As we near the end of 2025, this seemed like the right time for a new chapter to begin. Next month, it will be 5 years since I opened Rouge and my studio in uptown Butte.
Over the last 5 years, I have gotten to meet so many amazing women , host fun events at the studio, and truly do something I love doing. But, at the end of 2024, I was feeling very burnt out from life, my career, the studio, everything... I had to take some big steps back in 2025 with a lot of life changes that added to the burn out in the first half of the year and I was barely spending any time in the studio at all.
By the middle of summer, I wanted to spend more time in the studio again but I decided I needed to open a studio closer to home and, in September, I finally found the perfect studio space in Belgrade. But then the fall was my busiest I have had with my family photography brand, Rachel Krug Photography, and I didn't get to spend the time I wanted to there. Then the flooring got delayed and didn't actually happen until the middle of October. Then it was Christmas photos and the holidays...
But now, as we head into 2026, I want to officially announce that I will be back in the studio to capture all you amazing queens and that Rouge will now be Intimate Artistry by Rachel Krug!
My book for the new studio in Belgrade are open for sessions starting January 1st!
Thank you to all my amazing clients that have had so much patience with me over the last year and all of those who have cheered me on since I started Rouge 🤍
PS- stay tuned for Valentine's Day minis and some ladies events at the studio soon!
