Turning fleeting moments into forever memories
I’m so excited to share something new for A Lovely Shade of Jade Photography.
I’ve rented a small studio space for a one-day trial run - a little test drive of what could hopefully become my future studio space. The date is March 14, 2026 and after reaching out to families who expressed interest in my last email, I still have a handful of spots I’m opening up.
