The Sparkle Soiree

The Sparkle has settled, but I am still Buzzin!!
The Sparkle Soirée Was Everything I Hoped It Would Be
There is also an idea that lives in your head for months, and you hope that it will work out like the way you envision it, well, The Sparkle Soirée was one of those moments FOR SURE!!
This year wasn't meant to be a typical open house where people walk in, look around, and leave, it wasn't supposed to be crammed with ladies and vendors. Last year was great but this year I wanted something different.
After the intimate Holiday Event, being able to connect with the ladies better, I knew this year had to be different because I wanted women to experience the heart behind Crystalized Photography.
I wanted them to feel comfortable asking questions, exploring the studio, and seeing firsthand that boudoir isn't about being perfect.
It's about showing up exactly as you are, trusting me, and having fun!!
One of my favorite things throughout the event was watching complete strangers become friends.
There were so many moments that made my heart happy, the ladies complimenting each other, hyping each other up, sharing stories, laughing, and more laughing!!
When women feel safe, incredible things happen.
The Live Posing Demo
Something different this year was the live posing demo! I really wanted to give ladies an in-person peek into what their session could look like, how the magic is made, and how much FUN it is!!
I loved watching the ladies realize how much I truly coach and guide you! So many women walk into the studio worried they'll be awkward, not know what to do, or some how they will do it wrong.
The demo showed exactly what I tell all of my ladies:
You do not have to know how to pose, you do not have to know your angles, you do not need experience. That's my job, and to be honest, I am realllyy good at it!
Helping women find their confidence in front of the camera is why I do what I do!
The Set Reveal
I debuted two new sets, the first was the Speakeasy Mantle Set, perfect for a couple session, those flapper vibes, or simply any baddie, it's a whole vibe and I am so in love with it!!
The second set was the Goddess mashup, I created this set because I had two or three ideas mashed up to create this set, I am still looking to get a few ladies on this set. I have an idea that I want to create, so for that reason I am offering $150 off a package to scratch that itch for me and help me create that vision. HERE'S THE DEAL THOUGH, this set is leaving the studio in a few weeks, so IT'S NOW OR NEVER!!!
SOO much fun was had!!
The beauties who attended the Soiree got to explore the 15 different sets in the studio, search for hidden gems during the Gem Hunt (and get an exclusive prize), and spent time at the accessory bar trying on sparkly pieces from the Client Closet and then taking selfies on their favorite sets!
It was so fun watching them experiment with pieces they may never have picked up for themselves and LOVE it!!
New Products Revealed
The Soirée also gave me the opportunity to unveil some exciting new products.
Guests were able to see and hold:
• The new Crystal Print Collection
• Our Fine Art Albums with custom cover customizations
• Mini Folio Prints (which is great for brides)
There's something special about seeing products in person that photos simply can't replicate. I like to touch it and feel it, especially the cool paper and cover options. Keep an eye out for another blog post about the new products coming soon!!
Exactly What I Was Hoping For
At the end of the day, this event wasn't really about products, booking sessions, or showing off the studio (ok maybe a little of this) but it truly was about creating a safe space for women to connect, to feel welcomed. A space where they could see where and how the magic happens.
And after hearing some of the ladies talk about the new friendships, seeing so many smiles, and watching them leave feeling good, I can honestly say,
The Sparkle Soirée was exactly what I hoped it would be.
