Tour of Larkin Photography - Pre-opening

Well, lucky for everyone, I finally decided to charge my camera and videotaped a little sneak peak tour of our studio before it is actually finished. Excuse my nastiness, it was really warm in there, since I had the windows open to air out the paint fumes. I hope you enjoy!

Some more catch up!

Wow, July and August were crazy months. Adam and I got engaged. My sweetie finally asked me to officially spend the rest of our lives together. It wasn't anything special really. On July 2nd we played "hot, warm, cold" around the house until I finally found the ring. I had an idea since I assisted in picking out the ring. It consists of several princess cut diamonds. The center, of course the largest, with two supporting diamond sidekicks. Next to those are about 5 or 6 smaller diamonds finished off on the front and back of the ring two diamond chips. See below for a visual. Not sure if this is the ring, but it is the basic layout.

Hrmm. we also decided to venture off on our own and rent our own studio instead of renting someone elses. Our studio is located in downtown Midland on the Larkin Block, right above Oscars on Main Street.

We are currently renovating the place to fit the business's personality but should be open for appointments only mid-September. No pictures of this yet, but I wish we could have gotten pictures of the demo. Adam, Terry (Adam's friend) and I went all gangster on a counter that was in there and we did a major beat down. I finally got to kick a hole in a wall, but I got my shoe stuck. It was a great time.

I got a new piece of equipment for the studio. A Nikon D300. It is a very smooth camera and I enjoyed it thoroughly when I did senior pictures for a gal from my old stomping ground, Western High School. See below for the some of my favorites from the final cuts:
