You know it’s Christmas season at Essenza when the staff is at the studio more than at home- & Jennifer is caught in her pajamas, pulling all nighters! After realizing the numerous hours and incredible effort the Essenza team has been putting in, we decided to dedicate time together outside the studio!
We went on a retreat to Waynesville to celebrate the family-like bond that the Essenza staff has behind the scenes! It was a joyful car ride there, as we sang along to Christmas carols & debated where to go first! Embracing the rainy weather and belly’s full of Hammel House cooking, we went shopping around town! Our day flew by as we admired the antique shops and bought special presents for our loved ones.
That Sunday Angela organized a wonderful get together at Maggianos! We were served a delicious three course meal and embraced the spirit of Christmas by expressing how much we appreciate each other. Along with the gratitude, many funny stories were revealed, followed by countless laughs. We left that night with full bellies and happy spirits!
To continue the holiday celebration, we had a Secret Santa gift exchange on Monday during our lunch hour! It was exciting to finally reveal who everyone had & watch everyone open their gifts! Continuing the tradition, Angela bought mugs for everyone and we had to guess who they were for and why. This game is something we enjoy doing every year!
We not only love our job & the people we photograph, but we love the people we work with! We are so fortunate to be surrounded with such talented & remarkable people on our staff, and that’s why I am proud to say we wake up every morning with a smile and love coming to work.
Essenza loves you! 13 days till Christmas & counting (:
