Shine, Stories, and New Seasons
October has been one of those beautifully full months that reminds me why I love what I do: the people, the artistry, and the creative energy that flows when community comes together. From our Sparkle Bar at the Spotlight Soirée to family photos with one of my favorite photographers, and even a new course launch for creatives, it’s been a month of connection, inspiration, and new beginnings.
Here’s a little look at what’s been lighting me up lately.
Spotlight Soirée and the Sparkle Bar
We brought our Sparkle Bar to the Spotlight Soirée this month, and it was everything I hoped it would be: a space where beauty met celebration. Watching guests light up as they added a touch of shimmer before heading back to the dance floor reminded me how much I love these moments of transformation and confidence.
The best part? We’re now offering the Sparkle Bar experience for private bookings. Whether it’s a company party, launch event, or celebration with your favorite people, it’s a fun and memorable way to add a little extra excitement to your night.
Family Photos with Arlene Chambers
This year, I had the joy of working with Arlene Chambers for our family photos, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Arlene has a way of capturing those in-between moments, the laughter, the tenderness, the way light hits just right, that make photos feel alive and honest.
If you’re planning your own session, I can’t recommend booking professional hair and makeup enough. It’s not just about looking polished; it’s about feeling confident and at ease so you can be fully present. We offer photo-ready beauty services that help your natural features shine while still feeling like you.
The Ultimate Wedding Photography Blueprint
For my photographer friends, Arlene has also launched something truly special: The Ultimate Wedding Photography Blueprint: Stress-Free Weddings & Clients for Life.
This isn’t just a photography course. It’s a complete, step-by-step system designed to help photographers approach wedding days with confidence, organization, and ease. Arlene built it for photographers who’ve avoided weddings not because they lack talent, but because the pressure felt overwhelming.
Inside, she shares everything from her signature wedding day flow and repeatable client process to templates, shot lists, and the exact relationship-building strategies that have kept her business thriving for years. It’s thoughtful, generous, and so needed in this industry.
If you’ve been wanting to build a steady, fulfilling photography business, this might be the roadmap you’ve been waiting for.

Coachella Weekend One Tickets Available
This next part is a little bittersweet. I have two Coachella Weekend One tickets available. I won’t be able to attend this year, but if you’ve been dreaming of the festival experience (especially if you’re a Bieber fan), it’s a great opportunity.
Send me a message if you’re interested. I’d love for them to go to someone who will soak up every bit of it.
Finding Gratitude in the Busy Season
As we step deeper into fall and the year begins to wind down, I’m feeling so thankful for the people who trust us with their special moments, for the artists and entrepreneurs who inspire me daily, and for this creative community that continues to grow in such meaningful ways.
Here’s to the beauty of what’s next: the projects we haven’t yet imagined, the connections waiting to be made, and the stories still to be told.
Until next time,
Michelle
