ended with an incredible fashion show too (and what? a ZOMBIE FLASH MOB? Perfection):
