Organization is definitely key when it comes to running a business – even more so when space is limited. So, to better organize our studio, we’re moving a few things around. But until things are back in order, we’re stuck feeling a little, well, surrounded.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, there is a very large piece of Tres Leches cake waiting for me in my fridge…

Another hectic week… thank goodness it’s the weekend!

Wherever you look in our studio there seems to be a measuring tool of sorts. Somehow though, they all disappear when you actually need to use one. Funny how that works.
Happy weekend everyone! I’m off to watch the snow fall…

This time in color! I’ll try and post some photos of this particular job next week.

A bit late in posting today – but I’m totally blaming it on the weather. Snow has arrived and since we rarely get any here it’s all I can think about at the moment. I can’t wait to get outside with the camera tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone!

We thought it would be fun to start posting a few photos from around the studio. Despite any lazy blogging habits of the past, the plan is to continue with this every Friday. Who knows what will show up – just whatever looked interesting through the viewfinder that week. Be sure to stop by again for a little peek!

P.S. Be very glad I went with black and white. Otherwise, that photo of the ink looks more like a scene out of a horror film rather than a press room.
