Time for a Change… {Studio Relocation Project, Phase One} Olympia, WA

Well, I never imagined I would outgrow my adorable studio, but the time has come.  I am BEYOND THRILLED to be moving into the Harmony Market Building along with Nathan Peppin of Peppin Photography.  We’ve been sharing space for a couple of months and though it’s great, we need a larger space where we can both be shooting at the same time.  The new space is GINORMOUS (not a real word, I know…) and the natural light makes the angels sing. I’ve been in love with the space for ages, and often dreamt of having a photo shoot in the glorious loft.  How dreams manifest is truly a miracle. I had been talking with a one of my wedding clients about our favorite buildings downtown and the next time I ran into the groom, he mentioned having lunch with the building owner.  Two days later I received an email from her and after many emails and a meeting, we signed the lease today! Thank you Michael!  And thanks Jennie for referring Michael and Sarah! What an awesome town Olympia is…

When Nathan and I walked through the space with the building owner, I literally felt like and 8 year old on Christmas Eve standing at the gates of Disneyland with glittery shoes on and a bag full of candy loaded on the back of my unicorn.  Yes, THAT excited!  Butterflies start fluttering in my stomach every time I think about it : )

For those of you who know this building, you will likely share my excitement.  We have grand plans for utilizing the space as a photography studio and we can’t wait to share our ideas for events we plan on hosting.  So many things to look forward to!

I can’t wait, but I will have to.  The current tenants will be moving out in June/July.  Our goal is to be in there and ready to roll in early August.  So it’ll be a few months left on Washington Street… and then moving four blocks down and into a whole new vibe.

I will miss this darling space:

 But I can’t WAIT for THIS:

Phase One has begun…

 

 

Hello Class of 2013! {High School Photography Reps, Olympia, WA}

I love photographing teens–they are so full of sass, fresh perspectives and enthusiasm–and that’s so very contagious! Thankfully the weather cooperated with my first round of Studio Rep photo shoots.  We are gearing up for the promo posters for a fashion show in Westfield Capital Mall this May.  I can’t wait!
