MATILDA JANE TRUNK SHOW

THURSDAY, MAY 31st from 5:30 – 8:00 p.m.

Cat Mayer Studio – 3360 Star Court in Grand Junction 

Who doesn’t love a compliment? It can make your day.

We love Matilda Jane! Denise and the gals at 435 make clothes for girls that are perfect for everything from sharing an ice cream with a friend, to catching frogs, to cuddling up with a book. Matilda Jane is all about making a girl feel proud about who she is and how she looks. We are big fans!

To celebrate Matilda Jane’s fab new Serendipity line, we’re hosting a trunk show here at the studio. Get your best girlfriends and daughters together, come for some after-work food and drink, and get your shop on. We’ll have some nibbles and drinks, and fun for the girls.

We will also be giving away these fun prizes to a few lucky attendees!

:: A $100 Matilda Jane gift card ::

:: A $50 Matilda Jane gift card ::

:: One item of clothing of your choice from the trunk, care of our Colorado Trunk Keeper Jami Yinger ::

So grab your girls and head on over to the studio for some fun! We can’t wait to see you.

    When Jennifer’s mom Sue and aunt Billie met with us late last summer, we just knew it was going to be a fun wedding. These two ladies care for Jennifer so much, and simply love Stephen. They wanted to give their girl a beautiful wedding experience, and they did. Jennifer and Stephen’s wedding was such a happy occasion for their family and guests. It was such an honor to experience it with them, and capture these photographs of their love for each other.

    Jennifer and Stephen… it was lovely to spend the day with you and your loved ones, and photograph the love you share. We had a ball, and wish you every happiness.

    Hope Carlton of A Perfect Touch took care of all the ladies with her fabulous makeup. She is so talented and keeps our brides looking camera ready late into the night.

    We loved these bridal portraits of Jennifer taken at Canyon View Vineyard Church.

    Stephen was so happy to see his bride. If you think the pastor looks familiar, you’re right. DJ is Vanessa’s husband, a pastor at Canyon View Vineyard Church.

    Jennifer and Stephen’s godson just couldn’t stay awake for the vows. So sweet.

    Vanessa grabbed this beautiful shot of the couple walking down the aisle. I never get tired of seeing a couple so happy after their wedding. It’s a magical moment.

    It was a rainy day, and because the vineyard at Two Rivers Winery was muddy and not yet green, we ventured to a nearby drive for some private portraits of the happy couple. Even though it rained all day, the sun came out for our 20-minute portrait session!

    Welcome to the new Cat Mayer Studio web site! This has been a labor of love for us, and we hope you love our new home as much as we do.

    In addition to our lovely blog where we like to post our new shoots every few days, we also have a lovely web site too, complete with kind words from our clients, portfolios (some still coming), and a fun little video that talks a bit about who Vanessa and I are , and why we love what we do in one of the most beautiful places on earth — the Colorado mountains.

    We like to make sure our visitors always have something new to see here, and we think our new site will be even more fun to check in on from time to time. If you are a new visitor, we invite you to grab a cup of joe and stay a while. There are lots of places to get lost in this new online home of ours!

    A few thank yous…

    Special thanks to Ross, Alina and Alex at Flosites for helping us make our dream a reality! They were not only incrrrrredibly patient, but were able to make our vision come to life.

    Huge thanks to Wade Yamaguchi at YamoFilms, the talented filmmaker who created the lovely video you see on our new site. Also Jami Davis at An Open Field for her cinematography and assistance. We love it and we love you!

    And most of all thank you to our readers, for checking in on our work, scheduling your weddings and portrait sessions with us, and for sharing your lives with us and our readers here. We absolutely love photographing, and we are beyond blessed to get to do it for you everyday.

    We are so excited for the year ahead!

    Cheers xoxoxo

    PS. As with all sites, there are a few kinks we are working out. Thanks for your patience!

      We just love these new little accordion albums. We call them Boast Books!

      These little sweeties are perfect for a purse and pretty enough for a bookshelf. They are wrapped in your choice of timeless fabric or leather, and printed on archival paper with beautiful inks. They hold 10 of your favorite photos from your wedding or portrait session. A lovely way to keep favorite photos closeby and and ready to share.

      We have our lovely friends at Pinhole Pro print these little books for us. Their printed press products are to die for. We love them!
