New studio update!

Not only have we fully moved into our new studio location, but business is also moving along well. This is the path to our indoor shooting space and soon the entire 3 acres will be utilized as the ground dries up and the leaves and flowers break through.

Having a full service indoor and outdoor studio means that we can always be photographing, no matter what the weather! This is a great time to be thinking about and scheduling your spring and summer portraits. When was the last time you updated your family portrait? There is no better time than the present! Remember that Mother's day is just around the corner!

Happy Birthday Photogenesis!

30 years ago this month Barb Priestap opened Photogenesis Photography. She declares that it was truly a work of the Lord as she and several friends began tearing down old walls and raising new ones to create the former space on 26th and Myrtle. Shortly thereafter she was able to begin photographing seniors, weddings and families. At first, every senior session was a free session just to bring them in the door. After a constant work schedule and busy weekends, Barb quit her full time teaching job at Mercyhurst Prep school to concentrate on just building the photography business.

Barb was a pioneer. 30 years ago there were very few female photographers. The ratio of male to female photographers, at least in this area, was very lopsided. Barb entered this territory very bravely and successfully mastered her craft by continuing her education, accepting challenging assignments and perfecting her portraiture.

A room with a view

                                                           Welcome to my new office!

One great thing about my new work space is that there is a window! In the past I was working in a dark room in the back corner of the studio with no window or fresh air. what does this mean for you, the client? Sunlight and fresh air can only ADD to the fresh ideas that I will be bringing to you as our studio continues to create fresh and memorable portraits for your family.

 After less than one week in our new space I am up and rolling! The new office is fully functional and productive! Great things are just around the corner. Keep checking back!
