About the Space

Our vintage wood photo / video production studio is very versatile and can easily be rearranged to accommodate a number of different setups and backdrops. There are large industrial windows that offer soft natural light throughout the day and warm golden hour. One of our walls is covered in vinyl records and is the perfect location for a music shoot or vintage look. We have 6 different solid color backdrops, all of which are available for free. There are 2 painted rolling walls which can be used as reflectors or backdrops. A studio manager will be on-site to assist for the duration of your shoot; we have a curtain room divider available for privacy / changing. There are blackout curtains available for the windows. The space has a few pieces of basic furniture which can be moved around easily; these items include desks, chairs, mirror and plants. Complimentary water and snacks. On warm winter days, the building does not shut the heat off; we have AC that can be turned on and the windows open as well, but we it doesn't hurt to dress in layers in the event you get hot.

What's up, I'm Holly! My work is rooted in observation, not imitation. I like to tell stories, ya know. My work moves past trends and curated aesthetics to capture something more honest: the subtle, unspoken essence of a person, a brand story, or moment. I pride myself in intentional stillness, creating a sense that nothing is forced and everything is felt, and through my work you can see your story unfold.Read more
