UDS Expands...

We have been so blessed...and today, we are happy to announce that UDS has outgrown its current studio and will be relocating. After only a year and a few months, we have had to make a decision that hasn't been easy. We love the "new" space we're currently in. It was decorated with the idea of making it a home, since so much time is spent there and after all the remodeling, it will be hard to leave:( The good news is that we will be moving into a HOME right on Bird Road, taking us back to where it all began. Our first storefront studio was on 63rd and Bird and guess where we're moving back to? Yes, 63rd and Bird. This time it's a HOME with plenty of room for all the girls, some viewing rooms, 2 consult/lounge areas, 3 shooting rooms and 3 bathrooms! I will be posting photographs during the construction process and then of (my personal favorite phase)...the decorating. Looking forward to creating beautiful memories for all of you on BIRD in January '09!

Un Beso,

Martha and the UDS Staff

Photography 101

Facebook???? A few months ago, I had no idea what it was, except what I had heard from my children....Then, a client suggested we create a group and we did.

We had no idea what a success it would be...so much so, that shortly thereafter the comments and questions began to bombard our inbox. Where do I set my camera for action shots, where can I take my camera for cleanings, what lights should I purchase, do you know of an editing software....and the list of questions, goes on and on.

So, here's what we decided : Once a month, we will hold amateur photography classes here at our studio. The class is limited to 6 ladies and will include lunch, but most of all, we will be able to answer all the questions, and teach many how to use their equipment and create beautiful images. The ladies will also shoot a session and edit it during class. I plan to post the best images from each student and have you, our faithful bloggers, vote on your favorites.

We are so excited to be offering photography101 and expect it to be a lot of fun!

Looking forward to it!

Martha:)

P.S. For further information, please email me at martha@udsphoto.com or search for unique design studios on facebook groups.

OCTOBER'S CLASS IS FULL...Next class, November 30th
