I was trying to keep this hush-hush since it’s not a for sure thing, but what fun is that!? :-)
So the exciting not-for-sure news is: I might be followed in a new television series!
I was recently contacted by a very cool producer from a major production company (not sure if I can say which yet) out of New York (many thanks to Tracey at Your Las Vegas Wedding Concierge btw! <3) which does productions for several different TV stations including: Discovery Channel, WEtv, The History Channel, National Geographic, A&E and HGTV.
They are looking to pitch a new show to some very cool and very appropriate stations (which I also can’t name yet, but if you think about it, I’m sure you can figure some of them out) that would follow my work-flow and reveal the ins and outs of how I produce my images. All the fun, all the getting-kicked-out-of-places, crazy photo ideas and all the emotions that romance and wedding photos tend to evoke. They said they were looking for a female photographer to follow in a series. Someone young, energetic and really talented and that when they saw my work they got even more excited. After a few e-mail and phone interviews she said I was the perfect fit for the show!
Do not get your hopes up Chels.
Yes, yes I know… How many pitches and pilots make it to air? Actually I don’t know… I’m just tyring to be realistic. But let’s just dream for one shiny little moment: How great would it be to to be involved in a show like that!? I love that it’s for women since the wedding photographer industry has long been dominated by male superstars. It’s time for females to step-it-up and be counted! ;-)
So what’s next? The next step is finessing a treatment and pitching the idea to networks to see what they think.
Do not get your hopes up Chels.
Ah forget that! They said they are very positive about the potential for this show, so I’m going to just be super-excited about it for now!
Juliet - And Tracey and I will be your biggest supporters on this! Yay!
Kat Forsyth - Oooh! Of course I will never get to see it (stupid wrong continent), but you would totally kick ass! Plus I would LOVE to see how your workflow goes – I really love your PP work.
Christine - James and I will watch every episode! *happy dance* I really hope the network you guys pitch to realizes the potential for a show like yours. Go kick some Hollywood butt!
Jenn Link Photography - AWESOMESAUCE!
Dawn - That is awesome. I hope it happens for you! I might just have to get cable, finally, so I can watch it.
Oh, and if you feel the need to relive the group TTD experience for them, I’m IN!! :-D
Abigail Smith - Wow, how exciting!!!! Can’t wait to hear what happens!
Sara & Trevor Gale - Sounds exciting! I’ll keep my fingers crossed! :)
Summer Hull - Sounds totally like a show I would watch and you would be PERFECT for it! Hope it works out!
Deanna - How awesome would that be!? You totally deserve your own show!
chels - Aww, thanks so much guys!! I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed too. :) It might be a while before I hear back, but I’ll be sure to let everyone know when I do!
Jess - OMG that’s so cool! Congrats Chelsea!
Kyla - That is awesome!! How cool would that be to have your own show?!?! Sending good vibes your way in hopes it all works out! :)
Suzi @ TSL - Awww! Chelsea that is soooo fantastic!!! That would be sooooo awesome for you!
Chris - Hey that’s great Chelsea! Let me know if they need to feature a half-as-talented, low-energy, old-fart-photographer just in case they need to show some perspective, ok?
Christina - Wishing you the bestest!!! :)
Jessica B - Oh com’on. Why would anyone want to put you on a TV show? You are only the hippest wedding photographer in Las Vegas!!! Can’t wait for it to come out.
I too see the women stepping up. All the photo blogs I read are women photographers. I think we can be/are more creative and have the ability to connect better with our clients. No offense to any males out there…
