Genevieve & Joel made the trek from Canada to come spend the day with us as we dug into their business, their art and everything in between for a mentor session. Genevieve & Joel are such a talented couple who love life and people. When I asked Genevieve why she is a photographer her answer was as simple as, I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else. With an answer like that, I just knew that these two had roots that go deeper than "being my own boss" or "having a more flexible schedule." With passion and purpose behind you I think you can do anything you put your mind to. These are people who are going places. They have passion, talent and a great foundation. Already I have seen these two take the things that we talked about and apply them to their business and I am SO SO proud of them. We talked a lot about creating a brand that is un-apologetically them. When they first came to us they had a totally different web site that felt, dark, heavy and serious. When you meet these two they are anything but that. They are fresh, open, charming, hip, fun and so endearing. Their new site and brand does a much better job reflecting that wonderful bright and charming spirit! 

We cannot wait to see where these two go with their art and business. As I watched Genevieve & Joel interact with the couple that we had on their shoot I kept smiling to myself because they reminded me a bit of us. Joel is a natural born entrepreneur, much like Chris, and Genevieve is a dreamer who loves life and takes it all in. I am so proud of these two and we feel so blessed to have played even a small roll in their journey. Here are just a few frames from our 15 minute mini shoot together. enjoy!

Also, we are so excited to be giving away one spot to our sold out workshop in Australia through Totally Rad Actions. We have narrowed down the videos (Rollie Dundee/ Laura Elle/ Tessa's video) to our top three picks and we need your votes to decide who should get the seat! Voting closes this Friday at noon! And you can vote via the below poll.

It's so nice to see Genevieve as the subject of photography. Oh the joy of raising this daughter, she is amazing and Joel a wonderful support and compliment to her. They will realize their dreams. Beautiful pictures, thank you Sarah and Chris.
