The Loft Studio: An Artistic Journey from Photography to Wellness

1
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:09,790
Becks.

2
00:00:09,951 --> 00:00:10,671
Yep.

3
00:00:10,716 --> 00:00:12,361
Wh where are we?

4
00:00:12,681 --> 00:00:15,906
That we just went through
a shanty town out there.

5
00:00:16,776 --> 00:00:17,766
And is that true?

6
00:00:18,061 --> 00:00:19,566
It, but it looks rough out there.

7
00:00:19,566 --> 00:00:23,196
But now we're inside and I'm
looking, and I do see a sign.

8
00:00:23,256 --> 00:00:24,216
It says The Loft studio.

9
00:00:24,216 --> 00:00:24,456
Is it?

10
00:00:24,636 --> 00:00:25,266
What is this?

11
00:00:25,386 --> 00:00:26,766
This is a loft studio.

12
00:00:26,766 --> 00:00:28,206
We are in Lehigh.

13
00:00:28,206 --> 00:00:32,766
I know that you don't venture out of, you
know, salt Lake County very often, but

14
00:00:32,766 --> 00:00:35,556
here we are in Utah County at the loft.

15
00:00:35,766 --> 00:00:37,086
We're gonna go in here and check.

16
00:00:37,146 --> 00:00:38,346
I know, I just, I just screwed.

17
00:00:38,346 --> 00:00:38,526
Screwed.

18
00:00:38,526 --> 00:00:38,618
What happened here?

19
00:00:38,618 --> 00:00:39,136
I just grew.

20
00:00:39,136 --> 00:00:40,816
I got the, I got the hills on today.

21
00:00:40,816 --> 00:00:41,176
Blaine.

22
00:00:41,176 --> 00:00:42,316
I look like a giant right now.

23
00:00:42,316 --> 00:00:42,856
That was wild.

24
00:00:42,856 --> 00:00:46,306
So we're gonna go in and we're gonna go
talk to our, uh, good friend Jessica,

25
00:00:46,306 --> 00:00:47,986
who is gonna show us around the studio.

26
00:00:47,991 --> 00:00:48,301
Let's do that.

27
00:00:48,301 --> 00:00:48,861
Let, let's see.

28
00:00:48,861 --> 00:00:49,141
Jessica,

29
00:00:49,281 --> 00:00:49,821
you in here?

30
00:00:50,461 --> 00:00:51,101
I sure am.

31
00:00:51,521 --> 00:00:51,821
She is.

32
00:00:51,886 --> 00:00:53,501
Let's get the look at the camera booth.

33
00:00:53,981 --> 00:00:54,221
I love it.

34
00:00:54,796 --> 00:00:56,056
Welcome, welcome.

35
00:00:56,116 --> 00:00:56,296
Thank you.

36
00:00:57,406 --> 00:00:58,456
Yeah, come on in and

37
00:00:59,386 --> 00:01:00,706
we're gonna set this over here.

38
00:01:00,796 --> 00:01:01,606
Oh, this is

39
00:01:01,606 --> 00:01:02,746
beautiful.

40
00:01:02,746 --> 00:01:04,576
I love the lighting in here.

41
00:01:04,636 --> 00:01:05,596
Wow.

42
00:01:05,626 --> 00:01:06,226
Thank you.

43
00:01:06,226 --> 00:01:07,396
Now what is this place?

44
00:01:07,456 --> 00:01:07,876
What is this?

45
00:01:08,766 --> 00:01:10,866
I mean, this is, what
do you want it to be?

46
00:01:10,866 --> 00:01:11,946
Yeah, what do you want it to be?

47
00:01:12,036 --> 00:01:14,196
Well, I'm looking around and I see like

48
00:01:15,426 --> 00:01:17,106
some old school structure.

49
00:01:19,251 --> 00:01:22,311
Uh, the, the flooring is original.

50
00:01:22,341 --> 00:01:23,691
Don't you love this?

51
00:01:23,721 --> 00:01:23,901
Yes.

52
00:01:23,931 --> 00:01:25,911
Oh, I love this original flooring.

53
00:01:25,911 --> 00:01:26,121
Yeah.

54
00:01:26,301 --> 00:01:27,111
The lighting said

55
00:01:27,111 --> 00:01:31,311
we came through shaky
town, but inside says

56
00:01:31,311 --> 00:01:32,511
Blaine with his accent.

57
00:01:32,511 --> 00:01:32,751
That's true.

58
00:01:34,426 --> 00:01:34,836
This is

59
00:01:34,836 --> 00:01:35,236
beautiful.

60
00:01:35,236 --> 00:01:35,238
This is

61
00:01:35,661 --> 00:01:36,921
like a treasure right here.

62
00:01:37,581 --> 00:01:38,061
Thank you.

63
00:01:38,061 --> 00:01:41,601
Well, I found this and it's
over a hundred years old.

64
00:01:41,631 --> 00:01:42,051
Wow.

65
00:01:42,441 --> 00:01:44,721
Uh, very historic building.

66
00:01:44,721 --> 00:01:45,351
Oh, it's so.

67
00:01:46,761 --> 00:01:47,151
I it?

68
00:01:47,151 --> 00:01:49,536
Yes, I would say happily haunted.

69
00:01:49,596 --> 00:01:50,097
Oh, happily haunted.

70
00:01:50,301 --> 00:01:51,321
Happily haunted.

71
00:01:51,381 --> 00:01:51,621
There

72
00:01:51,621 --> 00:01:56,541
is a really positive, amazing energy in
here, so I would have to agree with you.

73
00:01:56,631 --> 00:01:56,991
Yeah.

74
00:01:57,591 --> 00:02:01,216
I'm sure there's a story there, but let's,
let's, I wanna see what we got in here.

75
00:02:01,256 --> 00:02:02,256
I want to take, take a look.

76
00:02:02,446 --> 00:02:04,251
Yeah, let's go check it out.

77
00:02:04,341 --> 00:02:04,791
Okay.

78
00:02:04,791 --> 00:02:05,301
Barn doors.

79
00:02:05,301 --> 00:02:06,056
I love blind doors.

80
00:02:06,236 --> 00:02:06,896
All Blaine.

81
00:02:06,896 --> 00:02:07,056
Yes.

82
00:02:07,341 --> 00:02:08,091
Sounds really good.

83
00:02:08,091 --> 00:02:08,361
Go get

84
00:02:08,361 --> 00:02:08,721
Blaine.

85
00:02:08,721 --> 00:02:09,621
The full initial.

86
00:02:10,221 --> 00:02:11,001
Full official tour.

87
00:02:11,066 --> 00:02:12,016
Retro couch.

88
00:02:13,101 --> 00:02:13,581
Retro,

89
00:02:13,581 --> 00:02:14,421
but brand new.

90
00:02:15,051 --> 00:02:16,041
Yeah, exactly.

91
00:02:16,116 --> 00:02:16,356
You're kidding

92
00:02:17,046 --> 00:02:17,556
is brand new?

93
00:02:18,276 --> 00:02:18,576
Yep.

94
00:02:18,636 --> 00:02:19,116
Look brand new.

95
00:02:19,116 --> 00:02:19,956
Nice.

96
00:02:19,956 --> 00:02:20,761
Oh, world Market.

97
00:02:20,761 --> 00:02:22,986
This looks right from the seventies.

98
00:02:23,501 --> 00:02:23,721
Oh,

99
00:02:24,311 --> 00:02:24,601
this

100
00:02:24,606 --> 00:02:26,016
is my childhood right now.

101
00:02:26,316 --> 00:02:27,726
Nobody's interview that couch.

102
00:02:28,176 --> 00:02:31,566
You gotta have color and
creativity in this space.

103
00:02:31,566 --> 00:02:32,886
And so here you go.

104
00:02:32,976 --> 00:02:33,786
This is nice.

105
00:02:33,786 --> 00:02:34,441
She says that and

106
00:02:34,446 --> 00:02:35,436
she's got these nice shoes.

107
00:02:35,436 --> 00:02:35,826
And look at these.

108
00:02:35,826 --> 00:02:36,426
I know.

109
00:02:36,426 --> 00:02:36,966
Check those

110
00:02:36,966 --> 00:02:37,476
out.

111
00:02:37,476 --> 00:02:39,966
I gotta zoom in on the
shoes because, hello.

112
00:02:39,966 --> 00:02:40,476
I saw this,

113
00:02:41,901 --> 00:02:43,896
but she's got more space out here too.

114
00:02:43,986 --> 00:02:44,286
Yeah.

115
00:02:44,316 --> 00:02:44,796
Okay.

116
00:02:44,796 --> 00:02:44,916
And.

117
00:02:45,621 --> 00:02:47,086
We gotta check out the back room.

118
00:02:47,116 --> 00:02:47,528
It's a back room.

119
00:02:47,533 --> 00:02:47,751
Well

120
00:02:48,141 --> 00:02:49,011
watch this.

121
00:02:49,191 --> 00:02:49,671
Oh, let's see this.

122
00:02:49,731 --> 00:02:50,841
This is kind of funny.

123
00:02:50,841 --> 00:02:53,931
Oh, there's no nothing entrance.

124
00:02:54,471 --> 00:02:56,151
Kate, I have to tell you why.

125
00:02:56,181 --> 00:03:00,021
You're gonna see why in just a minute,
because that used to be storage.

126
00:03:00,081 --> 00:03:00,441
Okay.

127
00:03:00,471 --> 00:03:04,071
But we covered it up so that you
could have more real estate with

128
00:03:04,071 --> 00:03:05,901
your events and your photo shoots.

129
00:03:06,291 --> 00:03:07,851
'cause you were asking what is this place?

130
00:03:08,676 --> 00:03:10,626
Photography and event studio.

131
00:03:10,686 --> 00:03:11,136
Okay.

132
00:03:11,256 --> 00:03:11,706
Alright.

133
00:03:11,766 --> 00:03:14,946
And so just beyond these barn
doors, there's another room.

134
00:03:15,156 --> 00:03:15,936
Let's check it out.

135
00:03:16,086 --> 00:03:16,926
Let's go check it out.

136
00:03:16,986 --> 00:03:17,256
Yep.

137
00:03:17,256 --> 00:03:18,471
I thought it was like a bathroom.

138
00:03:22,236 --> 00:03:22,836
Oh wow.

139
00:03:22,896 --> 00:03:23,796
Yes.

140
00:03:24,126 --> 00:03:25,356
Now next, walk us through this one.

141
00:03:25,476 --> 00:03:25,986
Oh, okay.

142
00:03:26,131 --> 00:03:26,351
So,

143
00:03:26,436 --> 00:03:31,026
so Jessica in her, what, a few years back?

144
00:03:31,026 --> 00:03:32,256
A couple years back, yes.

145
00:03:32,286 --> 00:03:33,606
Was once a photographer?

146
00:03:33,816 --> 00:03:33,996
Yes.

147
00:03:33,996 --> 00:03:35,616
So this, she's owned this space.

148
00:03:36,186 --> 00:03:38,286
Still is, still is they're
always a photographer.

149
00:03:38,286 --> 00:03:39,006
Yes, she's, yes.

150
00:03:39,006 --> 00:03:39,426
Yes.

151
00:03:39,456 --> 00:03:41,166
But she's owned this space for 11 years.

152
00:03:41,166 --> 00:03:41,791
Is that right, Jess?

153
00:03:41,791 --> 00:03:42,591
Yes, you're right.

154
00:03:42,596 --> 00:03:47,406
And um, it really spoke to her photography
roots when she first purchased this place.

155
00:03:47,406 --> 00:03:49,896
And I know you have a story around
that, but you can really see.

156
00:03:49,926 --> 00:03:54,636
See those elements come out with the
different textures on the walls and

157
00:03:54,846 --> 00:03:56,496
But go ahead and tell your story, Jess.

158
00:03:56,496 --> 00:03:56,856
Well,

159
00:03:56,856 --> 00:03:58,116
that was the intention.

160
00:03:58,116 --> 00:04:02,346
In fact, I actually wasn't even looking
for a studio when I found this place.

161
00:04:02,436 --> 00:04:07,416
It found me, and I happened
to go into the antique shop.

162
00:04:07,506 --> 00:04:07,836
Oh yeah.

163
00:04:07,836 --> 00:04:08,406
That was there.

164
00:04:08,436 --> 00:04:08,736
Yes.

165
00:04:08,736 --> 00:04:09,636
Right across the street here.

166
00:04:09,636 --> 00:04:09,966
Yep.

167
00:04:10,026 --> 00:04:13,506
And they were trying to
figure out why I was there.

168
00:04:13,566 --> 00:04:15,726
I was there for props for a photo shoot.

169
00:04:15,786 --> 00:04:17,316
Mm. And.

170
00:04:17,916 --> 00:04:22,296
The guy running that shop was like,
oh, we need to go show you this space.

171
00:04:22,746 --> 00:04:23,226
Oh, okay.

172
00:04:23,286 --> 00:04:28,866
The moment he showed me, and you have to
keep in mind, it was dark, no windows.

173
00:04:28,956 --> 00:04:30,036
Oh, no windows.

174
00:04:30,066 --> 00:04:30,216
None

175
00:04:30,216 --> 00:04:31,746
of this was in mm-hmm.

176
00:04:31,776 --> 00:04:33,156
Birds flying through.

177
00:04:34,026 --> 00:04:34,386
Oh my gosh.

178
00:04:34,386 --> 00:04:36,696
It, it, I think it was
summer, so it was really hot.

179
00:04:36,696 --> 00:04:42,036
No, no AC and I instantly knew,
oh, it's a photography studio.

180
00:04:42,396 --> 00:04:43,476
It just spoke to you.

181
00:04:43,506 --> 00:04:43,836
Yep.

182
00:04:43,896 --> 00:04:44,916
You're like, this is my sink.

183
00:04:44,916 --> 00:04:45,966
And I could see it in my head.

184
00:04:45,966 --> 00:04:49,716
And it took probably a year and
a half with like architects and

185
00:04:49,716 --> 00:04:54,006
the actual owner of the building
and putting it all together Wow.

186
00:04:54,036 --> 00:04:55,926
Before it actually came together.

187
00:04:55,986 --> 00:04:56,076
Mm-hmm.

188
00:04:56,316 --> 00:04:59,826
But I saw the vision and
I couldn't let it go.

189
00:05:00,246 --> 00:05:00,606
Oh my word.

190
00:05:00,636 --> 00:05:03,846
And it just, I knew that if
it was supposed to happen, it

191
00:05:03,846 --> 00:05:05,286
would, it would kind of unfold.

192
00:05:05,286 --> 00:05:06,246
So Yeah.

193
00:05:06,246 --> 00:05:09,726
And then like having all of these
different backgrounds really, it, it.

194
00:05:10,131 --> 00:05:12,321
The intention was for photography.

195
00:05:12,471 --> 00:05:12,711
Mm-hmm.

196
00:05:13,161 --> 00:05:14,151
We can see that.

197
00:05:14,151 --> 00:05:16,431
It's stunning, but it, it's
also really fun for events too.

198
00:05:16,436 --> 00:05:16,726
Yeah.

199
00:05:17,031 --> 00:05:17,361
Yeah.

200
00:05:17,391 --> 00:05:20,331
I mean, if you do a main event in
there, you know, you're, you can

201
00:05:20,331 --> 00:05:24,921
have kind of the, the food and
the kitchen area ish back here.

202
00:05:24,921 --> 00:05:27,981
I mean, there's a lot or a
smaller, more intimate event.

203
00:05:27,981 --> 00:05:29,121
Breakout room.

204
00:05:29,331 --> 00:05:29,571
Yes.

205
00:05:29,601 --> 00:05:31,251
This is absolutely stunning.

206
00:05:31,371 --> 00:05:32,571
Really love the natural

207
00:05:32,571 --> 00:05:33,441
light in here too.

208
00:05:33,441 --> 00:05:33,471
Oh,

209
00:05:33,501 --> 00:05:34,101
thank you.

210
00:05:34,106 --> 00:05:34,246
Yeah.

211
00:05:34,251 --> 00:05:34,461
Yeah.

212
00:05:34,461 --> 00:05:38,601
So I mean, that's what we pride ourselves
for is the natural light for photography.

213
00:05:38,606 --> 00:05:38,616
Mm-hmm.

214
00:05:39,831 --> 00:05:39,891
Um.

215
00:05:40,236 --> 00:05:41,796
And we'd like to change things up.

216
00:05:41,796 --> 00:05:44,256
Like I said, this used to
be a storage room over here.

217
00:05:44,286 --> 00:05:44,646
Yeah.

218
00:05:44,676 --> 00:05:45,636
And a wall.

219
00:05:45,936 --> 00:05:48,096
So we tore this, this wall down.

220
00:05:48,126 --> 00:05:48,306
Yep.

221
00:05:48,366 --> 00:05:49,236
You can see that.

222
00:05:49,266 --> 00:05:52,536
And that entrance that we thought
there was an entrance there.

223
00:05:52,536 --> 00:05:52,566
Oh.

224
00:05:53,496 --> 00:05:56,376
We wanted this wallpaper,
so we added the wallpaper.

225
00:05:56,811 --> 00:06:00,651
This has been here for five years, so
I'm probably going to replace it soon

226
00:06:01,191 --> 00:06:02,451
to get another, oh, I love the colors.

227
00:06:02,451 --> 00:06:03,156
Yeah, just option.

228
00:06:03,156 --> 00:06:04,251
Just give another little option.

229
00:06:04,281 --> 00:06:04,551
Yep.

230
00:06:04,671 --> 00:06:05,931
Doorways of nowhere.

231
00:06:06,706 --> 00:06:07,836
It's actually somewhere

232
00:06:07,926 --> 00:06:08,276
Uhhuh.

233
00:06:08,541 --> 00:06:09,141
It's somewhere.

234
00:06:09,381 --> 00:06:09,771
Yeah.

235
00:06:09,801 --> 00:06:12,411
Even this brick, I didn't even
notice this the first time.

236
00:06:12,411 --> 00:06:14,661
This brick is so nice.

237
00:06:14,661 --> 00:06:15,471
It's so charming.

238
00:06:15,681 --> 00:06:19,191
So you have memberships that we
wanna talk about because I'm like,

239
00:06:19,221 --> 00:06:21,021
okay, how do I, how do I get in the.

240
00:06:21,046 --> 00:06:22,036
Exclusive club.

241
00:06:22,096 --> 00:06:22,306
Oh yeah.

242
00:06:22,306 --> 00:06:24,706
How did Blane and I get
in the exclusive club?

243
00:06:24,796 --> 00:06:25,456
Great park.

244
00:06:26,026 --> 00:06:29,026
Well, first of all, I
like you two, so yay step.

245
00:06:29,026 --> 00:06:31,996
Then you'll probably get into
the exclusive membership.

246
00:06:31,996 --> 00:06:37,276
But no, really, um, this is really
fun for us to be able to help out

247
00:06:37,276 --> 00:06:38,956
the creatives in the community.

248
00:06:39,016 --> 00:06:39,106
Mm-hmm.

249
00:06:39,106 --> 00:06:39,107
Mm-hmm.

250
00:06:39,436 --> 00:06:40,816
Give them a home base.

251
00:06:40,876 --> 00:06:44,566
Um, having a studio of your
own is a lot of overhead.

252
00:06:44,566 --> 00:06:44,656
Mm-hmm.

253
00:06:44,831 --> 00:06:45,131
For sure.

254
00:06:45,171 --> 00:06:46,576
A lot of expense, literally.

255
00:06:46,576 --> 00:06:47,626
And so yeah.

256
00:06:47,716 --> 00:06:49,156
Literally a lot of overhead.

257
00:06:49,516 --> 00:06:49,906
Yes.

258
00:06:50,226 --> 00:06:54,096
And it's something that, you know, not
a lot of people want to risk mm-hmm.

259
00:06:54,336 --> 00:06:57,036
With their business and
they really don't need to.

260
00:06:57,066 --> 00:06:57,336
Yeah.

261
00:06:57,396 --> 00:06:59,826
When there's a place like this
that they can come and rent

262
00:06:59,826 --> 00:07:01,116
for a few hours every month.

263
00:07:01,821 --> 00:07:04,491
And, uh, so yeah, we
have these memberships.

264
00:07:04,491 --> 00:07:06,411
They start at $47 a month.

265
00:07:06,411 --> 00:07:08,631
I saw that $47 a month.

266
00:07:08,631 --> 00:07:08,901
Right.

267
00:07:09,591 --> 00:07:10,666
Netflix is more than that now.

268
00:07:10,671 --> 00:07:11,061
Yeah.

269
00:07:11,061 --> 00:07:12,171
I, I know it feels like

270
00:07:12,171 --> 00:07:13,551
Netflix's prices are higher than that.

271
00:07:14,721 --> 00:07:14,901
Probably.

272
00:07:14,901 --> 00:07:15,081
I mean,

273
00:07:15,621 --> 00:07:18,561
depends on what kind of, you
know, plan you have with Netflix.

274
00:07:18,566 --> 00:07:19,761
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

275
00:07:20,301 --> 00:07:23,991
So, but yeah, it's, they
start at a really low rate.

276
00:07:24,021 --> 00:07:24,441
Okay.

277
00:07:24,531 --> 00:07:26,991
It's really helping out
those photographers.

278
00:07:27,696 --> 00:07:30,906
Uh, you know, with this
type of economy mm-hmm.

279
00:07:31,476 --> 00:07:32,406
It's different.

280
00:07:32,406 --> 00:07:32,466
Yeah.

281
00:07:32,496 --> 00:07:35,226
It's different from when I
first opened this studio.

282
00:07:35,556 --> 00:07:37,986
So we have many memberships Okay.

283
00:07:37,986 --> 00:07:42,486
That help the photographer get their
feet wet in having a professional space.

284
00:07:42,516 --> 00:07:42,936
Right.

285
00:07:43,086 --> 00:07:46,686
And then they can build their
portfolio, build, build their business.

286
00:07:46,716 --> 00:07:47,286
Yes.

287
00:07:47,286 --> 00:07:47,346
Yeah.

288
00:07:47,346 --> 00:07:50,076
And have this professional space
so that they can eventually.

289
00:07:50,826 --> 00:07:52,086
Build their revenue.

290
00:07:52,116 --> 00:07:52,206
Right.

291
00:07:52,206 --> 00:07:56,586
And have like a more permanent spot here
with more hours and all of the things.

292
00:07:56,586 --> 00:08:00,246
So we have one renter who's
been with me for nine years.

293
00:08:00,276 --> 00:08:00,846
Wow.

294
00:08:01,086 --> 00:08:05,106
And she said having a professional
space, her own studio mm-hmm.

295
00:08:05,346 --> 00:08:07,446
Really helped to boost her business.

296
00:08:07,446 --> 00:08:08,316
So the credibility

297
00:08:08,316 --> 00:08:08,976
there as well.

298
00:08:08,976 --> 00:08:09,066
Yes.

299
00:08:09,066 --> 00:08:09,186
Yeah.

300
00:08:09,186 --> 00:08:11,346
Let's go and shoot in my studio, right?

301
00:08:11,346 --> 00:08:11,406
Yeah.

302
00:08:11,406 --> 00:08:12,041
Like, absolutely.

303
00:08:12,041 --> 00:08:12,571
Absolutely.

304
00:08:12,601 --> 00:08:13,441
Yeah, exactly.

305
00:08:13,441 --> 00:08:13,801
It sounds better

306
00:08:13,801 --> 00:08:17,066
than, Hey, I'm doing a shoot in my
closet because I've got, you know the,

307
00:08:17,306 --> 00:08:20,821
I got the backdrop in my Yeah, you
come over and help me because that

308
00:08:20,821 --> 00:08:22,111
starts sounding a little suspect.

309
00:08:22,441 --> 00:08:22,891
Yes.

310
00:08:22,891 --> 00:08:23,792
Yeah, that's true.

311
00:08:23,797 --> 00:08:23,986
It does.

312
00:08:24,486 --> 00:08:25,426
It does for sure.

313
00:08:25,591 --> 00:08:27,601
You don't know what kind of
shoot you're getting into.

314
00:08:27,811 --> 00:08:28,261
No.

315
00:08:28,891 --> 00:08:29,311
Professional.

316
00:08:29,671 --> 00:08:30,151
Especially

317
00:08:30,151 --> 00:08:31,471
if it came from you saying that.

318
00:08:31,471 --> 00:08:33,386
I'll be a little worried now from my,

319
00:08:34,306 --> 00:08:34,666
I dunno.

320
00:08:35,206 --> 00:08:35,426
Oh,

321
00:08:37,806 --> 00:08:39,841
you never know what's gonna
come out Wayne's mouth on.

322
00:08:41,946 --> 00:08:45,126
Somewhere in you and I know, I
can tell already the creative,

323
00:08:45,516 --> 00:08:46,716
where did that come from?

324
00:08:46,896 --> 00:08:48,486
Like I know where mine came from.

325
00:08:48,486 --> 00:08:49,446
Where did what come from?

326
00:08:49,446 --> 00:08:51,966
The creative, your neighbor,
your passion for it.

327
00:08:52,411 --> 00:08:52,821
What did

328
00:08:52,821 --> 00:08:53,741
you That innate.

329
00:08:53,781 --> 00:08:54,421
I just born with that.

330
00:08:54,471 --> 00:08:55,116
There you go.

331
00:08:55,176 --> 00:09:00,876
I came a family of creatives and so
it's something that like I, well.

332
00:09:01,341 --> 00:09:03,951
I was gonna say something about
my story, but then people don't

333
00:09:03,951 --> 00:09:04,911
really know my full story.

334
00:09:04,911 --> 00:09:06,561
We have to cut that out.

335
00:09:06,561 --> 00:09:07,191
We can do it.

336
00:09:07,581 --> 00:09:13,461
Really the, the creativity has come
from my mom and from my siblings, and.

337
00:09:14,001 --> 00:09:17,871
Like I just could not go into
a nine to five regular job.

338
00:09:17,901 --> 00:09:18,351
Mm-hmm.

339
00:09:18,501 --> 00:09:22,791
And so most of my adulthood, I
have been doing something creative

340
00:09:22,791 --> 00:09:25,221
and being an entrepreneur.

341
00:09:25,221 --> 00:09:25,311
Mm-hmm.

342
00:09:25,371 --> 00:09:26,121
And Right.

343
00:09:26,121 --> 00:09:26,691
I don't know.

344
00:09:26,691 --> 00:09:28,761
I just don't know if I could
go back to nine to five.

345
00:09:28,821 --> 00:09:29,151
Yeah.

346
00:09:29,151 --> 00:09:29,511
After that.

347
00:09:29,511 --> 00:09:30,016
I hear you there.

348
00:09:30,156 --> 00:09:30,656
So yeah,

349
00:09:32,006 --> 00:09:32,496
it's torture.

350
00:09:33,206 --> 00:09:33,616
He's torture.

351
00:09:33,636 --> 00:09:36,696
Yeah, there's people that are made
for, there's people that are not.

352
00:09:36,786 --> 00:09:36,996
Mm-hmm.

353
00:09:37,086 --> 00:09:37,776
So you

354
00:09:37,776 --> 00:09:41,256
mentioned initially, 'cause I do
wanna dive a little bit and touch

355
00:09:41,256 --> 00:09:46,326
into onto your story because it does,
this space really grew with you.

356
00:09:46,386 --> 00:09:46,656
Mm-hmm.

357
00:09:46,686 --> 00:09:49,326
So you talked about how you initially
saw it, you were over at the t.

358
00:09:50,001 --> 00:09:50,841
Antique store.

359
00:09:50,841 --> 00:09:50,931
Yep.

360
00:09:51,261 --> 00:09:54,531
We kind of jumped into, okay,
we were in here, and then you

361
00:09:54,561 --> 00:09:56,481
really transformed this space.

362
00:09:56,511 --> 00:09:56,931
Yep.

363
00:09:57,021 --> 00:10:00,921
But I know there's a little more backstory
about who you are and that kind of what

364
00:10:00,921 --> 00:10:02,661
happened and transformed in your life.

365
00:10:02,661 --> 00:10:04,731
So if you don't mind sharing For sure.

366
00:10:04,731 --> 00:10:05,151
Let's talk

367
00:10:05,151 --> 00:10:05,631
about it.

368
00:10:05,661 --> 00:10:05,931
Yeah.

369
00:10:05,931 --> 00:10:06,681
I would love to.

370
00:10:06,681 --> 00:10:08,781
Well, like I said, I was a photographer.

371
00:10:08,841 --> 00:10:09,201
Yep.

372
00:10:09,261 --> 00:10:12,531
I opened this space actually
as a private studio.

373
00:10:12,651 --> 00:10:12,891
Mm.

374
00:10:12,951 --> 00:10:14,511
It wasn't even open to the public.

375
00:10:14,511 --> 00:10:14,721
Yeah.

376
00:10:14,841 --> 00:10:15,831
Just your space.

377
00:10:15,861 --> 00:10:16,101
Yep.

378
00:10:16,131 --> 00:10:19,131
My space had a few other
photographers that rented with me.

379
00:10:19,656 --> 00:10:23,166
And then very quickly I realized
how much work it was Yeah.

380
00:10:23,406 --> 00:10:28,176
To maintain, to be a landlord to
other people, uh, realized I needed

381
00:10:28,176 --> 00:10:32,016
to change up the business model and
so I opened it up to the public,

382
00:10:32,046 --> 00:10:34,176
which was like the best decision ever.

383
00:10:34,206 --> 00:10:35,016
It's scary, I'm

384
00:10:35,016 --> 00:10:35,796
sure at the same time.

385
00:10:35,796 --> 00:10:36,516
Yes,

386
00:10:36,516 --> 00:10:37,806
yes, definitely.

387
00:10:38,211 --> 00:10:42,141
And just, you know, just being a
creative and really diving into the

388
00:10:42,141 --> 00:10:45,021
photography world, having my own space.

389
00:10:45,051 --> 00:10:46,911
It really was a lot of fun.

390
00:10:47,331 --> 00:10:49,371
Um, I'm trying to remember
what you asked me.

391
00:10:49,461 --> 00:10:50,661
No, just your story.

392
00:10:50,661 --> 00:10:52,041
So you ran that for how long?

393
00:10:52,041 --> 00:10:52,551
Okay.

394
00:10:52,761 --> 00:10:54,921
So I ran it for probably a good.

395
00:10:55,776 --> 00:10:57,336
Five or six years.

396
00:10:57,366 --> 00:10:57,696
Okay.

397
00:10:57,696 --> 00:10:58,686
In that space.

398
00:10:58,716 --> 00:10:58,806
Yes.

399
00:10:58,806 --> 00:10:59,346
And then you had

400
00:10:59,346 --> 00:11:02,616
a few things that kind of came up
in life that maybe changed that

401
00:11:02,616 --> 00:11:04,176
trajectory for you a little bit.

402
00:11:04,236 --> 00:11:05,861
1000%. Yeah.

403
00:11:05,961 --> 00:11:07,221
We all have stuff that up.

404
00:11:09,156 --> 00:11:09,246
Yes.

405
00:11:09,246 --> 00:11:09,247
Life.

406
00:11:09,247 --> 00:11:09,461
What, what?

407
00:11:09,461 --> 00:11:09,941
What life.

408
00:11:10,641 --> 00:11:11,601
What life hit you?

409
00:11:11,691 --> 00:11:12,531
So I will

410
00:11:12,531 --> 00:11:13,701
tell you all about that.

411
00:11:13,701 --> 00:11:15,501
And like I was telling
you earlier, mm-hmm.

412
00:11:15,741 --> 00:11:20,626
This space is like the brick and mortar
to my heart that gave me the good shots.

413
00:11:20,626 --> 00:11:21,801
My creative heart, right?

414
00:11:21,801 --> 00:11:21,861
Yeah.

415
00:11:21,861 --> 00:11:26,211
And so it's like, ooh, let me
show the world my creative eye.

416
00:11:26,451 --> 00:11:26,631
Mm-hmm.

417
00:11:26,931 --> 00:11:28,671
And then life hit me.

418
00:11:28,676 --> 00:11:28,746
Mm-hmm.

419
00:11:29,001 --> 00:11:32,661
So my family went through
something very tragic.

420
00:11:32,721 --> 00:11:35,481
My husband was diagnosed
with stage four cancer.

421
00:11:35,571 --> 00:11:36,381
Oh my gosh.

422
00:11:36,381 --> 00:11:39,021
This was back in 2018.

423
00:11:39,381 --> 00:11:40,161
Pre pandemic.

424
00:11:40,866 --> 00:11:42,756
Pre pandemic right before, yep.

425
00:11:42,756 --> 00:11:43,086
A couple years.

426
00:11:43,476 --> 00:11:46,896
He fought for a couple years and
then he actually passed away four

427
00:11:46,896 --> 00:11:48,276
months before the pandemic hit.

428
00:11:48,276 --> 00:11:48,306
Oh.

429
00:11:49,566 --> 00:11:50,196
I said everybody

430
00:11:50,286 --> 00:11:51,366
goes through life.

431
00:11:51,426 --> 00:11:51,696
Yeah.

432
00:11:51,696 --> 00:11:52,536
Not necessarily.

433
00:11:53,016 --> 00:11:53,316
Right.

434
00:11:53,316 --> 00:11:55,836
That's especially hard a lot.

435
00:11:55,896 --> 00:11:58,506
Well, we all have our difficult things.

436
00:11:58,536 --> 00:11:58,656
Yeah.

437
00:11:58,656 --> 00:11:59,211
We really do.

438
00:11:59,526 --> 00:12:05,016
And so, um, you know, his, his death
and then the pandemic and homeschooling

439
00:12:05,016 --> 00:12:06,786
my kids because of the pandemic.

440
00:12:07,476 --> 00:12:10,086
Uh, I thought, wow, if
someone told me the isolation

441
00:12:10,086 --> 00:12:10,926
around that.

442
00:12:10,956 --> 00:12:14,166
Oh my gosh, Jessica, it was, it was a lot.

443
00:12:14,226 --> 00:12:15,216
I can't even imagine.

444
00:12:15,216 --> 00:12:18,606
My background's nursing, so I'm
putting my nursing hat on, right?

445
00:12:18,606 --> 00:12:19,021
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

446
00:12:19,021 --> 00:12:21,036
Like, oh, I just remember those days.

447
00:12:21,036 --> 00:12:21,546
So, yeah.

448
00:12:21,726 --> 00:12:22,506
Sorry to interrupt.

449
00:12:22,536 --> 00:12:23,496
No, you're good.

450
00:12:23,556 --> 00:12:26,676
But it, it really rocked my world.

451
00:12:26,676 --> 00:12:28,056
Shifted everything.

452
00:12:28,566 --> 00:12:32,706
I suddenly didn't even have the
desire to do photography anymore.

453
00:12:32,796 --> 00:12:32,856
Yeah.

454
00:12:32,856 --> 00:12:34,566
It's like it died with him.

455
00:12:34,626 --> 00:12:34,716
Mm-hmm.

456
00:12:35,586 --> 00:12:38,646
But I had this space and
I'm like, what do I do?

457
00:12:38,706 --> 00:12:40,146
Like, what am I supposed to do?

458
00:12:40,146 --> 00:12:41,496
And my kids needed me.

459
00:12:41,496 --> 00:12:42,966
I needed to be home with them.

460
00:12:42,966 --> 00:12:44,976
I couldn't run off to
photo shoots all the time.

461
00:12:44,976 --> 00:12:45,516
Right?

462
00:12:45,576 --> 00:12:48,006
All of a sudden the
light goes on in my mind.

463
00:12:48,666 --> 00:12:51,906
Okay, let's really put
the focus on the studio.

464
00:12:51,966 --> 00:12:52,446
Right?

465
00:12:52,746 --> 00:12:57,816
Turn this into something that's
very hands off, very automated.

466
00:12:57,816 --> 00:13:03,276
People can just get in turnkey and,
and make that your bread and butter.

467
00:13:03,306 --> 00:13:03,876
Sure.

468
00:13:04,176 --> 00:13:06,156
So that way you can be
home with your kids.

469
00:13:06,276 --> 00:13:06,336
Yeah.

470
00:13:06,336 --> 00:13:10,176
That way you can not have to
be in front of a camera 24 7.

471
00:13:10,566 --> 00:13:10,866
Oh.

472
00:13:10,926 --> 00:13:12,966
And so I started doing that.

473
00:13:12,966 --> 00:13:14,766
But when the pandemic hit, imagine.

474
00:13:14,826 --> 00:13:15,426
Yeah.

475
00:13:15,516 --> 00:13:21,726
That honestly, I remember thinking,
wow, people are gonna struggle mentally.

476
00:13:21,756 --> 00:13:21,846
Mm-hmm.

477
00:13:22,116 --> 00:13:22,416
With the

478
00:13:22,416 --> 00:13:24,006
isolation, all the things.

479
00:13:24,006 --> 00:13:28,986
And I was already, I had already been
through the really, really hard part.

480
00:13:29,016 --> 00:13:29,076
Yeah.

481
00:13:29,076 --> 00:13:29,406
Well.

482
00:13:30,081 --> 00:13:31,701
I'm like, can I say that
was really hard part.

483
00:13:31,851 --> 00:13:34,401
The last five years have
been really hard Too.

484
00:13:34,581 --> 00:13:36,021
Grief is that way.

485
00:13:36,046 --> 00:13:41,721
Like, but like I just knew, I knew it was
gonna be a collective difficult situation.

486
00:13:42,291 --> 00:13:42,381
Right.

487
00:13:42,471 --> 00:13:44,691
And I knew what was helping me.

488
00:13:44,931 --> 00:13:46,641
Mm. And that was meditation.

489
00:13:46,641 --> 00:13:46,642
Mm-hmm.

490
00:13:46,731 --> 00:13:47,421
And breath work.

491
00:13:47,426 --> 00:13:47,776
Mm-hmm.

492
00:13:48,141 --> 00:13:52,281
And so I started opening up the
studio for wellness classes.

493
00:13:52,341 --> 00:13:55,881
What was, what your focus was
and what was really breathing

494
00:13:55,881 --> 00:13:57,561
life back into you in a sense.

495
00:13:57,591 --> 00:13:58,341
Exactly.

496
00:13:58,431 --> 00:13:58,761
I love that.

497
00:13:59,091 --> 00:14:00,501
Breathing life back into me.

498
00:14:00,771 --> 00:14:02,661
So I open up the studio for that.

499
00:14:03,096 --> 00:14:04,866
And then all of a sudden one by one.

500
00:14:04,986 --> 00:14:05,256
That's so cool.

501
00:14:05,316 --> 00:14:07,536
People are like, Hey,
can I do my event there?

502
00:14:07,536 --> 00:14:08,706
And I'm like, yes.

503
00:14:09,066 --> 00:14:09,126
Wow.

504
00:14:09,156 --> 00:14:13,176
So it's evolved and morphed into
not just a photography studio,

505
00:14:13,176 --> 00:14:17,166
but also an event space for
mostly wellness events, but Sure.

506
00:14:17,886 --> 00:14:18,006
Yeah.

507
00:14:18,006 --> 00:14:18,666
Like breath work.

508
00:14:18,666 --> 00:14:19,536
That's what you said, right?

509
00:14:19,536 --> 00:14:19,806
Yep.

510
00:14:20,046 --> 00:14:20,436
Yeah.

511
00:14:20,796 --> 00:14:21,306
So what do you get?

512
00:14:21,306 --> 00:14:24,126
A bunch of people in there
with some mats and they, and

513
00:14:24,126 --> 00:14:25,506
they do the go grab the camera.

514
00:14:25,506 --> 00:14:25,836
Blane.

515
00:14:25,836 --> 00:14:27,636
We kind of passed that up.

516
00:14:27,906 --> 00:14:29,256
Um, exactly that.

517
00:14:29,256 --> 00:14:30,396
Jess has more to show us.

518
00:14:30,396 --> 00:14:32,556
I saw him kind of tucked over
there in that little corner.

519
00:14:32,556 --> 00:14:35,226
Let's head back over and you
can look at the space over.

520
00:14:36,726 --> 00:14:39,936
Well, and that's the great thing too
because you know, like I said, we

521
00:14:39,936 --> 00:14:41,466
have memberships for photographers.

522
00:14:41,466 --> 00:14:41,556
Mm-hmm.

523
00:14:41,796 --> 00:14:45,006
But now we have memberships for
these facilitators that want to

524
00:14:45,006 --> 00:14:48,966
have regular classes here at the
studio and they're saving money.

525
00:14:49,356 --> 00:14:52,656
They have their own studio and they
can build their business that way.

526
00:14:52,656 --> 00:14:53,106
So.

527
00:14:53,376 --> 00:14:55,926
So right over here in the
corner, she's got yoga mat.

528
00:14:56,271 --> 00:14:59,061
Which we just passed right
by the, by the entrance.

529
00:14:59,301 --> 00:15:01,011
And you said you're roughly,

530
00:15:01,011 --> 00:15:02,391
how many yoga mat can you get in here?

531
00:15:02,391 --> 00:15:04,521
You can fit 30 in here.

532
00:15:04,581 --> 00:15:05,511
Okay.

533
00:15:05,511 --> 00:15:08,691
Um, unless you wanna be sardines
and lay on top of each other.

534
00:15:09,231 --> 00:15:11,151
You, you don't wanna do more than 30?

535
00:15:11,151 --> 00:15:11,946
I do some water yoga before.

536
00:15:12,376 --> 00:15:12,666
Yeah.

537
00:15:13,856 --> 00:15:15,681
Alright, Blaine, go get your yoga mat.

538
00:15:15,681 --> 00:15:16,101
Let's see.

539
00:15:16,191 --> 00:15:17,151
Let's see your poses.

540
00:15:18,591 --> 00:15:18,771
Let's go.

541
00:15:18,771 --> 00:15:20,211
You guys' have to be helping me get up.

542
00:15:20,211 --> 00:15:20,811
I get done in the pose.

543
00:15:20,991 --> 00:15:22,226
Yes, exactly.

544
00:15:22,496 --> 00:15:22,986
Exactly.

545
00:15:23,096 --> 00:15:25,191
Well, I love the versatility of this.

546
00:15:25,206 --> 00:15:25,716
Space.

547
00:15:25,716 --> 00:15:30,331
So really it, it, it transformed
from your studio mm-hmm.

548
00:15:30,416 --> 00:15:32,436
To opening that up to, to everyone.

549
00:15:32,496 --> 00:15:32,856
Yep.

550
00:15:33,006 --> 00:15:34,986
Opening it up to a wellness studio.

551
00:15:34,986 --> 00:15:35,046
Yeah.

552
00:15:35,046 --> 00:15:38,886
How, how do you, and then
clearly with yoga and some of

553
00:15:38,886 --> 00:15:39,786
these other memberships mm-hmm.

554
00:15:40,026 --> 00:15:41,106
How do you describe that again?

555
00:15:41,106 --> 00:15:42,066
What was what you said?

556
00:15:42,066 --> 00:15:43,506
The brick and mortar of your heart.

557
00:15:43,506 --> 00:15:43,896
Oh, to my

558
00:15:43,896 --> 00:15:44,346
heart.

559
00:15:44,526 --> 00:15:44,856
Yeah.

560
00:15:44,856 --> 00:15:45,456
I love that.

561
00:15:45,456 --> 00:15:46,566
It really is so powerful.

562
00:15:46,631 --> 00:15:46,971
It is.

563
00:15:47,856 --> 00:15:52,086
I think it says a lot for
you to take a private place.

564
00:15:52,116 --> 00:15:52,446
Mm-hmm.

565
00:15:52,986 --> 00:15:55,236
And open it up to other creatives.

566
00:15:55,266 --> 00:15:55,776
Mm-hmm.

567
00:15:56,196 --> 00:15:57,096
Oh, it's so much.

568
00:15:57,096 --> 00:15:58,871
You talk to my heart like, yeah, yeah.

569
00:15:59,136 --> 00:16:00,006
You better be back.

570
00:16:00,006 --> 00:16:00,591
I'll be back.

571
00:16:00,951 --> 00:16:01,631
I might just stay.

572
00:16:02,076 --> 00:16:02,886
I like the couch Enough.

573
00:16:03,906 --> 00:16:04,356
Blane.

574
00:16:04,356 --> 00:16:06,486
For our listeners out there,
I know they're saying.

575
00:16:06,906 --> 00:16:08,676
How many people can you fit in this space?

576
00:16:08,676 --> 00:16:10,476
What size events fit in here?

577
00:16:10,831 --> 00:16:10,951
Whatever

578
00:16:10,956 --> 00:16:12,006
she says, I'll double it.

579
00:16:12,096 --> 00:16:12,306
That's true.

580
00:16:13,511 --> 00:16:14,671
I can know me, I can fit it in here.

581
00:16:14,671 --> 00:16:15,516
So, but it really

582
00:16:15,516 --> 00:16:18,186
does depend, because Jess
had weddings in here.

583
00:16:18,186 --> 00:16:19,236
She has had small,

584
00:16:19,236 --> 00:16:20,166
intimate weddings.

585
00:16:20,196 --> 00:16:23,556
Open house style, like up to 150 ish.

586
00:16:23,586 --> 00:16:25,871
Uh, there little markets,
little popup markets.

587
00:16:26,001 --> 00:16:26,511
Popup markets.

588
00:16:26,651 --> 00:16:27,711
Uh, there is, we know the

589
00:16:27,711 --> 00:16:28,111
market people.

590
00:16:28,171 --> 00:16:28,951
We know all these people.

591
00:16:28,956 --> 00:16:29,316
Oh, we do?

592
00:16:29,316 --> 00:16:29,406
Yep.

593
00:16:29,706 --> 00:16:30,846
And there is parking.

594
00:16:30,846 --> 00:16:31,626
So this sits Yes.

595
00:16:31,656 --> 00:16:32,676
Remind me your address.

596
00:16:32,991 --> 00:16:35,541
So, 8 34 North, 8 34 North,

597
00:16:35,541 --> 00:16:37,281
100 East, 100 East.

598
00:16:37,281 --> 00:16:37,821
And we're sweet.

599
00:16:37,821 --> 00:16:38,751
C in Lehigh.

600
00:16:38,811 --> 00:16:39,711
In Lehigh.

601
00:16:39,996 --> 00:16:43,176
So we're right on some main cross
streets, but they do have a parking lot

602
00:16:43,176 --> 00:16:46,716
that sits in the back of the building
on the south side of the building.

603
00:16:46,716 --> 00:16:48,276
South kind of westy.

604
00:16:48,336 --> 00:16:51,756
Well, I don't even know which
direction we're facing side.

605
00:16:52,236 --> 00:16:53,466
Um, so plenty of parking.

606
00:16:53,466 --> 00:16:57,066
If you do have those events, 70, 90.

607
00:16:57,066 --> 00:16:57,786
What's the.

608
00:16:58,281 --> 00:16:58,941
So if you

609
00:16:58,941 --> 00:16:59,871
were to have sit down

610
00:16:59,871 --> 00:17:03,231
seated, let's say you did a small,
intimate wedding, you can fit

611
00:17:03,231 --> 00:17:05,871
about 55 people seated in here.

612
00:17:05,931 --> 00:17:06,051
Mm-hmm.

613
00:17:06,351 --> 00:17:09,441
Um, you know, and switch it
over with tables and chairs,

614
00:17:09,441 --> 00:17:10,851
it works about the same.

615
00:17:11,001 --> 00:17:11,301
Okay.

616
00:17:11,421 --> 00:17:16,806
Um, if you were to do an open house
style or popup shops, markets, yeah.

617
00:17:16,806 --> 00:17:19,101
You can definitely get
more people in here.

618
00:17:19,101 --> 00:17:23,781
It's just a, probably a max
capacity of about 75 in this

619
00:17:23,781 --> 00:17:25,221
space at once, at one time.

620
00:17:25,221 --> 00:17:25,461
So, yeah.

621
00:17:25,926 --> 00:17:28,026
So you could have them kind
of shuffling in and out.

622
00:17:28,116 --> 00:17:28,356
Yep.

623
00:17:28,386 --> 00:17:28,566
Okay.

624
00:17:28,566 --> 00:17:32,556
Blaine, you're behind the camera now, but
what kind of ideas you got for events?

625
00:17:32,586 --> 00:17:33,486
You gotta show this.

626
00:17:33,546 --> 00:17:37,561
You got, I'm like, I'm like,
you gotta show how cool this is.

627
00:17:37,881 --> 00:17:38,681
I keep looking up here.

628
00:17:38,681 --> 00:17:39,246
This is crazy.

629
00:17:39,261 --> 00:17:40,296
The, the ceiling,

630
00:17:40,536 --> 00:17:43,686
it's beautiful, the light
that comes through there.

631
00:17:43,956 --> 00:17:46,266
So when you opened, this was
closed or was this open up?

632
00:17:46,266 --> 00:17:46,356
Nope,

633
00:17:46,356 --> 00:17:48,846
this was open, but it was all dark wood.

634
00:17:48,846 --> 00:17:51,396
Did you add these windows
up here or those were there?

635
00:17:51,426 --> 00:17:51,786
Oh,

636
00:17:51,786 --> 00:17:52,476
I love

637
00:17:52,476 --> 00:17:52,831
that light.

638
00:17:52,831 --> 00:17:56,316
I believe this was actually
an old lumber yard.

639
00:17:56,346 --> 00:17:56,706
Okay.

640
00:17:56,706 --> 00:17:59,466
I still don't know all of the history.

641
00:17:59,471 --> 00:18:00,876
History and I need to find that out.

642
00:18:00,876 --> 00:18:02,736
But can you see the cute little ladder?

643
00:18:03,006 --> 00:18:04,116
Yes.

644
00:18:04,176 --> 00:18:04,206
Oh,

645
00:18:04,446 --> 00:18:04,596
I

646
00:18:04,596 --> 00:18:05,106
love that.

647
00:18:06,066 --> 00:18:07,026
And a belt.

648
00:18:07,056 --> 00:18:10,056
There's like this wheel, there was
a belt right here that came down.

649
00:18:10,056 --> 00:18:12,066
So some type of functioning.

650
00:18:12,186 --> 00:18:12,516
Yep.

651
00:18:12,606 --> 00:18:13,506
Uh, mill.

652
00:18:14,031 --> 00:18:14,781
That's awesome.

653
00:18:14,781 --> 00:18:15,531
So yeah.

654
00:18:15,531 --> 00:18:16,101
That's awesome.

655
00:18:16,131 --> 00:18:19,606
These original floors have
seen all kinds of things.

656
00:18:19,606 --> 00:18:20,451
All sorts things.

657
00:18:20,541 --> 00:18:22,281
A hundred, a hundred years you said?

658
00:18:22,731 --> 00:18:22,851
I

659
00:18:22,851 --> 00:18:23,751
believe it's so pretty.

660
00:18:23,751 --> 00:18:26,841
It's gotta be one of the originals
with Lehigh Roller Mills.

661
00:18:26,871 --> 00:18:27,081
Yep.

662
00:18:27,111 --> 00:18:28,221
You know, in here.

663
00:18:28,221 --> 00:18:28,701
So

664
00:18:28,761 --> 00:18:30,981
it'd be interesting to
find out the story on this

665
00:18:30,981 --> 00:18:31,251
for sure.

666
00:18:31,251 --> 00:18:32,766
So what kind of event could I do?

667
00:18:33,501 --> 00:18:36,136
Oh, you're over there
thinking, yeah, I'm thinking

668
00:18:36,171 --> 00:18:38,301
I still have to do my, my wrestling show.

669
00:18:38,331 --> 00:18:38,871
Oh, that's,

670
00:18:38,961 --> 00:18:41,151
I'm thinking we could throw a wrestling.

671
00:18:41,151 --> 00:18:42,216
You get a wrestling ring here Maybe.

672
00:18:42,356 --> 00:18:43,096
It might have to be small.

673
00:18:43,131 --> 00:18:44,421
It might have to be like jello wrestling.

674
00:18:44,421 --> 00:18:46,851
It might have to reinforce
the explorer with everything

675
00:18:46,851 --> 00:18:47,301
you got going on.

676
00:18:47,301 --> 00:18:50,481
Well, speaking of wrestling though,
okay, we do have some people that

677
00:18:50,481 --> 00:18:52,251
want to come in and do self-defense.

678
00:18:52,836 --> 00:18:53,406
In here.

679
00:18:53,676 --> 00:18:54,006
Oh, there we go.

680
00:18:54,006 --> 00:18:55,086
Isn't that interesting?

681
00:18:55,086 --> 00:18:55,481
That would be,

682
00:18:56,196 --> 00:18:56,616
that would be cool.

683
00:18:56,616 --> 00:18:57,126
Probably

684
00:18:57,126 --> 00:19:00,726
not the most like aggressive
self-defense in here.

685
00:19:00,726 --> 00:19:01,481
Yeah, more.

686
00:19:01,481 --> 00:19:02,081
More moves.

687
00:19:02,991 --> 00:19:03,801
Just more tactical.

688
00:19:03,901 --> 00:19:05,226
We know how to protect ourselves.

689
00:19:05,226 --> 00:19:05,826
We should, right?

690
00:19:06,126 --> 00:19:06,606
Yeah.

691
00:19:06,666 --> 00:19:07,056
We have to.

692
00:19:07,836 --> 00:19:08,226
They do.

693
00:19:08,676 --> 00:19:10,716
So again, I mentioned my nursing days.

694
00:19:10,716 --> 00:19:13,176
So they would actually teach
us those classes every year.

695
00:19:13,176 --> 00:19:13,356
Imagine.

696
00:19:13,356 --> 00:19:15,876
So if you've had a patient like
grab you behind and things, so they

697
00:19:15,876 --> 00:19:17,256
teach you how to get out of those.

698
00:19:17,256 --> 00:19:17,701
Holds.

699
00:19:17,731 --> 00:19:18,211
Oh wow.

700
00:19:18,241 --> 00:19:19,921
So maybe you just start that clasping.

701
00:19:19,921 --> 00:19:20,341
There we go.

702
00:19:20,701 --> 00:19:20,911
Maybe

703
00:19:20,911 --> 00:19:24,216
I'll That's, and then it'll spiral
into my wrestling show that we do.

704
00:19:24,316 --> 00:19:24,536
Yes.

705
00:19:24,541 --> 00:19:25,171
There you go.

706
00:19:26,011 --> 00:19:27,631
So, Jess, tell us where to find you.

707
00:19:27,661 --> 00:19:28,531
Where can we find you?

708
00:19:28,531 --> 00:19:30,001
Are you on Instagram?

709
00:19:30,061 --> 00:19:30,151
Yep.

710
00:19:30,181 --> 00:19:31,321
Tell us where, where you're at.

711
00:19:31,381 --> 00:19:31,801
Yep.

712
00:19:31,891 --> 00:19:33,391
We're on Instagram.

713
00:19:33,421 --> 00:19:35,401
That's kind of our main hub.

714
00:19:35,491 --> 00:19:35,701
Okay.

715
00:19:35,701 --> 00:19:38,341
We definitely are all over Instagram.

716
00:19:38,341 --> 00:19:41,821
So it's the Loft Studio photo event.

717
00:19:41,851 --> 00:19:42,121
Okay.

718
00:19:42,331 --> 00:19:44,911
Uh, it also trickles into Facebook.

719
00:19:45,291 --> 00:19:50,181
Um, and we've got a website, so
just the loft studio lehigh.com.

720
00:19:50,241 --> 00:19:51,321
The loft studio

721
00:19:51,321 --> 00:19:52,821
lehigh.com.

722
00:19:52,851 --> 00:19:56,241
Do you have pictures of your space
with events taking place so you

723
00:19:56,241 --> 00:19:59,616
can get kind of a different idea
of what Little Bit works in here?

724
00:19:59,616 --> 00:19:59,816
Bit?

725
00:19:59,821 --> 00:20:03,051
We're still working on getting all
of that footage, all that together.

726
00:20:03,201 --> 00:20:03,921
That's all right.

727
00:20:03,921 --> 00:20:04,251
Yeah.

728
00:20:04,311 --> 00:20:05,721
We all, we all start somewhere.

729
00:20:05,736 --> 00:20:06,136
Start somewhere.

730
00:20:06,136 --> 00:20:07,161
We'll have so many events.

731
00:20:07,161 --> 00:20:09,051
You'll go, I have so many to choose from.

732
00:20:09,051 --> 00:20:10,311
What do I put on the website?

733
00:20:10,311 --> 00:20:10,401
