about
Our charming 550 sq/ft daylight studio is in the historic Pioneer Square. This space is geared toward portrait photography sessions and smaller productions, but is not limited to events, workshops, yoga sessions, & dinners!
space
The overall studio is 18' wide and 30' long and the shooting space is 18'x15'. There are three large windows facing west giving really good morning light and softer light thereafter. We have a cement wall that's painted grey, a white wall, and large windows. We have a mini kitchen with glasses for water. Additional amenities include: a huge Sony XB7 Bluetooth speaker w/ line-in for larger events, First Aid Kit, & tampons. Bathroom is down the hall. ABSOLUTELY NO GLITTER ALLOWED. We have over 100 year old floors, and I'd love to preserve its character and integrity.
