This week, we opened our doors—and our hearts—for a celebration 20 years in the making. We gathered with the friends, family, clients, and creative partners who have walked this journey with us. It was a night full of hugs, laughter, and gratitude in our Fort Worth studio backyard, glowing with café lights and filled with joy.

With expert planning by Tami Winn Events, every inch of the evening reflected the energy, warmth, and love that fuel our work. From the thoughtful florals to the custom rentals, Tami and Heather curated an atmosphere that felt like home. Our transformation partners included Render Event Rentals, Grand Events, and BBJ La Tavola, who made the entire space welcoming and beautiful.

Cocktails and mocktails from Westland Hospitality were served at the Render bar cart, setting the tone for a laid-back, celebratory vibe. Guests mingled to live music by Jeremiah of It’s Your Night Entertainment and enjoyed delicious sips and bites from Magdalena’s Catering, Crème de la Crème Cake Company, and Magnolias Coffee. (Yes, we’re still dreaming about the apple pie and logo lattes!)

LeForce Entertainment helped set the mood with perfect lighting, and 5×7 Designs provided gorgeous paper details that pulled everything together seamlessly.

Inside the studio, desserts and coffee warmed everyone up—and our team felt extra ready for the night thanks to Jennifer Trotter with Lip Service Makeup, who helped us feel our best from the start.

A huge thank-you to Angela with New Seasons Photography for capturing the spirit of the night. We’re beyond thankful to each of you who showed up, celebrated, and reminded us why we love what we do.

Here’s to the next chapter. And hopefully? A few more backyard nights just like this one.
