Finally I feel like a 'grown up'. I've been in this space now for 4 months and it's feeling more and more like my home away from home. The coffee machine was a must, the rocking chair was my vision from the start, and the natural light bursting in through the stunning windows won me over the minute I viewed the space.
There's always a lot to be said for the energy of a creative space, and from the moment I walked in I could just see how it would look... me working and creating gorgeous images, settling babies, parents enjoying a coffee and a bite to eat... and those floor boards... oh sweet heaven, I just had to make it mine.
The creative inspiration from the space has been nothing short of exciting, and now... after all these years as a photographer the simple act of having a 'space' has made me feel like 'professional'. I know it seems silly, especially after over 13 years in the industry, but actually having a space to work in has been a long time coming.
I no longer do in home sessions unless under exceptional circumstances, (I do still travel interstate and across Victoria for newborn and maternity sessions on specific request.) The fact that I now have one child in school and one child in care for specific days per week, utilising the time available has become my priority. All this said, I am aware of the chaos surrounding getting out of the house for a newborn session and for this reason session times are still flexible.
Here's the space, where my creativity flows... and some images from some of the first sessions.
