About the Space
Large studio loft run by artist and prop/interior stylist. 1500sf flex space featuring exposed brick walls, hand-painted details, and original (cleared) artwork. 10' ceilings, concrete floors, large windows, full kitchen, and bath. 2 free all day designated parking spots. Freight elevator and loading dock. Perfect for photo shoots, workshops, presentations, off-sites, and retreats. * Please include a brief description of your intended activities when inquiring about availability * ** a note on furnishings and props included ** The studio comes furnished and decorated, which varies a little bit depending on the most recent projects in the space. The images here are pretty current, but things do shift around, in and out. If there are items pictured that you want to use during your rental, please inquire to make sure they are available. Most guests use the studio styled mostly as-is, with minimal additions and subtractions. Examples would be swapping out a piece of art on the wall, using a few dishes or moving small objects. Guests are welcome to gently utilize the space and minimally rearrange contents for their purposes. Resetting the studio afterward is much appreciated (and before photos help a lot). When photo or video productions have multiple sets that require major rearranging/restyling, I like to talk beforehand about what those plans are and how to smoothly execute them. I'm happy to learn more about your styling needs and discuss the goods and service add-ons that I offer here in addition to location rental.

Great spot - we used it for a small team offsite and everyone really enjoyed the space - so much that they stayed an extra two hours and Sarah was kind enough to accommodate!

The Sawmill Studio Loft is a true one-of-a-kind! I'm a realtor and I utilized the space for a business professional commercial shoot; all of the scenes came out exactly as I envisioned. I highly recommend this space if your looking for a versatile environment that allows for a multitude of different looks.
Jen T. booked a production for 5 people
We had a perfect shoot here. The space is beautiful and clean with plenty of vignettes and great light. There's also a freight elevator which made bringing gear up and down. Plus, Sarah was incredibly responsive and lovely to work with.
