We closed yesterday on a house that we will be converting into my photography studio. The house was built in 1924 and has three bedrooms for shooting space/office space and 2 bathrooms. The house sits on 5 lots where I will be able to do outdoor work right on the premises, if needed. There is also a really cool screened in back porch that I can utilize. There is an efficiency apartment that will allow my kids to still be on site with me as well that sits on the back of the property, which we are so excited about! The house sits in the Pearland Old Townsite where Pearland hopes to revitalize and make that area into something similar to Old Town Spring, Texas.
It has been my dream to work out of my home and continue to be a Mom to my three kids. As time has gone on and I've accumulated more props, accessories and photography equipment I have quickly outgrown my own home space making it impossible to thrive as a family and a business in one household. Kevin and I knew that we wanted to keep my dream and style in tact so we started searching Pearland for different options. We have had counsel and help from close friends and family. They know who they all are and we can't thank them enough for their support and love during this process. There is one guy in particular that has put in a lot of his personal time and effort into this project with us (he knows who he is) and I thank him from the bottom of my heart! Not to mention, Kevin-my devoted husband, who has never faltered or denied me this crazy dream of mine. He has been a rock and my number one supporter believing in me when I didn't believe in myself. Without Kevin this would have never happened for me, for my family! The impossible (at times) has been met and we are here now getting ready to renovate a cool little house I will be able to call my studio.
The new house will be "under construction" for a month or more being painted inside and out and getting cleaned, geared toward becoming a photography studio where I can continue to cater to my maternity, newborn and older babies up to age two. We have some fun plans for this space and as time goes on I will make sure to share images and stories of the house as we transition over.
Thank you to all my clients for sharing their families with me and for letting me do what I love to do! Your babies mean the world to me and I can't put into words how amazing it feels to capture your little ones in portraits as they grow. I often want to just pinch myself because I do what I love and I get to spend time with all my wonderful clients that bless me every single day! Without you all, this wouldn't be possible and I wouldn't be sharing this with you! So-Thank you!
Here are some images of the new studio. Lots of work to be done...

I'll be sure to share more pictures as time allows and the projects start. Pray for our family as we meander our way through all of this! We truly do appreciate your support and kind words during this exciting time!
Much Love,
Aimee
