An evening off the water, celebrating the people who make Sylvan Lake such a special place. ⛵️❤️

We loved spending last night with fellow local business owners at the Sylvan Lake Business Awards. Behind every business is someone who took a chance, chased a dream and put their heart into it. Getting to celebrate that together was pretty special. 🙌🏼

I need to take a little pause from my emails today to celebrate something pretty incredible… 🥹🤍

CHLO ARTISTRY IS A FINALIST FOR THE 2026 SYLVAN LAKE CHAMBER HOME BUSINESS OF THE YEAR AWARD!!! 🎉✨ @thesylvanlakechamber

I can’t wait to attend the Gala @hilltopweddingcenter @eventsathilltop on October 3, 2026!

To be recognized in my own community for a business I’ve poured so much of my heart into means more than I can say. 💗

To every person who has booked with me, referred me, shared my work, left a review or simply cheered me on — THANK YOU. Chlo Artistry wouldn’t be what it is today without you. 🤍

And above all, thank you God. For opening doors, guiding me through the hard seasons and continuing to remind me that His plans are always bigger than mine. 🙏🏻

🧸✨ Teddy Bear Picnic Recap! ✨🧸

We had an amazing time at the 4th Annual Teddy Bear Picnic at Hilltop Wedding Center this past weekend! The event was a tremendous success and completely sold out, bringing together families from across the community for an afternoon filled with fun and excitement.

From princesses and superheroes to special appearances by Mario and Princess Peach, there was no shortage of smiles and memorable moments throughout the day. 👑🍄

Lakestone Insurance was proud to be the Ice Cream Bar Sponsor, with Lisa and Chrystal serving up sweet treats to attendees all afternoon. 🍦

Thank you to everyone who came out to support this fantastic event. We hope you had as much fun as we did, and we're already looking forward to next year! 💙🎉
