Introducing the NEW Making Brands Happen!

One year ago today, Emily and I were in Los Angeles with Gina on the Making Things Happen Tour. We were about to head to Maui where we would soon meet our dear friend, Natalie Norton. The four of us became best friends over this last incredible year, traveling the country to inspire creatives to take action on their dreams. Oh, what a blessed year it has been!

On that plane ride to Maui, Emily and I talked about our passion for helping budding business owners make big things happen. We have both taken huge risks in our own lives to live out our passions and have come to see the power of stepping into fear instead of away from it.

Our story is unique, but we know full well - and have seen in the over 500+ Making Things Happen alumni - that anyone can realize dreams they never thought possible… with the right powerful tools. We’re here to give you those tools. Making Brands Happen was born out of a desire to help you realize your full potential. This work makes our hearts sing!

It’s our mission in life to empower creatives to live their best lives and take their businesses to the next level with authenticity, heart and a solid foundation. A year since this journey began on that plane over the Pacific, we’re thrilled to finally show you what we’ve been up to these last 12 months!

Besides a beautiful Brady Ley and my Grace on the way any minute now, over three dozen powerful new brands - packed with confidence and solid strategy - have been born. It’s a pretty exciting day, friends! We have about 50 blog posts waiting in the wings for you to devour shortly, but for now, enjoy our stunning new site and blog.

The site is packed with so many goodies. Huge thanks to Cathy Olson, Paperfinger and so many incredible photographers including K and K Photography, Gina Zeidler, Nancy Ray, Brett Arthur, Meg Baisden and Rae Leytham for helping us bring this site to life! We love you! Thank you to the awesome MBH behind-the-scenes duo, Marissa and Nicole, for taking such great care of us and our clients. We couldn’t do this work without you! And a gigantic thank you (along with tons of high-fives!) to our phenomenal clients.

We are so grateful for the gifts of kindness and encouragement you have given us over this exciting year! It is with profound gratitude that we present you our new brand home!

We are accepting a very limited number of new clients beginning in March 2012, when I return from maternity leave. Most spots are already filled and we expect to be sold out for 2012 launches by the end of this year, so be sure to reserve your new brand ASAP. More details about our process and how to get started can be found here.

With love, Lara and Emily (and Brady and Grace!)
