Please be sure to straighten up after your shoots. If you moved furniture, it needs to be put back where you found it. We ask that any and all messes are cleaned up and that the space be returned as you found it. Failure to do so may result in a cleaning fee.

Please arrive promptly at your rental time AND you must leave at your departure time. Please be sure to factor in set up/tear down time. There is the option to add on 30 minutes if you feel you’ll need it for clean up. The studio is booked with back to back timeslots, so we ask that you respect that and do not stay past your rental time. If you or stay beyond your designated rental time, you will be charged a $40 late fee - NO EXCEPTIONS.

Bookings are non-refundable. Should you need to reschedule, we ask that you do so at least 24 hours in advance so that you do not lose your payment.
