If your rental ends at 2pm, you and your party must be out the door at 2pm (not last camera click or cleaning.)

i. BOOK THE DATE & HOURS & ADD ONS.


Select how many hours you'd like, add lighting or extra backdrops to your package, and choose the best date for your schedule. Be sure to factor any clean-up and tear-downs into your booking time. You may come 10 min early to set up, but please have the studio cleaned and exited promptly at the end of your time, or you will be charged. If your rental ends at 2pm, you and your party must leave at 2pm. We often have back-to-back bookings with only 5 minutes to set up for the next rental, so please be respectful.

II. ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS & CHOOSE BACKDROP COLOR


When booking, you will encounter a questionnaire. It will ask you a few quick questions so that we can prepare for your photo shoot and go over our rental agreement to ensure that we're all on the same page. One optional backdrop color is included with your rental, except for the 30 minutes when you rent the space as is. Another color can be added for an additional $20. If you wish to have a specific backdrop color, please specify it at least 24 hours before the session by updating the booking form. The Studio Manager will take care of all paper backdrop setups and tear-downs. Please make sure you're not too close to the backdrop; if you can hear the paper rustling, you're too close. Any damage done to seamless paper backdrops will result in a charge of $5 per foot. Please refrain from touching or sitting against the paper backdrop, as body oil can stain and crease it. We have plexiglass down to protect the floor. Examples of damage include tears, stains, dirt footprints, and water or cake damage.

If you don't want a backdrop, that's fine! Just keep in mind that not having a backdrop (e.g., white wainscot doors) still counts as having a backdrop. If you want the paper to be pulled up or down during your rental, it will be considered an additional backdrop color since the studio managers will need to come twice for set-ups and tear-downs.

What does "As Is" Mean on the 30 min rental?

A backdrop color is not included for 30 min rentals, and you are renting the space as is. "As is" means that there may be paper randomly pulled down or up. If you want to guarantee that no paper is down, or if you have a specific color preference, please add a backdrop color to your booking.
