We had a vision that was out-of-the-box and we needed lots of help!
Weeks before the shoot we met the lovely couple who ran the chapel in Allenspark, Colorado (read more about this location here). We presented our idea for our upcoming photoshoot and made a small donation. With their blessing, we set a date and started conceptualizing.
All of that being said, we were just collecting information and inspiration at this point. We still needed our client to jump on board and trust our creative vision. We really take all that we’ve learned about our client and build the plan around showcasing their strengths. Our goal is that we become great guides in a day that highlights, empowers and brings belly laughs to the hero of the day, our senior.
Being creative is a practiced talent.

Music and laughter in the air help us “get-in-state”. In order to pull off the vision board we’d created, we had to get crafty! For us, the process usually starts on Pinterest and leads us to Hobby Lobby. This is all part of the senior experience with Chy Creative. We love to add a surprise factor that WOWS! Check out some of the behind-the-scenes crafting!

Making the plan. Creating a headpiece out of zipties. Creating a headpiece out of napkin rings. Grab a cheap headband, wire and some pliers to get the job done. Creating together is motivating. True and tested!
Covid-19 was an interesting time for all of us. For our seniors who were pampered with hair and make-up, we were extra cautious about safety. Our professionals wore masks and everything in the studio was sanitized before and after our guests arrived.
A lot of factors need to fall into place to maximize the vision: weather, schedules, hair and make-up, wardrobe and travel-time are just a few.
Deep breath….
It’s go-time!
