Thankful Thursday: Studio and Family

Luke 1:46-49 "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For He hath regarded the low estate of His handmaiden:...For He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is His name."

Yesterday, I did a write up about our studio. I really am truly and deeply thankful about how the Lord has worked everything out. I'm sure on days that I have more time, I'll get more into details... But as it stands right now--our plate is pretty full today, and I need to get busy! : )

1 Samuel 12:24 "Only fear the LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things He hath done for you."

Also, I'm so thankful to Scott and Little Red. Scott has been incredible getting everything going and built. He's an AWESOME business manager! And L.R. has been such a good boy--considering all the time we have spent working at the studio... : )

God, Thank You.

Psalm 126:3 "The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad."

The Studio!

Well... You've been asking... And now it's finally here! Pics of the studio! (Ok--so maybe just Lauren and Jes have been asking--but still...)

A little background: Our studio is located in historic, Downtown Dandridge, TN. If you live 'round these parts--you'll hear our studio called the "Old Ford Building". Built in 1945--it's so cool.

Anyways, Scott and I had been praying about what to do in regards to our photography business. A lot. And, long story short--the Lord led us to and blessed us beyond measure with this building!

We had a lot on our plates! Lots to do inside to make this, once car dealership, a photo studio--and yet still retain the history and richness of the building.

Here is what it looks like right now. We still have so many plans--but all things in His time! : )

This is what you see when you walk in the front door. Scott built two rooms in the studio for changing and an office. The black door here goes to a changing room.

The closed door is the office. The open door is the changing room.

Here is our Christmas tree just for the studio! It's black and silver--and I'm crazy about it! : )

And some special ornaments "MJP". Awwww.... : )

View from the picture takin' area. Lots of wonderful, huge windows...

Our sitting area. The couch and tables were a gift. I am so thankful, grateful, and near speechless... Thank you!

Here is where some of the magic happens... : )

Where the viewing happens after a shoot.

While you sit here.

Some table decor.

I love these checker board looking things. Actually, they're place mats I found at Pier 1 on sale!! : D

This is in the changing room. I found this old window on the side of the road and fell in love! I want one for home.

The vanity and rocker in the changing area.

All of these things we found on sale in various places...

I can't express how grateful I am to God for all He had done and helped us accomplish. I am also ever so thankful to my husband and family for all they have done and helped with.

And that's pretty much it! Hope you all enjoyed!

Call and book an appointment soon!!!!!! : D

This week has been great! And I'm so thankful!

Colossians 3:15-16 "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

I'm sure that you all have noticed that our blog has been a little less than consistent lately... We have been some busy ladies! : ) I know you all understand!

One of the reasons I have been a little out of the loop lately is because we have just opened a new photography studio!!

Little Awesome Red! ; )

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : D

I'll get some pics up of the studio soon... ; )

Needless to say--that is my Thankful Thursday! God has blessed us in so many ways in getting this thing up and running! It's wonderful to see Him answering our prayers. Thank you, Lord!

Me and My Rockin' Sisters

These shots were all test shots with our new lighting... : ) Love my family!

Torturing Little Red... : )

Aren't they great test subjects?

Anyways, just thought I'd give a quick fill in to what's been going on with me lately--and what I am ever so thankful for! : )

I am also thankful for this verse. I love it. Def. one of my top favorites of all time, which I reread today and had to share...

Hebrews 12:28-29 "Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire."

We are "receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved"!!! Isn't that awesome?!?!?

Had to spread the Word! : D

Have a great Thursday and weekend!
