. are you interested to hear about how the studio came to be ? if so, keep reading...

. the beginning of last winter while rearranging my living room and dining room again, and wondering how i was going to incorporate studio lighting, i came to the realization that this set up couldn't go on much longer if i was going to grow my business the way i wanted . i decided it was time to start looking for a space of some sort to shoot in until someday when we can turn one of these old out buildings on this farm into a studio . with where i wanted to keep my budget a few of the places i checked into were for sure out . i thought more about my location and decided to check out riverside . there on main street sat 5 empty buildings so i started writing down phone numbers . weeks went by with calls and returned calls . then finally, i made connections and was able to look at a potential space . as soon as i walked in i saw the possibilities . i also saw much work needed to be done, but i knew it could work .

. my expectations in the beginning was just to find a small, cheap space to do a few session indoors when the weather was bad . i'm so excited to have found that and so much more with this space . it's a store front, on a main highway with amazing natural light and once it's all said and done it'll be pretty awesome (although not perfect so don't bring your magnifying glass) . i feel blessed to have found this space and i'm so excited about this new chapter of

. sarahnebelphotgraphy .

. thanks so much, to you, my friends and family for your support and excitement right along with me . you're response to the studio has been overwhelming . can't wait to see you at the open house !

. this photo was taken in march . i've done just a little work to the outside of it and am in the process of a little more . but it'll look pretty much the same .
