Good news!
I've finally procured a permanent studio location where we can conduct our SWMOCC portrait sessions. It's only 8.5 miles (12 minutes) from my home in Forsyth, MO. It's located in Kirbyville, and takes just under an hour to travel to from Springfield.
This increase in travel time for most club members is offset by flexibility in terms of portrait session frequency, session duration, and opportunities for individual member instruction sessions. I've just completed repairs and cleaning of the rental unit, and will be setting up the lighting equipment this weekend.
I'd like to propose an open (no theme) SWMOCC portrait session to be held Saturday, 31 March as sort of a "grand opening" event. If I can get even a few RSVPs by this weekend, I'll set it up for that date.
We will, of course, also need to round up at least three or so guest models for this shoot, so please ask friends or family members for volunteers if you are planning to attend. As in past sessions, bringing a guest model is not a prerequisite for attending, but we will need to find some folks to model for us.
I will be available at this Thursday's club meeting to answer questions and take suggestions for the proposed portrait session, or just e-mail me with questions, ideas or RSVPs at richsmith@mchsi.com. I will provide a map to the studio as an attachment to portrait session invitation e-mail messages.
If interested, please RSVP as soon as you are able so we can get this session scheduled and locked in for March 31st. Based on my personal schedule and the club events calendar, it looks like April 28th would be our next window of opportunity, assuming we are to hold the session on a Saturday. Sundays after 12:00 noon are another possibility as well.
I'm excited about all the new opportunities made possible by this new studio for those club members involved in portraiture. I'll be soliciting feedback from members in the near future regarding interest in video/performance-based workshops, as well as one-on-one instruction (by appointment) at the new studio.

Congratz on the location. This has been longtime waiting to aquire a place. I'm sure that these sessions will yield outstanding results like the ones in the past.
I hope that other turn out for these sessions because there is so much to learn from studio work.
