At the end of last year we did a lot of soul searching about how to take Isis to the next level.  We wanted to be able to expand our operations into portraits and offer our wedding clients a more conducive atmosphere to meet and discuss their needs. There was also the thought that although running our business from our home had worked well for the last few years it really was time to separate work from home. Having the office where you live really does mean that you can find yourself checking emails at all hours which isn't necessarily a good thing for your sanity or marriage. So we decided that we'd rent a space to call our own.  The only problem is finding affordable digs without having to break the bank can be tough.  That said, after a couple of false starts but eventually we found this place. 

 This is at the back of the Buddha building on Pine Street.  It was an art studio of some sort although there didn't appear to have been any love invested in the place.  Despite that both of us could see the potential of the place and decided that this was the future home of Isis Photography.

We set to renovating the space the 3rd week in January after we retuned from the UK.  With the help of Christa's Dad, Bob, Uncle J, Bunn Lorne Electric and the drywall wizards at Bradley's Drywall Co. we hoped to turn the space around into a fantastic studio.
