Carly is DaBomb!! ♥️
There are days that remind me exactly why I took the leap.
Today was one of those days.
From 1:00 this afternoon until now, I captured more than 400 photos and videos. I spent the day chasing moments that would’ve been gone in a heartbeat and turning them into memories people can hold onto for years to come.
I’m exhausted. My feet hurt. My cameras are full. But my heart?
It’s overflowing.
Watching this community show up year after year to support local musicians, local businesses, and a mission that truly changes lives is something I’ll never take for granted. It’s a reminder that when people come together, really incredible things happen.
To everyone who trusted Electric Peony Designs to tell this story, thank you. To every volunteer, sponsor, musician, vendor, donor, and every single person who walked through those doors, thank you for making today what it was.
And here’s to the fine folks who continue to support my small business. Every booking, every referral, every share, every kind word, and every person who believes in what I’m building has helped make this dream a reality. I wouldn’t be here without y’all, and I hope you know I’ll never stop being grateful for that.
I truly feel so blessed that this is what I get to call work.
Here’s to another unforgettable Nikopalooza, and here’s to this community that never quits showing up for each other.
Xoxo,
Carly ⚡️
