thrive creative conference

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to provide photo coverage of the Thrive Creative Conference hosted at The Westin (Woodlands). It was an incredible day filled with speakers, panels, and lots of fellowship! I loved seeing the creative community come together to cheer each other on and support each other’s growth. I was impressed with the conference the second I walked in. All of the details were perfectly thought-out from the calligraphy place cards (Megan Marie Calligraphy) to the handmade selfie walls (Arts by Aaron) to the incredible swag bags for all of the attendees. I was beyond spoiled getting to soak in all of the knowledge from the speakers as I floated around taking photos during their talks.

I also want to brag on founder, Bree Pair, for being the mastermind behind it all! She had an amazing team helping her host the conference, and I know firsthand how many hours she put into creating and executing the conference. (And shout out to all of the sponsors who supported the conference!)
