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. Long marble conference/dining table, huge flat screen monitor and comfy furniture. 2 free all day designated parking spots. Freight elevator and loading dock. Perfect for photoshoots, 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 rearranging/restyling, I like to talk beforehand about what those plans are and how to smoothly execute them. In many of those cases, I join the team as the stylist and work leading up to, and on the day(s) of the shoot, to style my space with props (artwork, decorative accessories, textiles, plants, small furnishings) pulled specifically for 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.

Heather F. booked a production for 8 people
Sarah's space is beautiful; well designed and very well kept. She had almost everything we needed there, which was a huge support / beneficial because we didn't have to do a ton of reconfiguring, which feels like the ideal way to use the space. Load-in / parking / load-out could not have been easier thanks to the ample parking lot and freight elevator. The studio is in a safe neighborhood, conveniently located right off the freeway, which allowed for easy access. I would not hesitate to book Sawmill Studio again!
Alison Y. booked an off-site for 3 people
Really lovely space with a variety of areas to photograph in. The host Sarah clearly takes great care in creating and maintaining such a beautiful studio. She's also very responsive and easy to communicate with as well as super COVID conscious.

Great space and host!
Beatriz S. booked a production for 8 people
Rented this space for a live zoom interactive mental health seminar. The space is great for photos, and has 4 different arias that you could choose from with different sceneries. We did have wi-Fi issues only when there were more than four people logged onto their Wi-Fi. The host quickly responded to our issue and compensated us for lost time since we were filming live on zoom. I would definitely rent the space again and the host prior to rental answered all my specific questions I had.
