As many of you may already know, my daughter and I have been working on opening up our own small photography studio. A studio that is a little different, maybe edgy, maybe odd, but always upbeat and fun for all that pass through our doors to stand in front of our cameras.
Well, the time has come for us to dive feet first into our new (ad)venture and see if we can conquer the world of "theme" photography. I will get into the concept later and explain what "theme" photography is.
STEP 1: Finding the ideal location for our studio
After looking at a few different locations, all offering something different and unique, the winner was the historic La Salle Winery in Farmington. The La Salle Winery was built in 1898 by the Detroit Railroad as a powerhouse for the electric trolleys coming in and out of the city. In 1930 it was purchased by La Salle Winery and converted just as prohibition was coming to an end into a winery. Sometime in the 1970's the winery closed shop and was purchased by St. Jullian and the building sat lonely and empty. The White Family purchased the building and property and started renovation to convert it into office space for businesses. It also has operated a local haunted house over the course of 20+ years.
I must admit that I have pondered the idea of opening a business in this building for several years. The idea always made it to paper and never any farther. Until now...
We would like to introduce sneak .a. peek PHOTOGRAPHY! We are elated to be able to take this step and see only good things coming from what we have to gain. The support from friends and family has been overwhelming and we count our blessings each and every passing hour.
We look forward to all that will be helping on this wonderful journey and excited about all our new friends that we will have the opportunity to meet.
Here are a couple of photographs of the original building and the building to date.
