I’ve been a little bit MIA this week, but it’s for an awesome reason; we just moved! The moving isn’t even the cool part, it’s WHERE we moved that’s awesome. We’re now living in the Artist Lofts off of Pacific/Commerce. It’s right next to UW, above the Harmon, Urban Xchange, & Cutters Point Coffee (DIRECTLY above Cutters Point. There’s a staircase pretty much leading from our apartment door to the back of the coffee shop).
This is an awesome live/work space, which means that it’s going to be the home for Sara Montour Photography, as well. From my photos you can tell that I prefer to shoot outdoors. Laura and I had 3 different studios during our BeeTour years and always laughed about it because we would meet at the studio and then immediately go outside to shoot. This is the best of both worlds. A great place to meet and hang out (escape from the rain), pick up orders, view your photos, but when it’s time to shoot we head out to our location. Photography has always been such a personal thing for me and one of the most important aspects of it is the connection. The connection between the people that I’m photographing, and the connection between me and those people. I’d rather get to really know you than just book a session, hand you your photos, and send you on your way. I also KNOW that building that connection allows me to capture much better raw+real moments during your sessions. I love that now I’m able to bring you into my home, my space, and share that with you, as well.
We’re going to be having a studio opening/house warming/excuse for a photo booth sometime in the next couple of months, so if you want to know the details drop me a line here or in the comments and I’ll keep you updated (pinky promise not to send you SPAM).
I’m going to do another WHERE WE STAY post on the Vagabond Bond once we get all of our stuff moved in, but if you want to see it I did post a few cell phone photos on facebook and I’m sure I’ll be posting more soon (I can’t help it; I’m so excited!).
Ok, I can’t resist. Here’s one:
Wha?! Spiral staircase? Yes, please! Green wall? Yes, please! Skylight? Yes, please! Ridiculously high ceilings with giant windows at the top? SWOON.
Scott and I are fighting the urge to go full Big in this place; trampoline and all.
How about some photos? Scott and I wandered around outside the Tacoma Museum of Glass in December and I realized that I never shared these moments. Enjoy!
what inspires YOU?
