🎄 Holiday Photo Night at the Office!🎄

NEWS November 14, 2024

Save the date: November 22nd, 4:30pm - 7:30pm. Bring your friends, family, pets—anyone you’d love to have in your holiday photos. We’ll have a professional photographer capturing your best shots, with festive props, holiday cocktails, and kid-friendly drinks.

Here’s the plan:

✨ Backdrop Options
We’re setting up a large backdrop. I've chosen two backdrops with a darker, cozy vibe that’ll look great in photos. Going to see which one works the best on the night. Since they’re on the darker side, lighter clothing will really stand out. 

📸 Open Arrival Window
The event runs from 4:30pm to 7:30pm, so you can come anytime that works for you. Depending on the flow, there might be a short wait, but there’ll be plenty of holiday cheer to enjoy while you’re here.

🍹 Drinks & Holiday Props
We’ll have cocktails for the adults and fun drinks for the kids. Plus, holiday props will be on hand to add some personality to your photos.

📬 Photos to Keep
After the event, I’ll send everyone digital copies of their photos, along with a single edited shot for your holiday card or keepsake.

🎉 Check Out the New Office
If you couldn’t make it to the office grand opening, this is a great chance to come by and see the space. I’m excited to host this holiday event and look forward to kicking off the season with everyone!

Hope to see you there for a relaxed, fun night of holiday photos and good company!
