So, studio317 was born out of our desire to have community in our local industry and help one another along. So we get an awesome spaced, set it up to help with all your business needs, and now you get to enjoy!

We’ll be having classes there to help you out, holding some support meetings (think AA for photogs but not in a weird way…more in a lets hold each others hand and support each other in this journey!), and opening it up for you to use for client meetings and such!

So, 5 awesome ways to get involved…

1. We are the main sponsor for the Knoxville Photog Shootout! This is a monthly fun shootout for local (well, and non locals if you want to drive in for it!) photographers to get together, have fun, build your portfolio, and get inspired! March’s is 3/28 and this months theme is seniors (and the location is a junkyard…fun times!) Go be a fan of their facebook page to keep up with the details!

2. Use the space! We have a meeting space with a flat screen for you to meet with clients or do viewing sessions. We also have a studio and a meeting room for those that may want to host a class. NOTE: You do not have to be a photographer to use the space…we are opening this up to small business owners and small parties as well!

3. Take a class! Every month we are having a Photog Focus class where we’ll have a discussion on a focus topic. We will have guest speakers and also open it up for discussion. This meets the first Thursday of every month and April’s topic is blogging: the how why and when! These classes are an AWESOME way to grow your business and learn from other photographers! Space is limited so contact me to get on the list!

4. Be a VIP member! If you are wanting a more committed time to use the studio and priority to schedule ongoing time slots…plus lots of freebies and funness, then we are accepting a small amount of VIP members that pay a discounted monthly fee. Awesome opportunity! If interested, give me a call or shoot me an email:)

5. Come be for each other! This is our monthly group meeting for photographers wanting to just be part of a group that is for each other. Support each other in this awesome industry! This is a meeting that will be held at the studio and I highly recommend being part of it if you are a local Knoxville photographer. Again, call me or shoot me an email for the details! I’d love for you to be part of it!
