I would like to properly introduce you to my friend Meg.  
​I'm so proud of her for taking the steps to pursue her own passion for photography.  Her talent is undeniable, and I think you will love her work as much as I do!

Images from Meg at our first styled session - boudoir set.
Meg will be joining us again for our second Styled Session - Cozy Couple;
​as our lead photographer. 

Our Cozy Couple session is NOW FULL!!  
Be sure to watch for more dates being announced this winter/spring for wedding styled sessions and more intimate/couple sessions.

We have some amazing vendors on board for our next few workshops!
I truly believe everyone in this industry has something to offer, and we love when past attendees want to be involved in the next workshops!

I have opened up applications to be part of our design teams...so we can share the love and get some of our newer vendors involved in styled shoots too!!
Be sure to send us an application if you have attended one or more of our workshops in the past.  We would love to have you be part of what we do!

~ attendees & design teams from previous workshops ~

Please keep in mind that each vendor is chosen for their particular talent, and style...and to each shoot we design, we have different styles and themes.  
If you do not get chosen for one, please know, its because we have a
different one in mind for your particular talents!!  
Our aim is to have more hands on styling at each event, more time for portfolio building for all who attend, and that means more vendors involved in design teams.  There will be plenty of opportunity to come!

From our past workshops, and styled sessions, many of our attendees have had a chance to network, and grow their business simply by meeting new industry friends!  And many have gone on to join design teams with us for workshops, and styled shoots outside of the workshop schedule as well!

If you have had the opportunity to join us, please take a moment to fill out the
survey form, so we can better understand what it is you want to learn,
what you want to experience, and if being part of our design team is something you are interested in.  

Robin will be with us as the beauty vendor for our models hair and
​makeup styles & also to share her expertise on using styled shoots as a
means of growing Avenue Beauty.

Our day began with a beautiful hot beverage bar including creamy hot chocolate with home made maple marshmallows, Calgary Heritage Roasters Coffee, and tea; and super tasty morning pastries!
As our attendees arrived, they were able to get cozy in our cuddle corner we filled with holiday pillows and warm blankets, and get to know the other attendees.
Our styling stations were all set with a styling board, December calendar, fresh greens, styling blocks, and a special gift for each!
Our friend Tavia got us started with a quick tutorial on her own styling board, teaching us how to make our designs our own!  
Our attendees were able to pick pieces from our styling bar to help complete their flat lay designs.  We had lots of holiday decor, and of course our maker friends hooked us up with some fantastic holiday garlands, cards, tags, and ornaments.  
We were able to plan and design our own boards, work together, and
even had a fun challenge to complete with teams!!
Our holiday lunch was filled with comfort food!  What a lovely way to enjoy lunch with everyone at our holiday styled table.  
We are so thankful to have Melanie join us and take photos of everyone's designs, and some fun behind the scenes as well!
