Studio Part 2 (Walls are up)

Studio Update: Walls are up!  : )  The sheet rock is in place and the studio already feels more cozy!  We are loving the layout (which I know you can barely understand through these pictures) and the high open ceilings.  We plan to keep the rafters and duct work visible to really give that downtown/loft/studio feel.  Exciting note....Our lights have arrived and we are SOOOO excited about them!  Can't wait to get those plugged in.   Most of you are thinking "lights? ok..." and I completely understand.  But, for us...it's the little little things that get us going!

Stay tuned in the next coming weeks.  We've got paint, trim, flooring all coming up soon!!  : )

Oh. SO. EXCITED.

Friends!! We've been dying to announce this post for some time now and have secretly been enjoying all the random guesses from our friends & family.  We've had all sorts of funny & crazy guesses with 'baby' being at the top of the list.  While baby fever might be rising just a tad bit for us at this stage in our life...for now...we will continue living vicariously through our friends.  ; )

So, first big news is this...our BLOG!  : )  Jeff and I are excited to have a place on the web to share our lives with you all.  Mainly, we will use our blog to share our most recent photo shoots; Weddings, engagements, seniors, newborns, etc.  But, we also want to share some behind the lens more personal posts.  We want to create a place where we are able to document our lives but we also want to create a place where you can get to know us better, get to know what we do, and what our lives are like photographing life!  : )

OK...so here is the VERY EXCITING NEWS part.......We are officially opening our very 1st STUDIO!!!  We are building Jeff Sampson Photography's home base here in Sioux Falls!  : )  At the very moment we are busy, busy with floor plan designs, wall colors, picking out lighting (who knew all the options?),decorations, etc.  Building is in process and our estimated "finish" date will be sometime in April/early May.  Eeeek, excited!  As this whole amazing adventure unfolds we will, of course, be documenting with pictures and will keep you all updated!

We hope you join our adventure.   We would be honored to have you be part of our lives!

XOXO,

Valerie & Jeff
