We had a great time putting together this winner’s circle photo booth for the Durango Arts Center’s Kentucky Derby Fundraiser!  We loved seeing all the ladies making a run for the roses with a fantastic hat competition, and the gentlemen looking sharp on the sidelines taking bets!  After this fabulous gathering for the fastest two minutes in sports, we all agreed on one thing: we’ll have another!

A special thanks to all of the vendors associated with this event, from the lovely backdrop of the Rochester Hotel, the delicious food provided by Mutu’s Italian Kitchen, to the superb mint juleps brought by Peach Street Distillers, this was not an event to miss!

We had a fantastic evening traveling through time and space with the Durango Discovery Museum’s steampunk-themed 2012 Spring Benefit, the Steampunk Stomp!  Between the Tesla tonics, the impromptu flash mob, and the wild cast of characters present in fabulous costume, this event stretched all of our imaginations!  We can’t wait to see what will come out of the Discovery Museum in the upcoming year, and we are definitely looking forward to next year’s benefit!

We had the fun opportunity to set up a photoshoot for Sprout, a Durango shop for unique and one of a kind children’s items and gifts. The photos turned out adorable and we were also able to give our intern, Jerrica, more shooting & post production experience. Thank you to everyone involved!
