Welcome back!
May 2, 2018To my loyal SSP family, clients, followers… thank you for sticking with me through one of the longest website rebuilds of all time. It took me quite a while to find the best way to create my vision for the site. After talking with a good friend who is a web professional, we found the best solution for the all-new SSP site. This blog portion won’t be entirely photo related, but it will revolve around the behind-the-scenes life of SSP.
Side thought - I realize I’ve been using the term “SSP” a lot and I’m really trying to make it stick… hellooo branding! “Shaylan Spurway Photography” is lovely if I do say so myself (thanks Mom), but it can seem a little long-winded. So, #SSP.
Right now I have been tackling the rebuild, a quickly approaching wedding season, as well as a very busy post-winter wedding season! Oh, and how can I forget about my Soo Greyhounds. Last August I assumed the role of Manager of Game Day Operations and Merchandising for our local OHL team, the Soo Greyhounds. Right now we are in the 2018 OHL Playoffs. As I type this we’re awaiting the start of the Championship Finals. 4 more wins and we’re officially 2018 Champs. Fingers crossed. Knock on wood.
I’m also still absolutely loving my business as an Independent Stylist with Stella & Dot. I promoted to a Star Stylist last fall and have been invited to participate in the company’s annual conference this year. Y’all never guess where it is too… a place I like to call my home away from home. Nashville, TN!
Hockey and jewelry aside, I am excited to launch a space for SSP on the lovely world wide web. The social media pages will remain alive and updated, but I will also be adding updates and content to the website as well. This fun little blog will accompany it and hopefully show you a little peek at the “SS” in SSP.
Thank you, as always, for your support and love. Running a small business in Northern Ontario is truly a dream come true.
Smiles,
Shaylan
A big thank you to Meaghan Kent Photography for the new SSP portraits. This little Kodak Brownie camera was the same camera that my grandmother once used. Something that I love including in my personal work is a space that has a bit of meaning. We did this little session at the old fire hall at the corner of Elizabeth and Wellington. This building, with it’s wonderful red door, was once Hall 3 for the Sault Ste. Marie Fire Department. My grandfather worked out of Hall 3 for over 28 years.
