'Absolutely buzzing': Oswestry photographer can't wait to get new studio open to help create memories
The new photography studio which is run by a local woman is a brand-new edition to the indoor market
A young photographer in north Shropshire is “buzzing” to get her new studio open later this month.
Kizzy-Mae Rowbotham, 28, is opening her new photography studio inside Oswestry Indoor Market on October 24.
The young woman only launched her new business - Kizzy-Mae Photography - in July.
She said: “I have been taking photos my whole life, from being a young child to an adult. It is a passion of mine - I love it.”
After a few years away from work whilst she raised her young children, Kizzy-Mae, a former musician, decided that she wanted to stay on the creative side of things, so she took the plunge and launched the new business venture.
Kizzy-Mae specialises in portrait photography, taking photos of families, children, couples, and pets.
The Oswestry businesswoman also does corporate and equestrian photography, she said.
Since the business launched in July, Kizzy-Mae has had to do the majority of her work without having a permanent home for her operation.
However, after recent business meetings with market bosses, the Oswestry woman managed to secure a space to operate in the hall.
Asked about what she hopes her new business and studio will achieve in the future, Kizzy-Mae said: “I want to bring to Oswestry a place where people can come and make memories, but which does not require a massive budget - I want to keep it accessible.”
She added: “I know how much it means to have these memories and to be able to access them, being a mother myself, I know what it is like.”
The photographer went on to say: “I just really want to bring a loving space that creates lasting memories for everyone that they will be able to treasure and look back on.”
Kizzy-Mae said that there were so many people to thank for supporting her new business, including her partner, her family, and key figures from the market itself.
Asked about how excited she is to get going, Kizzy-Mae said: “Oh, I am absolutely buzzing. I am 10 out of 10 excited. We are in the studio now decorating it.”
There will be an official launch event on October 24 at 11am that will include special guests such as the Mayor of Oswestry, Councillor Jonathan Upton.
