This afternoon, we had the absolute pleasure of celebrating the opening of Frame 55 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the charming town of Hope, Indiana! Brand new to the region, this vibrant public photography studio and gathering space was built on the belief that every moment deserves a frame – and here, those moments are captured in style. An awesome addition to Hope’s small-town charm, Frame 55 is ready to welcome locals, visitors, and photographers alike into a space full of creativity, warmth, and connection.
Founded by Jody Westerfeld, Frame 55 is so much more than a studio. It’s a thoughtfully designed space that sparks inspiration, fosters community, and celebrates life’s most meaningful occasions. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer seeking a dynamic backdrop, a family preserving life’s milestones, or a group searching for a unique event venue, Frame 55 welcomes you with open arms (and great setups)!
With its versatile layout, stylish backdrops, and thoughtful design, Frame 55 offers endless possibilities for portraits, styled shoots, celebrations, meetings, and more. Every element – from the cozy, modern touches to the open, adaptable floor plan – has been curated to make guests feel at home while giving their memories the spotlight they deserve. Among the props and backdrops, you’ll even find intentional family heirlooms, each holding a story special to Jody and her family – adding a personal touch and authentic charm that makes the space truly one of a kind.
Booking at Frame 55 runs by the hour, giving clients and photographers flexibility to make the most of their time. The backdrops will change throughout the year and with the seasons, making it the perfect location for photographers offering mini sessions, themed shoots, or simply wanting variety and fresh inspiration for their clients. In addition to the photography area, Frame 55 also features a welcoming gathering space available for rent – perfect for small parties, showers, meetings, or any intimate celebration.
Jody’s mission is simple yet powerful: to frame the moments that matter most. In doing so, she has created a space that isn’t just about photos – it’s about community, storytelling, and shared experiences. Frame 55 is where milestones are celebrated, creativity flourishes, and every snapshot tells a story worth remembering!
