Reviews

  • This studio had everything we needed for our shoot! A nice variety of furniture on wheels and backdrops, the natural light was plentiful with large windows, and the light flowy curtains were perfect for our boudoir session. Leslie was very communicative and helpful, I will definitely be renting this studio again!
