BIG NEWS!!!

I'm sooooo excited!  Urban Photography has found a new home at last!  yea!!  

We just picked up the keys yesterday.  It's been a long search for the PERFECT place since we left our Plano office in Sept.  Then the holiday rush hit us so we had to put it off for awhile...but we now officially have our new studio in Dallas!  

Here's a few details:

• 1400 sq ft loft studio with original brick walls and warehouse windows
• located just east of Deep Ellum in Exposition Park
• a DART station is being built 3 blocks away (sept 2009)
• it will house an office and production area, consultation room, natural light photo studio, reception area, and a lounge built specifically for HS seniors

JACK'S BF: And I have a friend at Architectural Digest. He wants to do an article on the renovation. I see a picture of you in whatever we renovate doing this: [POSES, HOLDING HIS ARMS OUT, AS IF TO SHOW OFF THE APARTMENT.]

GRACE: [GASPS] I love doing this [GRACE HOLDS OUT HER ARMS]. Especially in pictures!

here's the shoot room...

see?

taking a test shot of Shannon...she's such a good poser!

the big tease.  our view from the windows allows us sight of just the tippy-tops of the dallas skyline.

if only someone would demolish that piece of highway there...perhaps the trolls that live beneath could be persuaded?

our architect (and neighbor) William doing a field survey and taping outlines of where the walls will be built.  

the bathroom.  yep.

me being a goofball..is that one word or two?

so that's the skinny!  we're going to be building over the next few weeks but hope to be totally "in" by March 1st.  I can't wait.

i {heart} it.  :)
