Lynda Payne Photography Open House Event | Central Florida Portrait Photographer

So in case you hadn't heard, I had an open house event over at Urban Flats in downtown Winter Garden on March 10th.  I wanted to create an event that allowed me to spoil my clients and their friends with goodies, giveaways, delicious food, and just a night out.  It was so much fun, and it was so nice to spend some time just enjoying the great company of my clients and friends and the great food and atmosphere Urban Flats has to offer!  Here's a little recap of the evening.

We had a nice turnout, and I really enjoyed seeing so many of your smiling faces there.  Here's just a few of the people who came out to join us. 

 

I brought lots of studio samples so clients could get a close look at my products and actually handle things like greeting cards, mini accordion albums, and cube decor. 

A big shout out goes to my wonderful husband for taking on the project of creating a new backdrop for me that doubled as a way to display samples at the event!  He painted, distressed, and hinged the doors, and he mounted the gallery block, bamboo mount, acrylic print, print wrap, and frames for me.  He's pretty awesome!  Now we just have to patch a few holes from hanging the samples, and these will be ready to use at a session.  I can't wait!



My mom created this beautiful and tasty cake for the event and even used my logo colors as inspiration for the layers!

Goody bags included discounts and other goodies from The Flour Shop, Little Diva and Dude Designs, Birdie Baby Boutique, Alyssa Huang - Origami Owl Independent Designer, Rosie Hatfield - Stella & Dot Independent Stylist, Stephen Huang - Massage Therapist/Acupuncturist, and of course, Lynda Payne Photography! 

One of the items I knew I had to have in the goody bags was a gourmet sugar cookie made by The Flour Shop featuring my logo.  They turned out even cuter than I had imagined!  (And I had imagined they would be pretty darn cute.)  The Flour Shop really did an excellent job with them!

Avery got to try one the next day. He approved.

And we had prizes to give away too!  The prizes included a set of headbands from Birdie Baby Boutique, a pettiromper set from Little Diva and Dude Designs, a pair of Stella & Dot earrings from Rosie Hatfield, a cake pop bouquet from The Flour Shop, a wine basket from Urban Flats, and a photo session with me.

A few of the happy winners who were there when their names were drawn...

I want to thank everyone who came out to the event and all the other businesses who contributed items for the giveaways and discounts for the goody bags!  You all made this event such a great experience!  I loved doing this for my clients, and I'm looking forward to doing it again in the future.
