In September 2005, Steve and Sara moved from their first home to a house in Leo just North of Fort Wayne in Cedar Creek Township. It took more than a year to find the perfect place, but was worth the wait. It fit the criteria of living requirements and was perfect to take the photography business to the next level. Amenities include three acres of property, a stocked pond, mature trees and woods and most importantly a 45 X 60 Morton pole building that soon would house one of the biggest photography studios in Allen County..
Steve completed the design of the studio in December 2005. It took 4 months to make sure everything was accounted for and that space was utilized as effectively as possible.
Construction began at the end of January 2006. The pole building was previously utilized by a landscaping company, so it was very industrial and required some preparation before construction could begin. The first step was to remove everything, right down to the studs. Framing, drywall and painting followed as the studio started taking shape. Focusing on goals of versatility, variety and dynamic backgrounds all year long, the finer details became important.
Even though the studio has been completed since mid 2006, Steve claims the interior and exterior will always be changing to reflect the changing tastes of the client base. Enjoy the pictures taken along the way to document the transformation of the studio, we look forward to hearing from you!
