Workshop
With Interior, food and lifestyle photographer, Tracey Ayton. Invites you to attend at a Beach House location…
LATE SUMMER’S HARVEST TABLETOP
Sunday, August 28th, 2016
10AM – 5PM
Spend a summers day with Alice de Crom, Principle Designer and owner of Floralista Flower Studio, and Tracey Ayton, published natural light Interior Design and Lifestyle Photographer, at a gorgeous West Coast Beach house location near Vancouver, BC. Get Inspired with like minded photographers and creatives in this hands-on photography, floral design, and styling workshop.
Floralista revels in creating arrangements which conjure the sense of spontaneity and romance found in the garden. Alice’s signature designs are layered and textured, using unique botanicals and favouring locally grown flowers and foliages for their seasonal beauty. Foraged fruit branches and herbs will be featured in this summer masterpiece. Each student will create their own garden inspired floral centrepiece in a beautiful footed bowl, under the direction of Alice.
Tracey Ayton will share her extensive photography knowledge, approach, and creative eye to each student as they style and shoot their own vignette of food and florals. She will discuss her favourite editing tools, source list, and what goes into her signature light and airy Instagram photos. Tracey will also lend insight on why having a strong styling background is so important to have as a successful photographer, and the opportunities it has brought her.
Throughout the day, Nerissa Goco, designer, maker, and owner of The New Domestic will be treating us all to a delicious spread of food and beverages and how she puts her unique touch on a table scape.
As an exercise in professional development and creative expressions, we would love for you to join us in this fun and inspiring day, where our intent as leading artists is to push your creative limits, experiment with new mediums of design, and to leave you feeling excited and innovative.
At the end of the day, each student will take home their beautiful floral arrangement, gorgeous imagery for their portfolios, and a swag bag filed with goodies from our generous sponsors.
Please bring your camera, your appetite, and an open mind.
We’ve got the rest covered!

Some Sweet Notes
The workshop was everything that I hoped it would be and more. I, (well I believe lots of people do) get stuck in the daily grind and rarely take breaks just to be creative and surround ourselves by inspiring like-minded individuals from different walks of life and your workshop was the perfect source of ‘creative refueling’.
The biggest takeaway that I found was layers are everything and to not overthink things. Styling is sometimes perfectly imperfect and that was a great reminder. I also loved the different types of women who were drawn to your program, I learned a lot about each of them and have established a couple of great contacts through your ‘cross pollination’ of creatives.
I have admired Tracey’s effortless and timeless style for years-so much so that I flew in from London, Ontario to attend her workshop! Tracey welcomed all her Attendees into her home with open arms and a warm heart.Throughout the day We were introduced to numerous vignettes of props and fresh flowers, each station more gorgeous than the next!! As artists, we were free to roam and get creative with our content creation, all the while
Tracy was only a few steps away To offer knowledge and make you think outside the box.
This past weekend on my blog, I did a little review of my favourite moments of 2019. Taking part in this Photography and Styling Workshop with @tracey_ayton was the top of my list. Being surrounded by beautiful flowers, on a farm, with my camera is pretty much my perfect way to spend a day!
Last week had me back in Vancouver for two polar opposite events. One was to say goodbye to an old childhood friend who passed away way too young, the other was to attend a workshop with a photographer and stylist who I’ve admired for years. Tracey Ayton is one of those talented people who is always the photographer in my favorite
glossy Canadian interior design magazines. Timing was on my side and it allowed me to spend a fabulous day with her and two other creatives in her beautiful west coast seaside home. As you can see, every detail in her home is thought out to precision. (More images on my blog). The only regret is that I didn’t meet her insta-famous dog,
Frankie! ❤
Had an amazing time at the @tracey_ayton #aytonstylesworkshop today with so many creative ladies and beautiful photo ops! More photos and thoughts to come! Thank you @schoolhouse_farm and @alexisleaphotography for this shot! I’m glad you talked me into being your ‘model’ 😘
