Frequently Asked Questions

Are pets allowed in the studio?

Sure! We love furry models :) Like after every shoot, we just ask that you clean up after yourself - and your friend.

Can I tour the space before I book time?

Sure! We are happy to show off the studio. Get in touch and we can schedule a time.

I love the studio but I am not a photographer. Do you rent for events?

Sure! We host classes, trainings and parties. Get in touch!

Is glitter allowed in studio?

NOPE. Thank you in advance for respecting this rule. Glitter is very hard to clean up and we want to keep the studio space clean for other renters.

How about candles?

No open flames in the studio please!

Can I shoot boudoir?

Absolutely.

Can I cancel my appointment?

You can reschedule no later than 48 hours before your shoot. We do not offer refunds for any studio rentals, however we will make every effort to get you rescheduled.

How far can I book in advance?

60 days

Can multiple photographers shoot at the same time, a group shoot?

One photographer/videographer is allowed to shoot at the studio per rental. Additional photographers are $25 each and may be added when you book under “add-on”

Can I hang things on the wall?

Please do not put nails or pins in the walls or backdrops. Putty or Command Strips are okay. Remember you are 100% liable for damage to the studio during your session so treat the walls with care.

I am a local business and I want to shoot at Photopia but I don’t have a photographer. Can you recommend one?

Absolutely! We have talented photographers on staff and as monthly members. Get in touch and we can recommend the photographer we think will be the best fit for your company. We can also recommend great make-up artists, stylists, art directors and more. We have talented friends :)

What if I notice damage when i get to the studio?

Let us know right away! We’d hate for you to be held responsible for something someone else damaged!

What if I need more time than I booked?

If you are in the studio and need more time added to your rental, we can do that at the front desk. As long as no one is booked in the space after you, you are welcome to add on more time.

Can I use the lights?

Two lights are included in your rental if you need them.

Can I use the Props?

All props are included in your rental. We just ask that you treat them well and don’t drag the furniture across the floor.

Can I bring my own props?

Totally! We’re located in a single floor building with large double entry doors.

How soon can I book the studio?

The online scheduler will let you book no sooner than 6 hours in advance. Members may book up to one hour in advance.

What if my client is late?

Unfortunately, we have no control over this. Often times other photographers will be booked right after you on the schedule. If time is available, you are more than welcome to book another hour.
