Pinch Me!
Originally published on emilie inc. photography.
I could hardly sleep last night because I was so excited for today! I
popped out of bed early for one final cleaning of the studio and a few
last minute additions to the walls before the art walk.
At 10a, the balloons and signs went up outside my door, and I started
distributing stickers on each visitor’s map- those who received a
sticker from each studio was entered to win a raffle.
I would
say, in the 6 hour span of the walk, I easily had 100 visitors. I was
very humbled by the kind people, many of whom gasped when they rounded
the corner at the top of the stairs and peeked in the studio (a few
asked if they could move in!). Everyone offered their congratulations
and “welcome to the neighborhood,” as well as tips for great brunch
spots and neighborhood organizations to join. Mothers with
not-yet-engaged daughters tucked my business cards into their purses
with a wink. People marveled at the artwork, the beautiful light in the
space, and the yummy cupcakes (yes, the mini version of my birthday
party treats- I’m hooked!). It was a long day, but boy, what a great
way to introduce emilie inc. to the East End and kick off the official
wedding season.
Once the tour wrapped up, J and I headed to
dinner at Flatbread with the emilie inc. associates and their families.
What a treat to spend an evening with Geneve, Steve & Sage, and
Wyndee, Pete, Olivia & Chloe. Really looking forward to working
with you!
Here are a few pictures of today’s set-up with the
studio’s finished look! Some of you may recognize photos of yourself on
my walls!

The work area is ready with an empty desk for a studio manager when I am ready to expand.
I’ll never pass up the opportunity to hold a baby!
My heart is very full tonight. As cliche as it sounds, I feel so very
lucky to be making my dream a reality. Thank you, everyone!! xo

WOW. This studio is gorgeous!!!
Wow! What an AMAZING studio!
Simply stunning!
When someone puts such care into creating a beautiful environment then you’re confident that same attention goes into their work. I imagine Emelie has some very satisfied clients.
And the cupcakes…yum!
Very cool feature…THANKS!
Em put so much time and effort into this space! Looking forward to the opening on this Friday!
FYI: It’s “Emilie,” not “Emelie.”
