i know what you're thinking - about time, right?! i mean, we moved in FOUR months ago, what took us so long??
ahhhh..... well, as i found out, apparently rome wasn't built in a day (and neither is a studio). so let's back up a bit and start at the beginning...
for those of you who don't know my story, let me give you the cliff notes version. i began 3 girls photography (officially) in 2005 as an on-location children's portrait photographer. my cousin, michele, had started her own business a while before and got me interested in photography when she brought her family out to visit us in washington, dc (where we were living at the time while jim was stationed at the pentagon). i began studying the art, and fell in love. INSTANTLY.
early in 2006 we built a small studio at home. i also developed an extreme passion for senior portraits and fashion. we outgrew this initial space almost immediately and moved into our previous location late that year. it was love at first sight. and then we outgrew that pretty quickly as well.
in the meantime i spent a lot of time visiting various studios of friends and mentors and developing my idea of a dream studio - centered entirely around natural light portraiture, EXTREME fun, decorative art, and a very unforgettable experience. and pigtails. :-) okay, maybe that last one was just for me. :-)
finally in mid-2008, while working with my friend renee reneau, i met with derek turner and his peeps and we began discussing how and where to build the coolest studio in history. the details worked out, we broke ground earlier this spring, and thanks to our fabulous builders (miller tippens), we opened our doors in just over 3 months time.
we packed up and began the move on friday, july 3rd (YEE HAW!). we had to be fully functional on july 5th, and were hoping to have some downtime in between in order to have our grand opening in september. HA! not sure what i was thinking, but as you can see that didn't happen. brian killian, ed pierce, and the photovision peeps stopped by the first part of october, and we thought we'd have everything ready by THEN, but we were just getting our first portraits on the wall at that time and furniture was still rolling in too.
with any luck we'll be ready THIS THURSDAY!!
