Springfield, Missouri
STARTED
How It All
The idea for opening this studio came about when we wanted to provide Springfield with a unique, all-white, multi-purpose space!
In October 2022, my husband encouraged to open up my dream studio & share it with the local community! I started to plan and create a Pinterest board of what my ideal studio space would look like! With the help of my husband & our families, the studio began to be put together! I’m also a photographer & I designed our studio in a way to best fit the photographer eye! Our aesthetic is modern, earthy & airy! We wanted to keep it simple so that each session can be unique, and our guests can create their own sets, and/or use what we already have set up!
Fast forward to 2 months later (Dec. 3, 2022), The Avalon Studio was officially open to the public! At the end of this year, we will officially hit 2 years of being in business! Woohoo!
We still have a long ways to go to make the studio represent our initial vision! Day by day, we are making changes and updates to have our space reflect our dream studio for Springfield, MO! Follow along on our journey via social media to see more updates!
