Life has been so busy for me. We’re all busy! But I’ve never known a busy like this before and it’s been a distraction for what’s to come.
It finally hit me. 🥺

We haven’t made a “public announcement” but we both are at peace with our decision we made several months ago. It’s completely bitter-sweet.

I met my business partner (Cindy) at a wedding show, in 2009!

We had already been shooting for a few years before joining forces. We waited a year on renovations and finally opened the doors in 2011.

We will host our last annual Santa minis in the studio this weekend and we will be closing the studio doors the end of this month. White Rust will still be operating, but no longer within a studio.

The memories, the milestones, and the moments captured for decades and GENERATIONS to forever look back on is what we walk away with, inside… knowing we have made some sort of impression on someone else’s life through our lens.

10 years owning a studio and 14 years as a photographer… there’s been many ups and downs — but I have to say, I don’t think I could have had a better studio partner. We’ve seen it all, photographed it all and have been through a lot personally. (If only those walls could talk!)

Here’s to the future!
Whatever that may be!
