Complete....

Well with the backdrops anyway....but I have to go over and spend another half day cleaning up the mess we made, and then decide on the "art" that I plan on hanging on the walls. And I need to get my seating and all that jazz in there. I am searching craigslist for tables and stuff for my "office" space...which I think I am going to turn into a sort of lounge/playroom.

So...here they are...backdrops up and ready to go. SO CALL ME! lol


These are my muslins....

Day from HELL!!

WHAT A DAY!!! Today was a day from hell, between the kids acting out (mostly out of boredom) and then NOTHING seeming to go right. I have the BIGGEST headache! So....we are no further in the studio than we were yesterday. The ceilings in the studio are concrete (which we suspected and prepared for), but there was nothing going through it. So, we had to readjust our plans and we are now making freestanding backdrop supports. So, the day was spent with nothing to really show for it other than a headache.

On a plus note though I was able to get a few pics of a little man. So here are a few to see. These are RAW images and still need a bit of editing done.






So...looks like my supports won't be finished until next weekend. UGH! But that's ok because I really won't be needing them much this week with the upcoming surgery.

Thanks for reading.

Day at the Studio

Well today our day was spent mostly at the studio. Kyley and I went and cleaned it all up this morning. There was about 2 inches of dirt on the windows, after cleaning it the lighting was amazing. I really can't wait to take some pics in there.

After we were done cleaning we met the boys back at home and took over most of my backdrops, props and stands. However, we realized that my backdrop stands weren't really going to work out all that great. So Matt had a great idea to suspend them from the ceiling to open up most floor/posing space. So...we made a trip to Lowe's and get everything that we would need for that project and tomorrow morning we will head over to get that all set up. And then I will be taking some pics. YAY! My cousin is bringing her little man over a guinea pig so that I can get all my lighting set up and all that. Because my kids are now TRUE photographer's children, everytime they see the camera they cringe. lol. How nice!

Anyway, that's the update from the studio. Look for new pictures tomorrow. Pics of the studio itself as well as some "model" pics. I wonder if I can get my children to cooperate tomorrow. lol

Thanks for reading.

It's MINE!

I am now officially leasing studio space. I picked up the keys this morning and then went right over to take some pics. Mind you these are BARE pics...I have done NOTHING to the studio yet at all.

So....here is a picture as you enter the front door: (sorry forgot to put the flash on)


Right as you walk in if you look to the right there is an office space:


Here is a picture of the workspace:

And then this is where I am going to set up my backdrops:



I will be sure to post "finished project" pictures as soon as I have them.

Thanks for looking

Tomorrow is "THE" day....

Well...the day has come. I will be officially opening my doors to MY studio space, talk about exciting. I must say that this wasn't something that I was actually looking to do at this moment in my life. I have a lot of other things going on in regards to my health, but this opportunity was one that I could not pass up. I stumbled across an ad on my local craigslist, and that is how I found "MY" space. I will be picking up the keys tomorrow morning and then moving everything in on Saturday. I will be sure to take some before and after pics.

I will be using this blog to keep people updated on specials that I will be offering, and with pics of sittings that I obtain a model release for. You can also check me out on myspace @ Epoch Journey

Hope you enjoy!
