Yesterday was officially my last session in the studio. I’ve stared at this post for days because I honestly didn’t know how to put it into words. As most of you know, my studio has been inside my home for the last 4 years. We were lucky enough to find a house that’s finally big enough for our family, and while I’m so excited for this new chapter, it also means saying goodbye to my studio for now.
This one is hard.
If you’ve ever been in my studio, you know it wasn’t anything fancy. It didn’t have expensive floors or a big waiting area or a coffee bar. It was just a room in my home that I poured everything I had into. But it was mine. It was where nervous first time parents brought me their tiny newborns. Where I watched babies come back every few months until they were smashing cake on their first birthday. Where little kids ran around laughing, where families squeezed together for one more picture, and where complete strangers would leave feeling like friends. There are so many conversations, laughs, hugs, and even tears that happened inside those four walls. Those are the things I’m going to miss the most. So many memories were made in that little room, and packing it all away has been a lot more emotional than I expected.
Don’t worry though, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll still be doing outdoor sessions, and I also have a temporary studio I can rent by the day for newborns and birthday sessions so those will be available occasionally.
This isn’t the end of my studio dream either. I’ll be keeping my eyes open for another permanent space because I know I’ll have one again someday. I’d really love to stay around Franklin or Oil City so if you hear of anything affordable I’d be so thankful if you sent it my way. Small, simple, whatever it may be I just want a place to keep creating memories with all of you.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years. Every session, every share, every recommendation, every kind word. It has all helped me keep this dream alive. I can’t wait to see what comes next, and I hope you’ll all be there with me when I open those studio doors again someday. 🤍
