Not a food shoot….

I spent the day at the studio yesterday, with back to back maternity shoots. Although the majority of my business is now taken up with food work, I still do a lot of portraits. I have so many clients that have been with me for years, it’s just awesome seeing their lives and families change and grow.

This was the first time shooting maternity sessions outside of my home studio, where I have worked for the past several years. It was AMAZING having so much more space to shoot in and, as stated many times previously, the light was incredible.

The shots below are of Zuleika and Doug, and their daughter Lelani. I photographed Zuleika for the first time four and a half years ago– during her first pregnancy (and two home-studios ago!) Now, little Miss Lelani is 4 years old and soon to be the big sister to another little girl.

Check out a few shots from their session below. How beautiful is this family?!



Things are coming along!

Yesterday was spent scrubbing, sanding and painting, while my husband installed beadboard to one of the kitchen walls. Shelving will be installed on top of the beadboard.

My great friend, Tracy, lent a hand painting and lining drawers and cabinets with contact paper.

We’ll have more progress to show soon!

Welcome to Spare Room!

I can’t believe it was only a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned to a couple of friends that I was interested in sharing a new photography studio space. On Monday, I signed a lease and picked up the keys to our new space in the Bemis Building. Suite 303 is now the Spare Room studio!

Spare Room is a little dream of ours. A wide open (1600 sq ft!) studio space with lovely natural light, rustic hardwood floors and yes, even an exposed brick wall. It’s the perfect spot for food and lifestyle photo shoots (not to mention food photography workshops, cooking classes and dinners).

There’s a lot of work to do to get the studio just the way we want it, and I’ll be sharing our progress along the way. Thanks for joining us!
