Touring groups through our new developments, such as Brick Row, as they are being completed are some of our favorite moments. Especially if those we are touring through had a part in making it happen - like we were able to today. Thank you to @michiganbusiness, @purelansing, LEAP THRIVE, @lansingedc, @lansingbwl, and @chooselansing.

Light….camera….action!
As the cinematographer and the second “A”behind AA Studios, Alex brings a different perspective to every project. His work goes beyond operating a camera - it’s about understanding the story, finding the right visual language, and creating something that connects with an audience.

As part of EMPOWER program with @lansingedc , Alex recently found himself on the other side of the camera for a change.

It was a fun change of perspective, but also a reminder that good storytelling starts with understanding how a story is experienced from both sides of the lens.

A little “meta moment” from filming our @aa.studios.pro promo through the EMPOWER program with @lansingedc — our client in front of the camera, me behind it, and another photographer/videographer capturing the moment of me photographing the client.

A photo of a photographer taking a photo, while someone else photographs the process. It doesn’t get much more behind-the-scenes than that! ;)

It’s a pretty good representation of what we love doing: creating, collaborating, and telling stories through visual content.

Usually, I’m the one behind the camera. This time, I ended up in front of it.

I recently had the opportunity to participate in a session organized through the EMPOWER program with @lansingedc , and it was definitely a different experience being the subject instead of the photographer.

Being on the other side of the camera was also a good reminder of how vulnerable it can feel to be photographed. As photographers, we spend so much time helping clients feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, but experiencing it ourselves gives you a whole new perspective.

Grateful for opportunities like this that push me outside of my usual role, help me learn, and connect me with other local business owners.

Always learning. Always growing.

The best time to start is rarely the perfect time.
Often, you simply decide to begin and figure things out along the way. As long as you keep moving forward, one step at a time, you’re making progress.
At the end of the day, progress isn’t made by waiting
- it’s made by making things happen.

We are “testing the waters” to gauge investor interest in a potential offering under Regulation Crowdfunding. While we would love to hear from you about your interest in investing, at this time we are not asking for a commitment or for any money. Please don’t send us any money, since we cannot accept it and will have to return it to you. Only if and when we file an offering statement on Form C with the SEC will we be able to accept money or anything else of value from investors; and even then, any payment must be made through a licensed crowdfunding portal. For now, an indication of interest is not binding and involves no obligation of any kind.

The Manns are going on a new adventure. While Nathan’s official opening is scheduled for a couple months from now, he is beginning the process of accepting new patients. @mannkinddpc is also thankful to have received a grant from the @lansingedc for façade enhancements that are happening this spring and summer.

It would mean so much to us if you could help:
🗣️ spread the word
♥️ consider joining the membership
📣 cheering us on

Looking ahead there is a mix of emotions, excited, nervous, and above all grateful. I’m especially excited to watch Nate develop a healthier work-life balance, confident that he’s fostering a warm and compassionate environment for the Greater Lansing community to access caring family medicine.
