For the past couple of years, I have been using our bonus room as a photography studio. My youngest son lovingly told people “My mom pretends to be a photographer in my playroom.” It really did feel that way with all the toys crowding the space, but I couldn’t bring myself to take them out. However, the toys could not be used because the studio equipment was in the way. Renting retail space for a studio would be wonderful, but it would also require me to raise my prices to cover the costs….not a good option. This weekend, we renovated a bit. The toys are still in the room, but we weeded out those not used and moved them to a more confined space. The new configuration will allow the room to be opened up when guests come over to play. The room functions more like a studio with room to store props (well, some of them), a changing table, and comfortable seating for parents. It is just right for newborns and babies up to one year and for head shots. I can’t wait for you to see it in person! If you are expecting a baby, call to reserve a time on my calendar. Let me help you remember this special time with amazing portraits!
