"Stephanie Sadler is celebrating her first year in business as owner of Teal Art Gallery in Breckenridge with the opening of a show titled "one," Saturday, Dec. 12, 2009."
This wasn't your typical birthday party.
After a day on the slopes that featured unusually scarce crowds for a Saturday at Breckenridge Ski Resort, I helped my good friend Stephanie celebrate her "birthday." It's rare, to say the least, to find a 24-year-old with enough ambition to own and run her own art gallery in a resort town but then again, Stephanie is one of a kind.
On top of some wonderful new pieces, the event had all the makings of a great birthday party including friends, family, food, wine and some outstanding cupcakes that her sister made. Who knew that chocolate chip zucchini bread cupcakes would be such a hit. No birthday party is complete without a few gifts and as a small token of my appreciation for what she has been able to accomplish I wanted to make a few portraits of her.
The photo above is simple and also my favorite. I also shot a couple wider portraits that included more of the gallery but the image I chose really shows her personality more I think.
Steph had a great first year. I can only expect better things to come as she gets another 365 under her belt.
