Hello and welcome to our blog and very first post! We are thrilled to have officially announced the launch of Coco Alley Photography!! EEK!! So exciting! The response we have had thus far has been overwhelming and incredibly supportive for which we are extremely grateful!

Many of our blog updates will be filled with pictures from featured sessions with our awesome clients but it is also important to us that we use this as a forum to let our readers get to know us and vice versa. So we will also be talking about other fun and informative stuff! First though, we wanted to take this opportunity to thank two wonderful ladies that were instrumental in helping us get our business organized, branded and website underway! Kristy Dickerson and Jenny Grumbling created this amazing business/home daily planner that I was lucky enough to stumble upon one night on Facebook! Don’t you just love social media! Now let me just say that this is no ordinary planner! Besides the fact that the design is GORGEOUS, (It comes in a linen bag people….just like a Louie or a Gucci! Need I say more?!) but it was created with entrepreneurs in mind to aid in organizing home tasks, goals and work life to help achieve and maintain balance! Um yes please!!! I placed my pre-order on the spot! Recognizing Kristy’s name I hopped on over to her photography website. From there I may or may not have stalked her blog a little bit (ok fine a lot). In my “research” I discovered these two also offered a business intensive workshop called Start Kickin’ Booty! Mouth open and wishing it was something within Coco Alley’s start up budget, I suddenly see a blurb about a scholarship being offered for the upcoming class! I figured it was a long shot given the insane number of followers involved but I figured what the hell a girl can dream so I hit the send button! Well guess who won baby… this girl that’s who! Everything from headshots, efficiency tip, marketing education, and lastly branding (isn’t our logo amazeballs). The workshop was an absolute blast, extremely informative and I met a group of fabulous women with amazing talent & businesses! Check out Kristy and Jenny’s sites to learn more about them, Start Kickin’ Booty or to pick up that fabulous planner!

Check back soon for the story of how we came up with our the name Coco Alley as well as a special session post you won’t want to miss!! In the meantime, check out some of the pictures from the workshop courtesy of Kristy Dickerson.- Lindsey
