Client Appreciation Party was a huge success!

The cars started lining up shortly after 4:00 pm on Monday, October 22nd – the day of my 30th Anniversary Client Appreciation Wine & Cheese Party! Kyle was at the end of the driveway directing traffic. And they kept coming…

Barb spent days collecting negatives for those clients that RSVP’d. My gift to those in attendance was all their film negatives!

There were displays throughout the studio and spilled into my home – which was open to everyone.

Frieda Wiebe, a former employee, looks at 5 family photos taken of Ed & Peggy Wiebe and family on their 25th, 35th, 40th, 45th and 50th anniversary!

Joyce Loewen, also a former employee, talks to Art and Linda Wiebe from Winkler Photo Studio, during the evening.

The food was plentiful as was the wine and punch!

Holly, Allyssa and Janelle, the serving girls, did a great job! And they got into the spirit of the event by dressing in clothes from the 70′s!

Luke was also helping – but he always seemed to be in the background – cool outfit, Luke!

Friends dropped by…

Fred, Adi, Michele and Richard

Michael did a bang-up job as the bartender! Thank you Michael!

Barb Dyck, RNG (you must ask her sometime what that stands for!) was kept busy handing out Gift Bags and Negatives to those that came – there was quite a line-up for awhile!

Oh yes – one of the portraits on display was of the very first family I ever photographed!

One of the features of the event was the introduction of Redfox Designs. These are Fine Art Images that have been photographed by me and are available for purchase for your home or office! We had two Door Prizes of the Fine Art Images – congratulations to Jonathan and Laurie!

We also offered two other door prizes for attending the party and the winners were Marisa and Lori.

This is my baby sister, Janie Thiessen, who made it all happen! Barb and I spent over a year planning this event – but Janie was the person that did all the running around, phone calls, food ordering, organizing… what can I say?? Thank you Janie!

And now I want to thank all my former clients that have supported me over the past 30 years in photography. I can’t believe it has been 30 years! I have seen so many wonderful people during that time. It’s hard to believe – 30 years…. I tell people I just just 2 years old when I started!

Just a reminder – if you didn’t make it to the party – you can still get your film negatives! Just give us a call and Barb will get them ready for you to pick up – just $30 per session.

Thank you… thank you!
