As one happy reviewer commented: “This was my first time ever using Peerspace and I’m so happy I came to this studio for that! We wanted to have a little intimate shoot as my friend wanted some photos in her attire for the Hmong New Year. We also shot a few portraits and some in preparation for Valentine’s Day. The hostess/manager was amazing and super helpful and welcoming. I would definitely come back, the space itself is quite large and has SO much creative potential.”
