Drum roll please….. I’m out-of-my-mind excited! Blush Imagery is moving to a gorgeous new studio in downtown Portland this week. I’m moving very fast to accommodate the wedding season and hope to be settled in by mid June. For starters here’s the new address.

Blush Imagery LLC
28 Maple Street
3rd Floor, Left
Portland, ME 04101
207.899.5585
Now for the good stuff…. My space is a whopping 1100 sq. feet on the third floor of a beautiful brick building over a Portland, Maine staple: the popular Portland Pie Company.
The studio has vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick walls , an extra office, enclosed studio room, kitchenette, cool glass interior doors, fabulous views and a creative layout. This space is simply awesome.
I can not wait to decorate this bad boy! I have a lot of painting to do! Here are the before pics as they finish priming and construction for us. My daughter Maggie, 2, is the blurry object running around in the above snap shot.
This dream of mine is happening thanks to my whole business team:
Thanks mostly to Loren Ayer of Harborview Properties, my commercial agent and friend who landed this space for me. Loren found my first office too. He’s amazing. Eventually he’s going to help me buy a building… but I plan on being in this shop for a very, very long time. Thanks Loren… seriously, I could not do this without you. You are fabulous! (Thanks for putting up with my “what if we get a light bulb tester next door?” questions.)
And special thanks to my existing landlords in Falmouth, Sue and Paul at Peerless Paint for giving me a lovely home for the past years. It was a perfect meet and greet office! I’m sad to leave. I will miss all my chicks at 196! Especially to my gal pal Renie at Still Point, my friend and confidant, I cherish you!
Thanks to my new landlord’s Nat and Steve with Portland Pie Company for doing an incredible job on getting me in this fabulous space so fast! I know this is a start of a great relationship.
To my banker, Ben at Key Bank, for the quick answers with constant support and encouragement. I am so lucky I know you! You rock and I can’t wait to photograph your wedding this fall!
To Kim, my lawyer at Preti-Flaherty and her team for setting up my corporation so fast to make this move happen!
To David Thomas Associates, my accountant, who was on vacation as I made these fast decisions… but I’m sure will help me make sense of this mass project when he gets back!
To Brian and Maggie, you guys are my north, south, east and west— my everything. To my folks, Patty and Tom, for being the emotional rocks of our family. Move to Maine already!
More exciting Blush Imagery news to come throughout the week! This is just day 1!

Someone has got it in for me! On June 24, 2009 I will be arrested— for a good cause. I was turned in by someone in Maine to be a business leader in the 2009 Falmouth Lock Up to benefit the local Muscular Dystrophy Association. Whoever turned me in is now conveniently in the “witness protection program.” (I will find you.) Anyway, I have to raise my bail to get out by June 9.
We have a new and fabulous newsletter!
