You will find Carisa K Photography utilizing the unique space and gorgeous light at Source the Space for photography sessions, dance classes, and maybe even a homeschool class or two. 

"I’ve spent over two decades capturing the unique personalities and quirks of people as well as their beloved pets through photography. There’s nothing more inspiring and joyful to me than documenting the bond between family members and between families and their animal companions. It’s truly where I feel most at home. 

In 2015, I began a homeschooling program called Thrive Space, for Central PA homeschoolers and cyberschoolers. The program has grown to include my twin sister and another homeschooling mama as teacher guides. Thrive Space offers in-person classes and enrichment activities for tweens and teens.
 
As a seasoned entrepreneur, I thrive on building new ventures, exploring creative ideas, and branching out into new art forms. One of my favorite side projects? Teaching swing dance lessons through my twin sister’s dance company, The Rhythm Lounge. Dancing is the spark that keeps the fire in my soul burning.
 
When I’m not behind the lens, leading a class at Thrive Space, or attending a West Coast Swing or Lindy Hop dance event, you might find me writing, painting, or baking.   Balancing all these passions means I’m constantly seeking new ways to blend creativity, discipline, and improvisation in everything I do.
 
And when I’m not doing any of that, you’ll likely find me with my favorite child, cozied up on a couch that’s too small, books in hand, and a scruffy dog snoring beside us.
P.S. I only have one child. "

As Source gets busier and our studio fam grows with our studio memberships, we’re leaning into what it means to be part of a shared creative space.

That means:
🪴 If you move a plant, give it a lil walk back home.
🛋️ If you rearrange the furniture, make sure it finds its way 
🧱 If you roll a wall out, roll it back to its corner.
🌸 If your shoot brings the drama (like confetti or flower petals), make sure the only thing you leave behind is good energy.
🔒 Double (quadruple!) check that both front and back studio doors are locked. Our building is shared with the restaurant below, so security matters.
⏰ Book enough time for setup and cleanup. Leaving things as you found them is part of the magic.

We don’t have a reset crew between rentals, so it’s on all of us to help set the stage for the next person walking in with big ideas and a tight timeline.

Let’s keep the vibes high and the space ready. 💛

TL;DR: Leave it how you found it, lock the doors, and don’t forget to book cleanup time.

Your client may be the one in front of the camera… but the way the sun pours through these windows??

Sometimes it just stops you.

So you, yeah YOU… in between shots, take a minute. Bask in the light. Let it warm your face. Let your client breathe. Let yourself breathe.

You’re allowed to slow down, even while you’re creating. Soak up the dreamy light.

Coming soon — and by soon, we mean Wednesday 👀

Source Memberships are for folks who need access to regular studio time beyond just one-off rentals..but without the stress of a long-term lease.

Whether you’re a photographer, videographer, content creator, artist, yoga teacher, coach, or hosting a monthly
gathering — this is for you.

We will only have (5) memberships available & there will be an application and an interview. Not because we’re gatekeeping, but because we care deeply about the community we’re building and want this to feel aligned for everyone involved.

We’ve painted them, wallpapered them, turned them into murals, wrapped them in florals, and rolled them across the room a thousand times…

These rolling walls have served as the canvas for countless color stories, textures, and ideas.

We’re dreaming up the next round and want your input.

Glow up of the century… inside and out.

From orange walls and cheetah carpet to crisp, white, natural light studio space inside…from boring painted brick to bold, bright vibrant Stephen Michael Haas mural outside—this building has lived many lives.

Before Source, our space was the legendary Checkered Past—a vintage goldmine and rite of passage for so many of you (piercings, anyone? 👀🖤).

And for decades, it’s been home to the beloved Neato Burrito downstairs, a true New Cumberland staple.

We know this building holds memories.

💬 Tell us yours:

Did you shop here? Get pierced here? Just roam the racks with friends after school? Eat burritos before a show ?

Navigating a creative business…especially one that’s part rentable studio, part branding and headshot biz, plus all of our own individual businesses—is no small feat. Add in life, and yeah... clarity can slip through the cracks.

The past few months brought burnout and a whole lot of questioning. We weren’t always sure what direction to go, and to be honest, we sometimes contradicted ourselves in the process. Creative brains, amiright?

But through all of it, we kept digging. We tried new ideas, explored different types of events, collaborated with folks we admire, and got quiet enough to listen—to each other, to our community, and to ourselves.

A huge thank you to the people who held space for us, offered honest feedback, and reminded us of what we’ve always known deep down:

We love sharing this space—with creatives, with our community, and with folks marking meaningful moments in their lives.

We’ve realigned and we’re ready. With more clarity, more creativity, and a renewed commitment to making Source what it was always meant to be. And we’ve got some awesome things to share in the coming days 😍

We’d love to hear from you—what new things do you want to see from Source in the coming months?
