Our messy middle 🫣
Renovations are in FULL swing! We are in the big push to get the space ready to open- walls are getting primed, we’re picking paint colours, wall paper and flooring! The space is suddenly VERY white while we try to figure out exactly how we’re going to make all of our ideas work in a space with 10 treatment rooms, 3 bathrooms, a staff room… and all the other little details that come with it.
It’s exciting. It’s overwhelming. It’s a lot of decisions. 😂
In the middle of all of this, my friend and cheerleader Erika from Erika Matko | Hamilton Event Photographer wanted to come in to capture the in-between!
I didn’t even think this stage was photo worthy. We really only think to really document a space or maybe even ourselves once we’re feeling ready and perfect !
But there’s something really special about having photos of the messy middle, too. I know I will deeply cherish these pictures as such a wild little phase of our collectives first chapter !
Erika is so deeply good at letting people show up exactly as they are. You don’t have to be perfectly polished or have everything figured out before your story is worth telling. She has this way of making space for the in-between, and I’m really grateful she got to capture this little chapter of our very messy overwhelming middle 🤍
So here we are… in the in between still trying to get our footings but gosh these photos make it look graceful and fun too hehe! I’m going to remember this time as the beginning of this next big scary wild chapter 💛💛💛
Thank you Erika for being you and for always cheerleading everyone 🤍
