Grand Opening Preview Party: Our Photo Studio in West Hartford Center!
We are officially out of our home…and into our new store in the ‘Center! West Hartford Center, that is. After many months of build out and prep Jane and I’ve opened a photography studio & store right down the road from our home (bike to work!) at 10 LaSalle Road in West Hartford, next door to Lululemon across the street from Starbucks. Love the WeHa Ctr neighborhood…seems like there should be a subway stop just around the corner!
For the store layout, we worked with our friend and amazing designer, Shelley Dodd of West Hartford, who designed the front as a photo gallery that could double as a shooting space for photographing with natural light or strobes. The mid-section–with couch and flatscreen tv–is for clients to view their images, and we have our office in the back. A few weeks back we had a preview party with clients and friends and sipped a few Kir Royales to toast our new venture. Here are some photos from the party–a big thanks to our friend Liz Calvi for photographing the evening! Next time you’re in the Center stop in and say hi..we’re at 10 LaSalle Road. You can see more of Liz’s pics here…

reStore: Clyde from Falcon Sign in East Granby CT
You know your business is real when the sign goes up. Until that moment passers-by didn’t stop and talk with us, but when Clyde Grindal from Falcon Sign and Awning in East Granby CT installed our IRIS Photography sign on our 10 LaSalle Rd store in February…we met several of our neighbors on the sidewalk.
In our build-out we wanted to open up the front of the store. So we took the awning off the front window and it was like lifting your visor. And we wanted the sign to work with the brick facade, not cover it up. Clyde came up with a perfect solution with the white lettering and lattice work that blends into the rust-colored brick.
Clyde’s been in the sign biz for 18 years and in his off-time he likes to run and hike on trails in the Granby area and beyond. If you’re looking for signage or awnings, visit Falcon Sign. Thanks Clyde!
