Now that the armoire is built and the couch has arrived, we spent some time yesterday installing some things. I wanted the studio to be a cozy extension of my home – and I’m just beyond thrilled with how it’s all pulling together!
This is inside the shooting room (windows are behind where I’m standing). A comfy couch where my new parents can sit while I photograph their wee ones. The canvases on the wall are a 24×30 and two 16x24s.

A close-up of the gallery-wrapped canvases. I love canvas. Sigh…

And the armoire. For those who don’t know, Vic is a craftsman and his hobby is making fine furniture. How lucky am I?
When it came time to select something for my bowl/blanket storage, I showed him this, and asked for distressed black & a bit taller with no drawers, just shelves:

And he built this:

Perfection. It fits all of my blankets and favorite baskets & bowls. When my clients are here for their newborn session, we’ll be able to browse together to find just the right props!
Next up is the conversation area, which I can show you after he’s finished with this, which is downstairs being painted right now.![]()
