Here’s to a long over due blog post!
*takes a sip of overly hot & bitter coffee*
I’ve been flooding Facebook and Twitter with updates of my new adventure – opening my own photography studio. Let me first say what an overwhelming burst of emotions follow the choice of opening a studio. I’m glowing with excitement and joy over the opportunities that are to come. I cannot wait to to embark in this journey with my special and dearly loved wife, LeLoni. Following excitement comes fear. Wow talk about bittersweet. On one hand I’m thrilled over the studio and in the other i’m sweating bullets. Truthfully it’s not a fear of having to come up with a set amount for rent; although that does burden the shoulders just a tad. Deep down I think it’s a fear of failing – a fear of letting those supporting me down – at times it feels like those around me have more confidence in the studio than I do. I’m working on putting these fears to rest and moving forward. With the encouragement of family and friends – there’s only room for success!
From the bottom of my heart I want to thank my wife – the one who inspires me and encourages me. I would not be where I am today if it were not for you. I also want to thank the rest of my wonderful new family Lorna, Marty and Josh – your help in preparing the studio is greatly appreciated. You saved me many blisters and hours working on getting the studio ready.
With all said and done we’re almost finished! Just a few walls to touch up and a lot of hardwood to install. Here’s a few photos of where we’re at with the studio.
Cheers!
and my favourite photo of all times- LeLoni and I covered in dusty from grinding the grout off the floor.
