What is included in a rental?

I’d like to offer mini-sessions but I’m not sure if they will book. Can I reserve a time slot while I advertise and reschedule if I need to?
You can! If offering mini sessions, we recommend reserving a timeslot as soon as you begin advertising to ensure rentals are not booked during the dates and times you are trying to sell. If you don’t have the turnout expected, we provide the option for you to easily reschedule up to 48 hours before your rental as many times as you need using the rescheduling link at the bottom of your rental confirmation email. When rescheduling, you’ll have the flexibility to choose any available date and time up to 120 days in advance. There are no limits on the number of times you can reschedule.
For members on our creative plus membership ($175/month) you have the full flexibility to schedule a session block that can be cancelled at anytime with no money down.
Who is the studio designed for?
Our studio has been designed with photographers in mind as a space with a beautiful flow of soft natural light to meet with clients and capture images with ease. We understand that having a full time dedicated commercial space for photography is not always cost effective and bringing clients to your home isn’t always the safest option. Our studio ensures you have someone from our staff always available if you need them while giving you a large structural canvas to create captivating images that you love.
We’re perfect for photographers who:
Would Like A Lot of Space. Our studio is much wider in open space than most traditional studios to give you plenty of room to work. Say goodbye to being restricted to only using wide lenses in studio when you want the full scene.
Prefer a Blank Canvas. Our cyclorama wall provides the perfect blank canvas to ensure the only detail is exactly what you want it to be. The cyclorama wall is also perfect for editorial work and branding headshots when there’s a need for a quick remove backgrounds for advertisements.
Love White Modern Spaces. Between our cyclorama wall, arch, and box trimmed wall, our studio is a perfect fit for photographers who love white open spaces with accents of modern furniture and decor.
Lighting As You Want it to Be. Our studio is not only limited to the natural look, with over 70 feet of pipe and drap systems, our studio can be quickly converted to any lighting scenario you need it to be. But, if you’re craving natural light, a luxury in studio space, our studio features large front doors with large window panels set away from the direction of direct sun to create a soft natural light in the studio.
Want To Skip The Costly Upkeep of Furniture, Dresses, and Props. Let’s face it, studios are expensive, but what’s even more expensive are all the little details that are needed to make a session perfect for your paying clients. Our studio not only provides the space, but also gives you the freedom to explore our ever growing selection of tools to make it easier for you to focus on the photos you love.
Would Like to Walk In & Start Shooting. While our space is incredibly versitile, we have an ongoing commitment to create new sets each month to make it easy for photographers to come in and get right to work.
What type of sessions are most ideal for your studio?
Our studio is perfect for almost any type of indoor session including senior photos, bridal portraits, fashion photography, modeling, family portraits, cake smashes, couples, branding, and milestones.
If there are certain items or backdrops I would like to use, can I let you know beforehand?
Absolutely! In fact, we prefer it! We try to make each rental as easy as possible for you, so we try to pull out items and set up lighting based on what you may use before you arrive making it easier for you to focus on what you love. The more we know, the better set the studio will be for your rental.
Do items and backdrops change out often?
Half and half. The front beauty stations, living room set and cyclorama wall always stay the same, but we do change out the center seamless paper stations, dress up the arch, and create a vibrant backdrop once a month.
Can another photographer and myself share a rental time?
Absolutely! Our studio is large enough for more than one photographer to work at a time. If there is a photographer that you love working with that may be having sessions at the same time and you would like to share the space/cost, you are more than welcome to have someone else there during your rental.
Help! I have a session/intimate ceremony scheduled and need an indoor space. Can I use the studio?
Of course! Our studio is the perfect place to capture images when the weather outside isn’t in your favor. Bookings are available online with as little notice as an hour by clicking here. If you don’t see the timeslot bookable on our rental page or the need is super last minute, reach out to us using our contact form by clicking here. Our emails are monitored even after hours, so we are super quick to respond.
I am having a cake smash during my rental. Can my client or myself drop off a cake beforehand?
You can! We do have a refrigerator in our breakroom to store a cake if needed. Just send us a message to let us know when to expect someone.
I heard there is an onsite receptionist. Will they be there during my entire rental?
Yes, someone is always there to greet you when you arrive and help move furniture/setup as needed, but during your rental, especially after you clients arrive, our staff stays in the breakroom to ensure you have privacy. Please know, though, if you need help with something we are just a room away if you need us!
Are you pet friendly?
We love our furry friends! Dogs and cats are always welcome. The only thing we require is an up-to-date rabies vaccination.
