The Archer Atelier A creative studio for photographers and artists, nestled inside the historic Hathaway Creative Center in Waterville, Maine

Designed with intention and heart, The Archer Atelier is a space for dreamers and doers. A place where creativity unfolds naturally in an atmosphere that feels calm, light-filled, and endlessly inspiring.

A space for creators

Every image, idea, and story brought to life here adds to the energy that makes The Archer Atelier so special. Thank you for being part of it.

I can’t wait to see what you create within these walls.

Opening a studio that I could share with others has been a dream of mine for many years. 

As a photographer myself, I know the importance of having a space that supports your creative flow and invites you to slow down, breathe, and simply create. The Archer Atelier was born from that desire to offer a space where light, art, and story meet. I’m beyond grateful to have turned that dream into something real and to be able to share it with my creative community.

The Vision

The Archer is surrounded by original white brick walls and warm hardwood floors, with generous windows that flood the studio with soft, natural light throughout the day. 

Every corner has been thoughtfully curated to inspire connection and creative freedom; from the simple, timeless furniture to the small, collected details that make the space feel like home. Whether you’re capturing a portrait session, hosting a workshop, or dreaming up something entirely your own, this space was created to adapt and evolve with you.
