Stephen Andrews Photography: Renovating, reconstructing, new beginnings....2010

Hello from Stephen Andrews Studios. It's been over a year now since we've updated our blog. Since last year Stephen Andrews has had some great new challenges and exciting ventures. We will now have other team members contributing to our blog to keep everyone abreast on our adventures, shoots, random thoughts and discussions. My name is Diane, the studio art director. I've seen Stephen's first steps into photography eons ago, and thrilled to be a part of his growth as a wonderful photographer. As of 2010 we've gained another head photographer named Leo, who has over 15 years of professional event photography experience. We also welcomed a new in-house videographer, Joe, who has worked alongside Leo for numerous years. Mike also comes on staff as an experienced, talented designer. Aside from our in-house staff, we work with a list of well experienced, wonderful group of freelance photographers, designers, videographers and video editors. (Headshots coming soon!)

With the expansion of our staff, we've expanded our studio space and are now in the midst of expanding further by moving our photography studio from the 2nd floor space to occupy a former dance studio on the first floor.....it's going to be lots of work to renovate but we're determined to have it up and running soon. See the photos below BUT just to note, these photos are from my Blackberry and in no way represents the brilliant shots the photographers would've taken if they were in at the time I decided to take them (...I was threatened -politely- to make sure I made that clear. ha!ha!ha!).

Picture nice white walls and new floors.

Bye, bye graffiti walls...

...bye, bye mirrored walls

AAANNNND aside from our new studio renovation, I forgot to mention our new printing capabilities. We can now print large format posters and photos! What a convenient edition! We are also renovating and beautifying the bar/cafe space we have where clients and staff can soon enjoy coffee, beverages and snacks when they come in for meetings and/or shoots! yum, yum! Come over and relax!
