Kelly Fitzsimmons

Owner

I’m proud to be one of the few woman-owned holiday lighting companies in the nation.

I started this business over 21 years ago out of the trunk of my car, and my passion for creating magical lighting experiences has only grown. With a background in photography and a lifelong love of creativity, lighting design has become my dynamic and innovative outlet. I travel to decorating shows to bring my clients the very best in holiday decor

I’ve seen firsthand the joy that thoughtful lighting displays bring to families and communities

I’d love to help you start or enhance your holiday lighting tradition. Schedule a design call with us to get all your questions answered, or request a video catalog to explore our latest decor collection.
