We’re located at The Studio at K|D—right in the heart of Tulsa—so there’s no worrying about having to drive a long way out of town for this fun experience.

As Seen in TulsaPeople: The Flower Farm at The Studio at K|D in Tulsa

We’re honored to share that our Flower Farm was recently featured in TulsaPeople! So we thought it was the perfect time to share more about how it came to be and what you can expect this season.

The Flower Farm is a key part of The Studio at K|D—a dream that began when Julia Kirkendall purchased five acres in Tulsa to serve as the new headquarters for her design business, Kirkendall Design. From the beginning, Julia imagined an interactive, event-driven space that would merge design, nature, and community—complete with blooming flower fields.

From the beginning, we partnered with The Heirloom Acre Farm to bring that vision to life. Together, we prepped the land and laid the groundwork. From there, The Heirloom Acre took the lead—leasing the land, cultivating the flower fields, and managing all U-Pick experiences.

Once flowers are ready for the season, we will be open every Saturday, along with a handful of special events—including a monthly Sunset U-Pick on Friday evenings and private weeknight U-Pick experiences.

Expect to see favorites like zinnias, sunflowers, celosia, cosmos, snapdragons, lisianthus, dahlias, and more. Each U-Pick is $20 and includes a large mason jar you can fill with your choice of fresh blooms.

Event schedules will be posted here and at TheHeirloomAcre.com and on Instagram at @theheirloomacrefarm and @thestudio_at_kd.

What Photographers Love about The Studio at K|D’s Photographry Studio

Posted on No Comments

It is so exciting to see The Studio at K|D being utilized by photographers and videographers. Our studio was made especially for photographers who specialize in corporate, branding, headshots, and portraits. We love seeing them work their creative magic with corporate clients who are also investing in their own businesses – it’s a win-win!

The Studio at K|D is more than just a photography studio; it’s a space designed to elevate the creative process. So what makes The Studio at K|D so special?

Here’s what photographers are saying they love about our space:

  1. Natural Light Abundance: Our studio is bathed in beautiful, natural light, thanks to the large 10-foot windows in every room. Say goodbye to harsh, artificial lighting and welcome an abundance of natural light for every photo shoot.
  2. Versatile Setups: We carefully designed The Studio at K|D with multiple luxury furnished vignettes for different scenes, ensuring photographers have all the flexibility they need. Whether they are capturing corporate headshots or dynamic branding shots, our space can adapt to any vision seamlessly.
  3. Spacious Rooms: Photographers appreciate the depth and roominess of our facility, providing ample space to bring creative ideas to life. No more feeling cramped or limited in their artistic endeavors!
  4. Diverse Materials: We believe that texture and variety can truly enhance your photography. Our studio features a wide array of textures and backdrops to experiment with.
  5. Matte Walls: Our matte walls provide a neutral and elegant background for subjects. They not only complement a variety of photography styles but also reduce glare and unwanted reflections.
  6. Whole Facility Access: We never double book so photographers have exclusive access to our entire facility during photoshoots.

Don’t just take their word for it! If you are a photographer or videographer, we invite you to come experience the studio for yourself. Your clients will thank you, and your portfolio will shine. Reach out today to book a tour of The Studio.

The Design Behind The Studio at K|D

Posted on No Comments

The driving force behind The Studio at K|D is founder and owner, Julia Kirkendall of Kirkendall Design. Since design is the backbone of our company, it was an exciting endeavor for Julia and the K|D design team to transform our commercial building into a high-end, versatile event space. Follow along as we take you behind the scenes of the transformation and design choices that brought The Studio at K|D to life.

Lighting Design

One of the design goals was to transition the space, with its functional 8’ fluorescent commercial lights, to a more warm, inviting atmosphere. Julia drew inspiration from her travels, particularly boutique hotels that used lighting in unique ways. We added lighting in unexpected ways and places, such as above windows and flanking office walls. Many of the selections act as a showroom for the lighting Kirkendall Design uses in clients’ spaces.

Our favorite feature, however, is the reclaimed pendant lighting sourced from a church that was being remodeled. This lighting, with its cathedral-like grandeur, subtly nods to Kirkendall Design’s core values while also illuminating the high ceilings of The Studio.
