the Suitcase Studio

You probably already knew this was coming…

But after 15 years, I’m OFFICIALLY saying goodbye to my photography business (and IDENTITY) as The Suitcase Studio.

It’s time. I’m ready. And I’m excited.

Swipe for all my big thoughts & emotions. And thanks for being a part of it all. I hope you’ll stick around for what’s next. ❤️

I promised full transparency. So here goes... I’m breaking up with my business. Maybe just for a little while, but possibly forever.

I hope you'll stick around for this next part, whatever that might be.

But after 15+ years of being known as "The Suitcase Studio," I'm ready to find out who else I am, too.

Yesterday’s senior session was absolutely ✨magical✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And she would gasp aloud as I showed her the back of my camera, getting more + more excited with each new set of pics.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She told me that these were the first photos of herself that she actually really liked. Because they captured HER. ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Her mom said she really needed this.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And what I wish I could convey with all my heart is that I’d needed this, too.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because I’m not the type of artist or photographer who can create in a vacuum. I don’t often dream things up and bring them to life. My joy, my talent, is in collaboration. Where I can crawl inside your head and see who you are, feel who you are, and help bring your vision to life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that’s exactly what we did. She was my muse, and we both came alive… creating beautiful art. Together.
Sneak peek of the back of my camera. Edited photos coming soon. 😍
