Today we’d like to introduce you to Natasha Snyder.
Natasha, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
As a photographer myself, I would do most of my photoshoots here on the farm, as there were so many hidden natural gems here that I loved. Pastures, Food growing on trellises with blooming flowers of green beans, the pond with the island and Sunflowers. Oh….How I love Sunflowers. Then one thing led to another. I asked my husband to put in a tree swing for photoshoots. I then asked if he could build me my dream chicken coops of an old west town. And then a colored door wall. And then a greenhouse. One thing led to another and then I realized that my Outdoor Studio here on the farm was coming to life! I also decided that I did not want to keep this beautiful space of our farm just to me, and we as a family had decided to open it up for other photographers, artists and couples to use the space as they choose. We hope this place of course, is a one-of-a-kind space for photographers and artists to work their magic and for couples to begin their forever.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Smooth Sailing! I just wanted a place to shoot that had privacy and a uniqueness to create images. … it has only grown with amazing backdrops of what was envisioned. Still have a few things to add as soon as the heat dies down!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I have tried and hopefully accomplished giving the opportunities for other creates to do just that… create. As photographer myself, I have poured out my heart and love in providing beautiful “sets” around the farm.
