Grand Rapids Photographer {Newborn Photographer} Patricia Anderson Photography

What a busy week it's been here in East Grand Rapids!

I got to wrap up my week on Thursday with adorable 6 day old Maggie who was my model for my newborn props that I've listed for sale on my on-line storefront (http://www.etsy.com/shop/ChicNewbornShop),  as well as some great bonnets and hats that were sent to me by my AMAZING vendor, Petunia and Ivy (Click on her name to check out her on-line store!).

Here or some of her pictures from the shoot!  I'm currently offering newborn photography out of my home until I find the perfect studio :)

{Grand Rapids Photography Studio} Grand Rapids Photographer | Patricia Anderson Photography

The hunt is still on!

I never knew that looking for a new photography studio in Grand Rapids, MI would be harder than finding one in Chicago!

Lucy and I have been spending our mornings walking, driving, and cruising around the Grand Rapids area trying to find that perfect spot to call home for my next studio!  It's definitely a great sign that small businesses are thriving in the area - all the shops and boutiques are filled with small stores and awesome restaurants and breweries!  Grand Rapids really seems like a great place to be, even though my studio in Chicago was probably as perfect as it gets :)

East Grand Rapids sure seems like a wonderful place to set up shop!  I read an article the other day that East Grand Rapids was voted one of the top 10 cities to raise a family in, which was very reassuring!  Between Rose's Restaurant, The Lifestyle Kitchen Studio, and everything in between, I'd love to be somewhere in that mix!  I have myself on a waiting list as soon as a space comes open, but for now, I'll just have to be patient :)

We drove up to Rockford and Ada to check out their downtown areas this morning - both are absolutely adorable!  Along with looking for a great studio, I've found some really great places to live in that area, once that time comes when we'll need a bigger house!

If anyone has any leads on a great retail space in the area, feel free to shoot them my way! I can't wait to get out there and start photographing some newborns!
