The Grand Reopening Sparkled and Shined! ✨

What a day! My heart is still overflowing with joy and gratitude after our Grand Reopening Open House! It was everything I dreamed of and more, welcoming so many beautiful new and familiar faces into the expanded Crystalized Photography studio. Seeing my vision come to life and this incredible community gather together truly made all the hard work worthwhile.

For those who couldn't make it, let me tell you, the studio is GLOWING! We officially debuted some gorgeous new sets, and I'm so excited to finally share them with you all:

  • The After Dark Corner has expanded to welcome the sultry and artistic Nudescapes Set. Get ready for moody and evocative images!
  • The elegant and timeless Mantle Set has made its triumphant return, ready for classic and sophisticated vibes.
  • Our signature Sparkle Backdrop is back and shining brighter than ever!
  • Adding a pop of modern cool is our brand new Neon Sign.
  • Get ready to play on our brand new Swing for fun and dynamic shots!
  • For those who dare, we unveiled the intriguing St. Andrew's Cross set.
  • And finally, the Floral Set bloomed into the studio, offering a fresh and feminine backdrop.

But the magic of the day wasn't just about the new space! I was absolutely blown away by the incredible vendors who came out to pamper and delight everyone:

  • A huge thank you to Lola from Elevate Studios for adding a touch of sparkle with her amazing hair tinsel!
  • Gilbert the Vintage Truckbed, provided by the wonderful Kayleen from Keener Events, was a total hit for those fun photo ops!
  • It was so special to have Jessica back for complimentary Tarot readings! She was at my very first boudoir event three years ago, so it felt like perfect circle magic.
  • Dianey from Nuevevavilla Aesthetics offered mini sugarings and exclusive discounts, helping everyone feel even more radiant.
  • And a big thank you to Debra from Unique Bra Boutique for providing expert bra fittings and a chance to shop some beautiful pieces.

Giving back to our community is so important to me, and I was thrilled with the turnout for our pop can drive benefiting PAF, helping individuals access vital mental health support. Thank you to everyone who contributed!

 

From the moment our guests arrived, we wanted them to feel special. Each lady walked the red carpet entrance and was welcomed with a goody bag filled with a sparkly disco ball keychain, an affirmation sticker, and a complimentary upgrade for their next session! Plus, everyone received a raffle ticket just for attending!

There were even more chances to win! Ladies who booked a service with Dianey received an extra ticket, each bag of pop cans earned another, and golden sparkly Easter eggs were hidden throughout the studio, each containing an extra raffle ticket – encouraging everyone to explore all the new sets and the expanded space, including my desk showcasing all the amazing new products up for grabs in the raffle!

The raffle prizes were incredible, featuring a 3x3 accordion album with 10 images, a beautiful folio box, gorgeous sparkly picture frames, a delightful spring gift box, and a stunning 16x20 metal fine art print!

To add even more fun, everyone who took selfies throughout the studio and posted them on social media with #getcrystalized received an extra raffle entry! It was amazing seeing all your beautiful faces and the fun you were having – even though I was a whirlwind of hugs and hellos!

And of course, you know I love my food! We had a delicious spread of mimosas (with OJ and cranberry!), lemonade, water, fresh fruit, veggie pizza, spinach and Munster pinwheels, banana bread, and a beautiful charcuterie board, all served on sparkly plates, naturally!

Welcoming both new and familiar faces into this space that has been a dream of mine since the very beginning was truly incredible. Seeing you all connect, laugh, form friendships, uplift, and empower each other – especially during the selfie sessions, making sure everyone got their best angles – filled my heart with so much joy. Creating this supportive and judgment-free community of amazing women has always been my goal, and seeing it come to life was everything.

I am so excited for what the future holds for Crystalized Photography and this incredible community!

 

I couldn't have done any of this without the unwavering support of my amazing husband Daniel and my incredible son Julian! Thank you both for all the hard work, patience, and for always being there to help bring my crazy ideas to life!

A monumental thank you also goes to Alaynna! For the past nine months, she has been my guiding star in planning this Grand Reopening. Taking her Creative Struggle Bus Course and Joy Ride truly opened my eyes and blew my mind to the world of effective marketing and running a successful business. She taught me so much that I was missing and coached me every step of the way. While I did the work, her guidance and education were invaluable in making this event so smooth and successful. I am eternally grateful!

And a HUGE thank you to the incredibly talented Nikki Connor! Nikki, you have been an absolute rockstar in helping me with my rebrand. Working endlessly on my new logos, you truly captured me and everything I could have wished for! Not only that, but going through the Creative Struggle Bus and Joy Ride with me, helping me understand things I didn't get, and our almost daily video calls working through the course truly helped me. We overthought everything together and had so many aha moments together. Thank you so much for your help, support, and guidance. I am so incredibly thankful for everything you have done to help me reach the goals we set together nine months ago!

And finally, to my incredible clients, my ladies, my community – you are the heart and soul of Crystalized Photography! Thank you for always showing up and spreading your sparkle. I wouldn't be able to do what I love without your trust and support in allowing me to capture and showcase your stories. I am deeply grateful and thankful for each and every one of you.

A HUGE shoutout to my amazing team – Tanya, Erika, and Shauna! You were absolute rockstars, working seamlessly and making the day run so smoothly while I was busy mingling and connecting with everyone. Thank you for your incredible teamwork!
