{ Pamper Me Fabulous }
From the moment I heard the name of the event, I knew it was going to be something to go gaga for. And as I learned more about the details – luxurious spas providing their treatments, decadent desserts and hors d’oeuvres, samples of great products, all rolled up into a chic downtown loft – I began envisioning a pampering paradise, with bright colors, sweet smells, and massages and facials around every corner.
But my mind’s images paled in comparison to what Ada and her team at Fresh Events actually created! The ambiance was that much more soothing, the services that much more luxurious, the sweets melted in your mouth that much more. Every detail was meticulously planned to create a feast for the senses and a haven for the guests, right smack in downtown LA. I was so honored to be there to capture the event and I know if they put on another pampering extravaganza I would definitely love to attend again… maybe next time as a guest?? :)
The space! Inside…
And out…
Amazing fruit baskets provided by Couture Baskets, set under relaxing cabanas:
The treats!
Ciudad Grill…
Moonpillows – mochi filled with chocolate truffle centers!
The Sugar Spot – the green tea was my fave!
They rounded up some hottie male models to serve the guests…
Checking in:
Each guest received a gorgeous pink wristlet complete with a program for the day:
And once you enter – spas and salons galore!
And in between treatments there was relaxing under the cabanas…
… hanging out in the Photo Cabina…
… and a raffle! Ada and Amanda start it off –
One of the many cool prizes:
To mix it up they had the model from CWE come up to choose a few lucky winners:
I leave you with just a couple shots of the gorgeous ladies of Fresh Events!

Thank you so much Ada for giving me the opportunity to photograph the amazing day and a big thank you to Dave for the referral!

All these pretty people! Hahaha…they paid you right I hope? These are excellent. I love your images, always so clean and oh-so organic. Like, you exfoliated all the noise, French-manicured your front element and deep-cleansed your zoom rings.

@dimsom –
Haha, that’s so cool to hear that guys would like it too. There were definitely some guys in attendance as well and seriously, anyone can enjoy massages & yummy treats! And I’ll definitely let you know if any similar events come up that I’d need assisting for :)
@gonchoi –
Thanks! That’d be cool if they had something like this for dudes too – sounds like there’s a demand for it ;)
@Lorelei Photography –
Thanks Lorelei! If they do such an event again I’ll be sure to let ya know!
@Skunkabilly –
Thanks Jeff! And so clever there tying the spa vocab in with the camera lingo.
@Vietprince1 –
Dude, I’d love to, but if I got my hands on some Moonpillows they’d definitely never make it to you, let alone last 3 seconds before ending up in my tummy. haha.
@Rachel Brooke –
Thank you Rachel! :)
@zhoo –
Thanks! I’m not sure about that, but that’s so awesome of you to say :)

@Wayne Toshikazu –
Thanks Wayne! Yeah and those massages looked extra awesome, I was feeling all relaxed just taking pictures of them!
@DJ_Stunna –
It was a lot of pampering – pretty much as much pampering as you can fit into one room :)
@akamaichan –
It was so cool, you would totally love it! I’ll let you know if they put something like it on again.
