Kayla + Ryan – Burnsville/studio

We intended to do Kayla and Ryan’s session in Northfield as well, but the rainy spring made it almost impossible to schedule anything outdoors!  Last minute, we decided to try a studio session, and then grabbed a few quick outdoor shots out back when the rain let up for a spell!

Studio Pics

I’ve been meaning to get around to posting some photos of the new studio space for awhile now.   The images have been sitting on my memory card for several weeks now and I just came across them!  Soon I’ll be posting photos that I took out back in the garden area, which has been working out really nicely..  I love being able to have so many great photo ops just outside the door!

Big News!!

If you aren’t following me on facebook or you haven’t been to see me in a few months, you might not be aware that I have recently moved into a studio space!

I can’t tell you how excited I am about it;  Shooting out of my house was fine;  I mean, it worked great for years…but it is no fair comparison to this place!

It’s in a lovely building in Burnsville called the River Ridge Arts Building.  It’s a family friendly building, and among it’s tenants are painters, dancers, musicians, counselors, and therapists, to name a few.  The building itself has great amenities:  adequate parking, a comfortable foyer/lounge area, and beautiful garden features with a pretty fence and a pond out back; However, the main selling point for me was the crazy natural light in the room I’m working out of.  It faces directly north, and one whole wall is comprised of windows/skylights.  The room has harnessed perfect diffused light from dawn till dusk!   I absolutely love everything about it, and I can’t wait for everyone to see it.

(I would encourage everyone to book early for photo shoots from now on…It’s that time of year and I’m already booking into June!

This past weekend was my first time shooting there;  and my sister Nicci was happy to bring Sophie in to be my guinea pig!  Nicci actually designed this dress all by herself (inspired by Matilda Jane!)  and the headband is by Miss Ruby Sue on Etsy.  (Also pictured is the great new sofa that was recently added to my prop collection!)
