Reesa A.
Classic Hilltop Mid-Century Modern Private Residence w/Spectacular Views
was a wonderful host. Very attentive, helpful and kind. We used his beautiful home as a space for our family and friends to get together for a proposal and photoshoot. We met weeks before to do a walk through to ensure this was the location we wanted. The home was...
Gabriela M.
Urban Loft with large windows & modern boho feel
the studio was just as advertised. I used the studio to host my mini Photoshoots for Valentines and the lighting from the windows was perfect, all natural lighting. Space was limited but perfect for small families as it provided different areas to photograph against. Will definitely book this studio again...
Marie M.
Steve Nicks meets Don Draper
The kitchen and dining area have beautiful light - better than the photos show! The family room is a bit darker than the photos made it seem, but still beautiful. Also - the furniture is arranged differently than in the photo, which is fine, but since we aren't allowed to rearrange...
Daniel G.
