**So sorry this is a bit later than I had planned getting out to you.  Halloween is a hectic and very fun and exciting day when you have four kids!  I just got home and got them all to bed and I 've finally had a chance to sit down.

Krista Guenin.

I'm excited to announce that Krista Guenin will receive the Davina $500 Scholarship for the workshop education of her choice.  I was so moved by the efforts that she has already made in her life to give to others of her time and energy.  It's obvious that her life influences others in a very positive way.  She is ambitious yet gentle and full of heartfelt passion yet knowledgeable about the importance of business skills. I found out that she is currently in Zimbabwe and so I don't think she'll even know that she is the recipient until November 7th when she returns to the states.  

Congratulations, Krista!

**As I read through all of the applicants' stories I really wanted to reach out to each of you and tell you that there are wonderful albeit difficult experiences ahead of you.  I also really felt that I wanted to give more and so I'm doing something that I didn't originally plan to do.  I'm also awarding a $500 scholarship to someone attending Love Affair and I'm also giving  a mentoring session to another person.

All of these decisions were so difficult to make.  People from around the world applied as well as 17-year old girls, grandmas, single moms, moms raising 5 kids, talented and amazing men, 19 year old men with, women who are down on their luck, and so much more.  Everyone of you told me how much you need this scholarship and I absolutely believe you.  I hope that you'll keep plugging along and working toward your dream.  You have all made sacrifices and dreamed big.  Thank you for sharing them with me. 

$500 Love Affair Scholarship.

Dinea Norrell.  This woman has been through so much and has done it all as a single mom.  Her life is a testament to living strong and pursuing your dreams.  I'm excited that she is receiving the $500 Love Affair Scholarship. 

Congratulations, Dinea!

Mentoring Session with Davina.

Mandy Hank.  She sounds way too much like me a few years ago...from being passionate to being burnt out to loving photography-eating, drinking, and sleeping it to feeling like a failure mom.  I just wanted to be able to reach out and hug her and tell her that everything is going to work out.  It really is possible to find a life and be the creative person that she is.

Scholarship recipients please contact me as soon as possible to get details for your scholarship information.

Congratulations to all of you and thank you so much to every one who shared yourselves with me.  I'm so grateful.

 

Happiness,

Davina

 

new. LIFE. 

 

 

Scholarship Announcement Coming!

Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 at 10:57AM by Registered CommenterDavina | CommentsPost a Comment

I have a feeling that there are a LOT of people checking the blog for the scholarship announcement.  I've been completely overwhelmed as I've read through the VERY many applications through out this entire month.  It's been a very big project and an extremely difficult decision to make to be sure.  It took me a long time to narrow them down to 10 and then a long time to narrow it down again.  It's been a much more difficult process than I thought. There are so many people that are in need of a scholarship and so many people that were in the exact place I was in years ago.  I so wish that I could give a scholarship to each one of you.  You've shared your stories and your lives were opened to me and I so appreciate you for giving that to me.

I totally don't mean to make the wait more agonizing, I'm just finishing up a few details and will post the recipient by the end of the day.

Happiness,

Davina

The Best Show in Utah.

I love The Gateway Wedding Show.  It is different from any other show in Utah because they have wedding gown designers who are famous around the world who come to the Wasatch Front just for this show.  This time couture designer Augusta Jones will be at The Gateway.  You won't want to miss these gorgeous dresses brought to Utah by Hilary at Alta Moda.

Make sure to stop in and see us there!  The show is this Saturday, October 27th from 10am-4pm.  We've made some fun changes to our booth and we'd love to hear what you think!  If you're looking for fresh, real images with energy, fun, and passion make sure to come by we'd love to chat.  See you Saturday!

fun. LIFE.

We're having a really great PUG meeting this month.  I've been amazed at the response we've gotten and the amount of rsvps!  This is obviously a topic that people want to learn more about. 

Is Lightroom a mystery to  you?

On October 29th we're going to be having Tim Uhl, Jason McGrew, and Michael Tallman give us an overview and tutorial.  If you're a professional photographer and interested in attending please contact us at the studio and we'll send you all the details!

Studio: davina@davinafear.com

REMINDER: For those who are already planning to attend remember to download the latest demo version of Lightroom so that you'll be able to do some hands on learning.  Don't forget your laptop!

 

learn. LIFE.

 

Happy Anniversary!

Shanda and Randy.

These two are an amazing couple, they go completely out of their way for each other and out of their way to get what they really want.  I've been impressed with them since the day I met them.  I'm still impressed with the way they are so patient with each other and the way they can laugh through the curve balls that life throws their way sometimes.  I love Shanda and Randy!

I have to say that I really love having Shanda around!  She has been my intern for many months now and I've been thrilled to have her as part of the Davina Studio.  She is so intent on learning and has been so committed to the quality, energy, and passion of our studio.  She has been a blessing.  It's been wonderful having her work with us. 

I hope you had a wonderful anniversary get away this last week!

love. LIFE.
