Today I handed back the keys.
For the first time in nearly ten years, my little studio is empty.
As I stood there looking around at the bare walls, I couldn't help but think of the incredible women who filled this space with laughter, tears, nerves, courage, and so much joy. So many stories were shared within these four walls. So many women arrived believing they weren't enough, and left seeing themselves in a completely different light.
It was never really about taking photographs.
It was about helping women reconnect with themselves. Helping them see the beauty that everyone else could already see. Watching confidence grow with every outfit change, every smile, every "Oh my goodness... is that really me?"
Those moments will stay with me forever.
To every single woman who trusted me enough to step in front of my camera... thank you. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your story. It has been one of the greatest privileges of my life, and I will never take that for granted.
I also want to say the biggest thank you to the wonderful Miriam, my fabulous hair and make-up artist. From the moment every client sat in your chair, you made them feel relaxed, beautiful and completely at ease. You listened, you laughed, you reassured, and you became such an important part of every woman's experience. I honestly couldn't have wished for a better person to share this journey with. Thank you for every early start, every smile, every calming word and every hug. Lone Barn Bo***ir simply wouldn't have been the same without you.
Today feels incredibly bittersweet. I have loved this little studio with all my heart, but deep down I know it's time for a new chapter.
For now, I'm taking a couple of months to catch my breath, spend time with the people (and dogs!) I love, and think about what comes next. Who knows... perhaps that next chapter will involve some very exclusive bo***ir experiences in some beautiful new locations. The photographer in me certainly isn't ready to stop dreaming just yet.
So this isn't goodbye.
It's simply... thank you.
Lone Barn Bo***ir may have closed its doors today, but what happened inside those walls will stay with me for the rest of my life.
Thank you for every laugh, every hug, every tear, every friendship and every memory.
I'll treasure them all. ❤️
