Hello my clients, friends and new followers.  I'm sure your wondering where I've been and what I've been up to.  I've been off the grid regrouping and refocusing on my new life.  At some time, I'll find the strength and courage to talk openly about things personally but to those who are close to me, you have encouraged, showed unconditional love and support.

Now back to business.  I have recently changed my business name to AVA | Photo & Design Studio, LLC.  Since being in the art and photography industry since over two decades, many of you have just called me Ava and not by my business name.  I went back to basics and renamed it just AVA.  Ava is more than a logo or brand, it is now an experience and my love language.  I am finally in a place where where I can put my heart and soul back into my company that I have deserted for some time.  

While storms are not easy to get through, patience and time and the right energy feeds my soul now and I'm thrilled to have things align as I've always wanted them to.  On top of rebranding, I've decided to go back to school and receive my Masters Degree in Art Therapy.  Education is something I always wanted to pursue and as I go trough my art journey, I've decided to incorporate my love for the Arts and helping individuals heal through art.  At the end of my program I will be at a Masters level and a licensed  clinician helping children and adults navigate their traumas through art.  It's an extension of me and my company and I can't wait to open my private practice along with my new studio.

For those who have been with me through my entire photography journey, thank you and I love you and you are the back bone to keeping my business alive and to those who are new, welcome.  I'm so happy you are hear and lots of exciting things to come!

with love,

Ava
