I would like to thank everyone who came out (and even those that couldn’t make it but sent me messages!) I really appreciated all of it! Today I spent my first meeting there, going over album choices and layouts, it was perfect and really why I wanted this space! It was a rough road and I’ll have before and after pictures but as I told everyone, it was like buying a house, you first see it and you’re like “oh this won’t be much work at all!” then you get in and you start cursing everything in it and why the last person did something the way they did. You deal with images falling off one wall (yes, I’m still fighting that one brown wall!!)

I would also like to thank everyone for putting up with the crazy dog!

this is the shooting side, quite boring but it needs to be that way

the meeting side

some of the flowers generously provided by Kristen from Kio Kreations! She did them in my logo colors and I just loved them! They were so unique!

another photo wall of 8×10′s

I do have all my products that I offer there from my new albums and canvases!

I bought a cookie, but forgot a knife, I’m not even 1/4 of the way through it, who wants some cookie?!

I had water and capri sun for drinks, I was skeptical but the capri sun went over very well, be prepared to drink some if you come to visit! I have leftovers!

the shoes I started with….

my adorable flats I ended with…though most of the time, I went barefoot! It’s my place, it’s allowed.

the boys and the dog decided to take a short nap during a lull in action.

the hubs got really comfortable!

and since the hubby took over the couch, Isabelle retreated to the rug.

the toy duck that Isabelle shoved in everyone’s face.

this is what I look like a lot of the time isn’t it?

I was using my super wide 14-24 2.8 so the lens that is huge, really looks that way!

The dog, happy to go home!

I will have winners and a before and after soon!!!
