Grand Opening Celebration

When I first moved to Missouri in 2018, I had no idea on the amount of the amazing people I would meet. Nor did I ever think I'd make it to having a studio space. Ever since I started my business in 2014, I wanted a studio space! A place to be able to create more than just outdoor portraits. A place to share my knowledge with other budding photographers. A place for many to gather and enjoy each other's company. So many exciting things are coming to Jennifer Tru Photography now that it has a place to call home.
The studio space is located in Knob Noster, Missouri, just outside of Whiteman Airforce Base. At 1305 S State St, Suite B, just two doors down from AllStarz Barbershop. Knob Noster is just an hour & ten minutes East of Kansas City and 22 minutes West of Sedalia.
When I first thought of doing a grand opening celebration, I was hesitant. But the more I thought about it, I realized that this was a once in a lifetime celebration! I mean how many times in your life are you going to open your dream photography studio!??
It has truly been my clients who have supported me, praised me and helped me to get to this point in my business. So, I got together with one of my biggest supporters (my new neighbor) and we got this party planning started! I had so much fun at my grand opening celebration. I'm still on cloud 9! Michael Sell of The Broken Shutter captured the day for me with these beautiful images.
The Knob Noster Chamber of Commerce came and held a ribbon cutting ceremony for me! The delicious mini cupcakes were made by 118 Cakery in Warrensburg. I had custom cornhole boards made by Ford Product Design in Lee's Summit. Rollin Smoke BBQ & Catering LLC in Warrensburg came out & provided free samples of their delicious food (pulled pork, baked beans & cheesy potatoes). Udderly Cute Mini Moo Farms LLC brought their sweet baby cow, Toby, out to greet people. Outdoor decor (patio furniture, trees and indoor plants) was provided by Allstarz Barbershop. Everything was amazing! I can't thank them all enough for being a part of this special event!
Thank you to everyone who came out, I was blown away by how many people came to celebrate with me! I am so excited for the future of the studio and the next events I am already planning!
Thank you to all the families who came out to support me. I am forever grateful for each and every client who supports my small businesses.
My hope for the studio is for it to become a staple for Knob Noster and surrounding area families! I am already planning so many special events and I can’t wait to see everyone there again soon!
