"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions." - Albert Einstein

Chatti and Matt are a photography team out of Colorado. They go by Savady Photography, so any of your Colorado Photographers out there who want to connect with a rad couple, drop them a line.. they rock. They came out to visit us in Seattle for an all day consultation. It was an absolutely PERFECT Seattle day. The sun peeking at us through the clouds, just warm enough to forget your jacket at home and enjoy a nice pot of tea. 

This day was packed full of learning and growth. In most instances, we start out our 6 or 8 hour mentor sessions with a mini shoot (30 minutes) of the photographer(s) we are working with, that is what you see here :). After our shoot with Matt and Chatti we headed to a coffee shop to chat about the dynamics of their team... what it is like to work with someone you love, work/life balance, and playing on each others strengths and leveraging those strengths for good. From there we talked about their brand and really dug into the different parts of their business that they wanted guidance in. Most notably, workflow, to help with the work/life balance piece. Mid afternoon we went out on a shoot with an awesome couple (Rose and Matt) I'll post their shoot tomorrow.  The shoots are a great way that we can all work together on a shoot, chat through lighting techniques, posing, working with our subjects and honing in on and defining each persons individual style. 

The biggest thing Chris and I wanted for Matt and Chatti was for them to have a mindshift about who they are and the things they are capable of. It was so absolutely encouraging to see Chatti's tweet later in the evening saying that during their mentor session they had (and I quote) a mind-shift explosion! ;) There is no greater feeling than to know that we played a small part in empowering someone to take the next step.... to trust their gut... to make them aware of the greatness within them.

Sarah and Chris,

You two are one of the most amazing people we have met. We are so happy that we invested in you and in turn invested in us. You have given us the confidence to proceed in our business. We won't forget the power of positive thinking and the rule of attraction. = )
