Inkeros GrowThink Gala: A Luxury Portrait Experience Celebrating Employee Achievement
GrowThink, sponsored by TELUS, is Inkeros’ annual awards gala celebrating top performers, recognizing employee achievements, and supporting charitable initiatives. For the past four years, One Tree Studio has had the privilege of partnering with Inkeros to provide a luxury portrait experience designed specifically for their guests.
Corporate celebrations like GrowThink are thoughtfully created to make employees feel valued and appreciated. Every detail, from the venue and entertainment to the food, atmosphere, and meaningful opportunities for connection, contributes to an unforgettable evening.
For GrowThink, Inkeros chose a luxury portrait experience rather than a traditional photo booth. This allowed guests to receive expertly crafted, high-quality portraits that matched the significance of the event and created a meaningful keepsake they could enjoy long after the gala ended.
A Premium Alternative to the Traditional Photo Booth
While traditional photo booths are designed primarily for entertainment, a luxury portrait experience transforms event photography into part of the celebration itself.
At GrowThink, employees stepped in front of a professionally lit portrait station where our experienced photographer captured each guest with careful direction, flattering lighting, and thoughtful composition. This attention to detail resulted in portraits that made every person feel recognized and celebrated.
Behind the scenes, our dedicated digitech worked in real time to individually edit each portrait as it was captured. Guests were able to receive polished digital images immediately, along with high-quality prints produced on-site as a tangible reminder of the evening.
The result was a professional portrait experience that captured the atmosphere of the evening and went beyond a simple photograph.
Four Years of Partnership with Inkeros
After four years of collaboration, One Tree Studio’s luxury portrait experience has become a valued part of the annual GrowThink awards gala. We are honoured to help Inkeros celebrate their employees by creating an elevated photography experience that reflects the importance of the occasion.
Recognition goes beyond handing out awards. It is about creating moments where people feel appreciated, celebrated, and connected. A thoughtfully designed portrait experience helps bring that vision to life while giving employees something meaningful to take home.
At One Tree Studio, we specialize in creating premium portrait experiences that help organizations celebrate their people and preserve the moments that matter most.
We would love the opportunity to bring the same level of care, professionalism, and creativity to your next employee appreciation event, awards gala, or corporate celebration.
Creating Meaningful Employee Recognition Through Photography
Employee appreciation events are about more than celebrating accomplishments; they are about making people feel valued. The luxury portrait experience became an extension of that message.
Instead of simply taking a quick snapshot, employees received a professional portrait they could proudly share with family, friends, or colleagues. Every guest walked away with a personalized reminder of a night dedicated to recognizing their hard work and contributions.
The experience reflected the same level of excellence and attention to detail that defined the GrowThink gala itself.
Extending the Value of the Event Beyond One Evening
The impact of professional event photography continues long after the celebration ends.
Instant digital delivery allowed GrowThink guests to share their portraits right away, while printed photographs created a physical keepsake they could hold onto for years. In addition, Inkeros received a collection of high-quality images that captured the people, energy, and atmosphere of the gala.
These photographs provide valuable content for internal communications, future event promotion, employer branding, and showcasing the company culture that makes Inkeros unique.
Professional portraits help tell the story of an organization; not just what it does, but the people who make it successful.
