A brand new year and a brand new studio!

What a year! We started out in January still as Sullivan Studios. After going to a convention where I sat down with Jen and Steve Bebb, we decided it would be beneficial that I totally re-brand myself. I had been debating it for a while before and they solidified it for me. After that we started the change to Leslie Gilbert Photography. It wasn’t a hard change at all and people seemed to pick up on it pretty quickly. Fast forward to April when I traveled to Atlanta for another seminar, again with the Bebbs. There were about 9 of us in the seminar and we became fast friends. It seemed that we were all at the same point in our lives where we knew something needed to change. In my case, it was the studio. We have had it at our new house for about 4 years and no one really knew it was here because the outside didn’t look like anything. I was also tired of working from 7 in the morning until I went to bed. That was no life for me or my family. Over the next few months, we worked with the contractor to get everything the way we wanted. It took longer than we anticipated, but now, it is done! A completely redesigned studio! My office will be in there now and we also added a natural light studio. There are a few more finishing touches to be done and a bit of furniture to be delivered, but it is fully functional and we are ready to start a new year!! I have also been referring to WE a lot. Liesa is now going to be in the office on a regular basis to take care of administration and editing. This way we can both focus on shooting. In the spring, be on the look out for our Open House announcement as well.
This will be a long post of images from the old studio, construction and the finished product. I will have more once it is fully furnished.
Thank you to everyone for you inspiration, patience and encouragement throughout this whole process. I am truly grateful for all of you. Enjoy! Have a safe and wonderful New Year!!
