BrushCo. Studio is my home studio that I rent out to other creatives, photographers, and videographers for their photoshoots. If you are looking for more information on hiring a photographer click here for pricing. Rentals are $60 an hour with a 2 hour minimum or 30 min for $50 and 1 hour for $75.

The studio has white brick & white walls with 2 giant (sunrise) east facing windows that are wonderful for natural light. The studio is not handicap accessible due to stairs, and no elevator.

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. This means if your rental ends at 2pm you and your party must be out the door at 2pm. We often have back to back bookings, and need to set up for the next rental so please be respectful. The Studio Manager will take care of handling all paper backdrop set ups and tear downs. Please let us know when you're ready to switch colors. If I can hear the paper rustling you're too close to backdrop. Any damage done to seamless paper backdrops will result in a charge of $5 per foot. Do not touch or sit against the paper backdrop your body oil will stain the paper, and crinkle it! (There will be plexiglass down to protect floor) Damage examples; tears, stains, dirt footprints, water damage etc. One backdrop is included for every hour rented with the exception of the 30 min rental which does not include a backdrop.
