We made it. We are now fully in Clinton!

I don't ever want to move that much stuff ever again.  Robbie, Cindy, Amy and myself are very tired, but happy to finally be here just the same.  Now the unpacking and remodeling jobs ahead.  And I never realized how much a supermarket can mean to a city until I went to F.C. -Everyone shops there!  We already miss our friends in Huntsville, but we already have started new friendships here in Clinton as well.

  If anyone would like to donate any old doors and old wooden shutters to the studio, we would be so thankful!  We really love being on Market Street right in the middle of such a historic city.  We can't wait to begin photographing this great backdrop of downtown Clinton.

This is it....we are coming Tennessee!

  Just said goodbye to our old jobs :(  Closed out everything. had a yardsale, and got a truck.
Now loading the truck and collapsing late tonight and leaving tomorrow afternoon is the plan. 
Moving stinks.  I would rather it just all burn up, get the insurance and head out.  (If you are with the insurance company and reading this, that was just a joke).
 Alabama heat is killer as well.  I read where someone here actually fried eggs on his dashboard, and baked biscuits in the trunk of his car.

  Oh, well....back to work.

One more week of wrapping and packing….

  I hate moving. I literally hate moving. I know people who sell their houses with all their stuff in them just so they won’t have to move it. I want to be like that. Not gonna happen. Our house looks like a box warehouse now. This weekend will be my last at my present studio before moving all our stuff to Clinton, TN. I am excited about having our studio in Clinton, but soo much to do. After we move, unpack, and store, then the fun begins: painting, hanging, fixing, hammering, etc. Oh, well. It is going to be a great ride! Gotta go pack some more – we’ll keep you updated.

Lawler Studios now has a storefront in Clinton, Tennessee!

I can’t believe everything fell into place the way it has! If you were to ask me a couple of months ago if we were to open a studio in this area, I would’ve thought you crazy! That is until I walked around the town and met the people. What a great town this is! First time we visited a church here we met the mayor. Now we met the city council. It only took me one afternoon of walking around this town to realize that Clinton Tennessee is where I want to call my home. My wife and I are from Huntsville, Alabama and her Mom is living right here in Clinton. How my wife, Amy and I met is a story for another time, but everytime we come to visit, I am in awe of the beauty of this city. It truly is a pearl. (no pun intended).

No, this isn't the studio, just us hamming it up at the Appalachain Museum.

   The studio is going to be located right on Market Street in the old Sugar and Spice Building. The address is 369 Market Street, Clinton, TN 37716. We should be getting underway in remodeling sometime in August. The reason is we are closing up our jobs in Huntsville, AL and we cannot leave until the busy season is ended. Right now the studio we are leaving is finishing up Senior Season. I would’ve rather start our studio before Senior Season, but that’s just the way God worked it out. It seemed like doors just kept opening here and closing in Huntsville, so although I am hard headed most of the time, I don’t want to miss out on a blessing.
  We are a full service photography/graphic art studio producing portraits for high school seniors, individuals, families, babies, pets, maternity, engagement, wedding, commercial and corporate, and a graphic arts department to provide any graphics, logos, corporate image that is needed.
  People say that we are crazy to open a business in this economy. I say God owns the economy. I also say that time waits for no man - no wait, I didn’t say that someone else did – what I mean is that opportunity knocks only so often in your life, and if you don’t answer, then someone else gets it. Amy and I want to be a blessing and and asset to this part of Tennessee and all the great people in it. Thank you all for the opportunity to be a part of this community and great state. Great things are heading our way!
