History
Established in 2010.
I turned my photography habit into a full time business in 2010, and moved my home studio into a beautiful barn studio space in 2013. I shoot weddings and commercial photography on location, and headshots and portraits in the studio. Family portraits are in multiple locations: bluff of Mobile Bay, beach at the gulf, my studio courtyard, and in family homes.

THE LONG VERSION

Hey, how are you? Thanks for your interest in Blue Room!
MY PHOTOGRAPHY STORY I have a Bachelor's Degree in Communications from New College at the University of Alabama, plus a Certificate of Photography from University of South Alabama. I was a student of film photography for years, and black and white film photography was my hobby! My hobby turned into a career beginning with a Communications Director position in the office of the Episcopal Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast. In addition to creating and managing the diocesan website, I took photographs in Episcopal churches across the Gulf Coast, using a Canon Rebel, a Canon "point and shoot" and a couple of my older film cameras. In 2010 I succumbed to my addiction and purchased my first professional level digital camera, a Canon 5D Mark II, and started my wedding and portrait photography business from my home. |
THE STUDIO STORY
|
The afternoon that a long awaited box arrived from Canon with my first PRO LEVEL CAMERA, I was so excited that I tore into the box and began walking around the neighborhood taking photos. I returned at dusk and all of the lights in my house were on, including the bedroom I was using as my editing room. The room's walls are a Martha Stewart color named named "Milk Paint" from Sherwin Williams. I also had small blueish halogen desk lights turned on. All of the windows in my house were glowing with the GE golden light except for the one window belonging to the office. The light coming from that window was SO BLUE. Quite honestly, it looked terrible from the street because it was so different from the other windows. BUT it ultimately served a purpose! I had been struggling with a name for my business, and although most people use their own name for their photography business, my business class at USA recommended using a third party name in case you want to ever sell the business or have children take it over at some point. So after seeing the blue room window, I lamely named my photography business BLUE ROOM PHOTOGRAPHY.

I moved into my current studio in 2013. Its a great looking space in a barn studio behind the law firm of Coumanis & York. I rent from my buddies at Ashurst & Neimeyer on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay. In my current studio there is hardly any blue except for four blue cushions. Everything is white or khaki! But I do have a blue rug on my wish list! The studio is constantly being rearranged depending on the type of shoot we have planned. But for the most part, it is set up for the two things we do most frequently in the studio.....meetings and headshots! I have samples of albums, enlargements, and a collection of old film and video cameras. Its a wonderful place to be everyday! Come visit me, bring your laptop and use my wifi. I have a nespresso coffee machine and I love company! Text me to be sure I am at the studio: 251.509.6635 |
