Set up and clean up time is part of the rental time. Additional time before or after is not permitted in order to keep the space available for other rentals. The studio must be left as it is found by renters with the door locked.
No Smoking or Open Flames

To keep the space clean, no pets or live animals are permitted. Service pets are allowed.

No loud and overpowering noise/music. Please be respectful to other building tenets.
Parking at the studio

Renting for workshops
Currently we are only offering rental of the space for photography and other creative uses. If you are interested in using the space for a workshop, please contact us.
Studio Lighting
The studio has west facing windows that allow for beautiful natural light, especially in the afternoon. We do not have any artificial lights to use at this time. If you are wanting any off-camera lighting, you will be responsible to bring for your use.
Backdrops, Props & Studio EQUIPMENT
A white seamless backdrop and minimal black chairs are included with a rental. Additional backdrops, chairs and studio equipment are available at an extra cost and can be added on when booking. To see all available items, visit our Backdrops, Props & Equipment page.
Cancellation & Rescheduling
If the Client wishes to reschedule, a 48 hour notice is requested to be given to the Studio. In the case of rescheduling, the rental payment will carry over to the rescheduled rental. Rescheduling due to weather is allowed day-of and will be agreed upon by both Parties.
