Recently, I mused about the possibility of switching rooms between a small studio room and my absurdly large bedroom to create a home photo studio.. Last week, I made the move... Tonight, I set up my backdrop; purchased last night along with some other minor necessities. This is the piece I've been waiting to get, to put things into motion. It's here and it fits perfectly on the intended wall!.. I'm thrilled, as I didn't have exact measurements at the store with me and had a few choices. I'm really excited to walk in the room and see it sitting there along with the new strobe lights. My last shoot inspired me to create a small studio while visualizing the studio I one day want to have... Somehow I asked, why not start now?

On Sunday, I'll have my first shoot here. This shoot is a collaboration, as I'm not being paid. For now, I'm ok with that, as I'm still working on my book, do not have an official business, nor is my space set up to be a business. That will come later, and for now I consider it my service. I'm working with 2 women in their early 20's, and I'm moved by their focus, vision and talent. I feel good I can provide them with strong photos for their promotion and marketing, so they can move forward with their music, modeling or what have you. It also makes me happy to know they are in nurturing hands and not somewhere where someone has ulterior motives. I've realized that is not at all a cliche, and I'm so glad I can provide an alternative.
