I'm doing it. I'm taking the plunge. I'm already married, so what plunge am I mentioning? DESIGNING & OPENING AN IN-HOME STUDIO!!!! I can hardly restrain from screaming out loud with joy! I have to keep it quiet. My 10 week old is sleeping in the next room, hubby and 19 month old are passed out in Bug's big boy bed, just a hop and a skip away. Man. I did however, tell my two yorkie pups. I snapped a quick shot to show you their overwhelming response to my announcement. After I took their picture, they licked the camera lens. Ha!
Hey, I'll take it!
Suite 1730 is what I'll be referring to whenever I mention my fabulous studio. I'm going to be working on blue-prints and design ideas (I love to doodle and draw in my spare time which is scare right now) and will post pics as they develop. But for now, I'll walk you through my thoughts and design ideas.
A sneak peak of what's to come...You pull up to my house, beautiful red front door and a seating area on the porch with a big welcome sign awaiting you. You enter a beautiful Tuscan-inspired smooth tile foyer and are greeted with a warm, pumpkin spice smell (this will change seasonally of course). You enter my living room and dining room only to find a lavish, luxurious bedroom suite, seating area, flat screen tv, a fabulous over-sized brick fireplace, white sheer drapery every where you look, with different patterns and textures on the walls. There's a beautiful chandelier hanging above a very comfy bed and luxurious colored drapes on both sides of both very large windows. The natural light shines beautifully onto the restored hardwood floors. This area will be designed specifically for boudoir photo shoots, but may serve as an amazing background for maternity, family and children photos as well!
Walk through the extended hallway. The first room on your left will be my office. Clients will gather here to fill out paperwork, preview their images, order images, etc. You'll find tons of product options hanging on my walls and on my bookshelves. Everything is at your disposal! You'll be offered a refreshment and snack of course! Soft music will be playing in the background.
Walking back down the hallway, the second door on your left is the bathroom. Large, cottage style bathroom. No photos will be taken here. Simply used for what it's supposed to be used for! :)
The hallway is filled with my personal family photography. I have to show my babies off!
At the end of the hallway, turn right and you will be entering my large newborn & children room. Beautiful hardwood floors, 2 large windows, beautiful furniture fit for little ones, newborn props, toddler props, several background options (like my fabulous black and white fabric wall). I'll even have "tot boxes" - a pink one for girls and a blue one for boys. Just wait until you see these! Your child will have so much fun in this room, guaranteed.
Another great thing about me opening my own studio is discounted rates! My goal is to make custom photography simple and affordable. I offer 5 lifestyle sessions, 4 with built-in payment plans! Why go to a cookie-cutter studio when you can get a real, a fun and a laid-back, extremely personal experience in my studio, with me as your photographer?!
I also offer private boudoir sessions and boudoir parties for up to 7 ladies at a time.
When will my studio be open for business? EARLY 2010! You'll be the first to know the official grand-opening date and there will be fantastic discounts and rewards for those of you who sign up to be my very first studio clients. Keep me in mind!
