the frame

end of an era. of course, this was a difficult decision to make, but i’ve never felt more confident about what’s next. i had an idea i knew would work, and it did. beyond anything i could’ve imagined. the frame has been one of the greatest things i’ll ever create. it set the bar for what’s possible and what’s to come. i built it with every fiber of who i am. i did it. i won. i learned. a space you all enjoyed, created in, shared in—we got to experience something special. a blank canvas for your own frame of imagination. thank you to every single person who came through, booked, believed, or simply shared a kind word. tony & cannon, you’ve been the best neighbors i could’ve asked for. thank you for becoming family. @thephotooutfitters to the charlotte community, to the city i was born and raised in, thank you. i know you’ll keep creating, building, and showing up for each other. you always do. and to winston-salem, thank you for welcoming me with open arms. even in our short time together, you showed up with so much heart. i’m so incredibly proud of what i built, and i hope the frame will continue to inspire. both locations will close after may 31st. if you’ve been meaning to book one last session, now’s the time. the frame, as we know it, is wrapping up. but you already know… this isn’t the end.

last day for bookings is may 31!

our new backdrop color is now available at both studios!

women’s history month came and went… and look at us, showing up fashionably late to the feed. but the flower bar in winston? pure magic. thank you to everyone who stopped by, made bouquets, and filled the studio with beauty and love. we celebrate women all year long—this moment was just one of many.

your lens. your light. your studio. memberships at the frame give you more of what you love: creative freedom, space to shoot, and time to grow. all deets are on our site!

some seats just feel different. where’s your favorite place to slow down and just be?

daylight savings means more golden hour at our winston location—more light, more time to create. book your session today. ✨

we’re still thinking about PIXELS & BPM! dj @niyahwhya shut down the frame to bring in good vibes, great music and a place for us all to create. photo: @thebessphotos

Arise O Artist imagine us understanding different experiences. Arise O Artist reminded us of the power that art holds through softness, kindness, persistence. emily sage opened her world to us through sound, touch, and sight. let us all continue to put beauty into the world. a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out for our first art in the frame!

arise o artist is an exploration of word & sound by emily sage, the first artist in our new residency program. this immersive exhibition invites us into a meditative experience on slowness, deep listening, and creation as an act of presence. an independent songwriter, composer, and sound artist, emily’s work is rooted in jazz, soul, and cinematic music. drawing from poetry, painting, and immersive installations, she explores sound as a medium for emotion and storytelling—each piece a reflection on what it means to be alive. join us on friday, february 21st, at 6pm for opening night—an evening to experience the exhibition, engage with the work, and connect with the artist. on saturday, join us for bloom, an interactive workshop where emily will guide artists and writers through the power of language—poetry, lyrics, and prose—to break creative barriers and deepen artistic voice. pay what you can. exhibit schedule: friday, february 21st – opening night 6pm-9pm saturday, february 22nd – exhibit 10am-2pm | workshop 6pm-8pm sunday, february 23rd – exhibit 10am-2pm photo: @thelyonswood #ariseoartist #intheframe #wordandsound #bloom #artistresidency #theframenc
