my studio

My father, who lives in Texas, keeps asking me to post photos of my studio. Since today is the 7 month anniversary of me moving into it, I thought I'd finally post some shots. My studio is located in the historic 5 Points Theatre Building. I love being surrounded by so much history. The theatre building was built in 1927. I have had several clients bring their mothers or grandmothers to my studio who remember coming to visit the doctor in my building. (check out the old photos and history.


When the owners renovated the buidling, they kept so many of the original details...like the beautiful doors with glass, the gorgeous floors, the cool old mailboxes. This building has soul! I love walking up to my door and seeing my name on the door!


I never get tired of the way the light flows into this beautiful room. There's something special about the way the light plays off the original wood floors.
The view from my window. I can see the hospital where David was born. Two blocks away is the Cummer Museum.


I love the way my ipod sounds in my studio, but I was missing some of my favorite NPR shows. A cool radio at Nest Living downstairs was calling my name. One of the things I love about 5 Points is the mix of old and new--Nest Living is a very cool modern store inside an old building with very cool old architectural details.


I enjoy having a place to display the lovely old Crown Graphic camera my father restored for me. I am planning on creating a series of portraits with it as soon as the spring wedding season slows down.
