Neiman Marcus - In Season

December 10: Every time I walk into a Neiman Marcus store I am amazed at it's opulence with how everything is put together. There is impeccable style, luxury, and fashion represented in the store. I was at the Neiman Marcus Mazza Gallerie store in Washington, D.C. for Fashion Night Out on September 10th and I could see from that event that this store really knows how to put on an event. My photos from that event were seen by someone on staff with Neiman Marcus and I was invited to come and take photographs in covering a special event on December 10th.

When I arrived at Neiman Marcus I started taking photographs and tried to capture the details of the evening. There were a lot of great things about the night. There was an opportunity to buy a key for charity, by making a donation to the Children's Law Center. In getting one of these silver keys was a chance, there was a chance that it was one of five that opened a Tumi suitcase filled with gifts. A donation to "First Book" yielded a gift card. There was a sugar plum fairy and a trio of carolers singing. A portrait photography area was setup with a Christmas season backdrop. Several items were featured such as Tom's Shoes with their One for One campaign. There was a custom airbrush design with your purchase of Ugg Boots. An amazing array of snacks and drinks were offered. There were gourmet whoopie pies provided by B. Hall Baker. Eliot Raffit made a personal appearance at the store displaying his fabulous collection of holiday ornaments. The evening started wrapping up close to 8:30pm, and it was a successful night.
