Six years!\u00a0 I have been in business over six years.\u00a0 I started with an office in my bedroom and then moved into my garage. Then, four years ago we moved\u00a0 across town and I finally had my own office space in my home where clients could come do their viewings.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t ideal having everyone come to my house, but I was still a new business and it worked!\u00a0 For the past year I have been praying about moving my business outside my home.\u00a0 I have had a lot of reservations, mostly rooted in fear, but decided to put it out there and see what God would do.\u00a0\u00a0 I was pretty specific about what I wanted though.\u00a0 A space where I could meet with clients and do their viewing sessions, a small studio space for my newborn sessions, within a specific price range AND needed to be near my home.\u00a0 I have been looking around and NOTHING met those criteria.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t discouraged, I had faith the right place would show up when the time was right.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unexpectedly, two days ago, that time was upon me!\u00a0 I am now the owner of my own business space less than a mile from my home!\u00a0 \u201cCue fireworks and confetti\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

WOW!\u00a0 Yes, I\u2019ve been praying on it, but seeing places that were 2-4 times by budget just made me think that finding a space meeting my requirements just wasn\u2019t going to happen.\u00a0 Should have known not to doubt God!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday morning I posted this on Facebook\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Screen<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I posted this in the morning and then, just happened to check craigslist on a whim for office space.\u00a0 By 6:00, I had the keys to a new space in my hand!!!!!!\u00a0 WHAT??!!?!?!?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

All I can say is that I am in awe.\u00a0 I am scared, nervous, excited and overwhelmed!\u00a0 But I have great friends and a supportive family and we\u2019re busy painting and buying furniture and working hard to get it ready.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t wait to show it off!!!!\u00a0 I am heading out of town Sunday for a photography school in New Jersey.\u00a0 (www.marsschool.com<\/a>)\u00a0 I\u2019ll be home next weekend and plan to be in the office and working by that Monday!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am so thankful for the past six years.\u00a0 I am honored to have been blessed by so many of you who have trusted me to capture your precious family portraits.\u00a0 I am so excited to see what the future holds for Devon Shanor Photography and thank all of you, from the bottom of my heart, for standing by and supporting me!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
