I have been dragging my feet on writing this post about the new studio because it’s still missing some pretty important final touches. My sign will be here within the next two weeks and my “photography” decals for the storefront windows should also be finished by the end of next week. I’m also still waiting on some other canvases to arrive, one of which will replace the giant flat screen television on the wall (it belongs to my landlords!) above the fireplace. Regardless, I’m psyched with how everything has come together! I know that I could not have done it without the gracious help of my parents and Michael. Surely, I would still be on the first coat of paint had they not pitched in big time!
Even Orvis has been a help, as he likes to sit in the windows and watch what’s happening in Willard Square- real life advertising!
I absolutely adore this space, and everyone who wanders in seems to agree with me- it’s absolutely perfect! I love being able to sit at my desk and watch the hustle and bustle of the square outside the window. Scratch Bakery is right across the street, which has already proven to be deliciously dangerous! It’s fun to see an entire neighborhood that revolves around a successful bakery, such as Scratch. They’re closed on Mondays and life in the square might as well shut down too because it’s absolutely silent! Tuesday through Sunday, however, it’s business as usual- there always seems to be a steady flow of loyal customers headed inside to check out the scrumptious treats du jour.
My desk, made of an old door from the plantation home my parents renovated in North Carolina, is one of my favorite parts about the studio!
Ampersands are everywhere!
Another favorite piece is my zinc-topped coffee table, which has already come in handy as a prop for shoots!
I was thrilled to get this print in the mail yesterday- the loves of my life at Cape Neddick back in September!
The & unlimited shooting space in the back and my favorite model, Orvis!
Orvis has been such a patient model as I familiarize myself with my new lighting equipment.
That’s all for now! Stay tuned for more updates!
