Policies

RESERVATION START/END TIMES
Rental time ends when the last person in your group walks out of the studio. Please keep this in mind when planning your photoshoot. If you will need extra time to set up or break down, factor this into your time. A fee of $30 per 15 minutes will be charged for failure to vacate the studio at your designated time. Please be thoughtful of Clients/Renters who have reserved the studio after you.

CLEANING/RESETTING
Client/Renter must clean and reset the studio to how it looked upon arrival. If the studio is requiring cleaning/resetting after their session, the cleaning fee will be added and will depend on the amount of work required ($25 minimum). Confetti, glitter, flour, or other hard to clean items are not permitted. Rose petals must be swept up and placed in the trash cans prior to the end of your reservation. If doing a milk/bubble bath, the tub will need to be drained and wiped with cleaner prior to the end of your session. Larger items such as flower bouquets, empty bags of fast food must be taken out of the studio. Items which have a strong odor (such as diapers) must be taken out of the studio. Dumpsters are located in the rear of the building. No smoking, paint, baby oil, or other sticky/oily liquids allowed in the studio. Projects involved with smoke/fog/paint have to get studio representative’s consent.
