Eeeek! I am so excited to announce that my brand new studio has been open for about a month now! So much time, effort, longgggg nights, sweat, and tears went into this building! My husband works for a lumber & construction company and built it from the ground up in all of his spare time, which was basically during the evening after he came home from a long day of work. So, so thankful for that man. I’ve been dying to have my own studio for about 10 years now and this is the absolute PERFECT space.
So let me give you all the details!
The studio is located behind my house in Dover, PA! We live on about 3 acres with a creek and woods taking up the majority of the property. When we bought the property, a partially built turkey pen was set across the creek in the woods. It had concrete posts already laid, and was pretty large in size. We ended up using the concreted posts as part of the base for the studio so it worked out perfectly!
The inside is heated so newborn and little ones stay cozy warm! My favorite area is the boho lifestyle setup. It has a queen sized bed, rattan baby bassinet, vintage peacock chair, and a beautiful pampas swag on the wall. Next to the lifestyle area is the parent waiting area. I love having a space for exhausted parents to just kick back, relax, and let me take care of the rest! This area also has a changing table fully stocked with the essentials like diapers, wipes, diaper cream, nursing pads, & extra pre-sterilized pacifiers. On the opposite side of the room are two large wooden backdrop areas, one dark stained and one white. I love natural backgrounds so there are no distractions and your little ones are the center of attention, so having simple, real wood backdrops was very important to me! We stained/painted them ourselves and they have so much character to them!
I also have a large storage system with all of my props/outfits/headbands/bonnets/blankets/wraps. I’ve invested so much into high quality items last year to really elevate the setups I provide.
I’ve also started my client closet in the last few months! I have about 10 dresses right now and will be adding more every few months. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any boho/neutral dresses you’d like to sell!
Last but not least, PRODUCTS! I am so excited to be offering products with my digital images this year. I’ve purchased many samples of products in order for my clients to be able to see and feel them before purchasing. All the products will be custom made just for you from the highest quality printers. We just installed some shelves in the studio to allow me to show you your images after your session in person. Your images will be printed & matted for you to hold in your hands while seeing them for the first time. I’m so excited to share this journey with you and to help guide you along the way so you can hang your precious memories in your home. Imagine gifting your children one of these heirlooms when they have their own kids down the road, I get chills just thinking about it! My job is more than just photographing people, it’s creating memories that you can hold in your hands, hang in your home, and gift to future generations of your loved ones.
Anywho, we still have some work to do in the spring time, like placing siding on the building, adding pavers to the pathway, encasing the beams with stained wood, and adding plants/lights outside. I’m hoping all of these things will be checked off the list before I hold my motherhood minis in the April! Once completed, I plan to have a grand opening party so you can come check out the studio for yourself!
