Included Amenities
Frequently Asked Questions
STUDIO A VS STUDIO B
Studio A is our main studio. Booking this space will also give you access to the kitchen and lounge. The boudoir room is an add on to this studio. The available props in this space are more colorful and range from vintage, boho, and a bit modern.
Studio B is our newer secondary studio (across the hall) that's more minimalist and modern. All of the props available for use in this space are neutral tones. While booking Studio B does not get you access to the kitchen, lounge, or boudoir areas, you'll find unique new textures around this space.
Both spaces are priced out equally, the rest is up to you!
back
Test vs production
Test shoots are short with a maximum of up to 4 hours and groups of up to 8 people total. This is an affordable option for photographers that are portfolio-building or shooting simple client sessions, such as portraits, boudoir sessions, or basic product photos.
We offer our full-service rental options as Production bookings. These can be booked as longer sessions further in advance. If you are shooting video, planning an extensive shoot that has a full team involved, or you need more than 4 hours, you would want to book your session as a Production.
back
CANCELLATION & RESCHEDULING
All reservations are non-refundable. Reservations can be rescheduled once up to 72 hours in advance. Any cancellation or rescheduling outside of these terms is subject to our team’s discretion.
back
INSURANCE, SAFETY & ACCOUNTABILITY
Although recommended, insurance is not required for normal hourly rentals. Renters are liable for any damages or fees incurred, and we require having a card on file for liability purposes. By reserving your appointment, you acknowledge that you've read and agree to our day rental policies.
The safety of our clients and their guests are top priorities. The studio is equipped with video surveillance for security and liability purposes, and we always have staff on site to help alleviate any issues or concerns.
back
EARLY ARRIVAL OR EXTENDING YOUR SESSION
Your reservation starts at the time that you book online, and it's possible someone may be booked following your session. It's encouraged to book more than just your "shoot time" if you need to set up and tear down. Please let us know if you happen to run late and if there's anything we can do to help get things rolling right away.
If there is someone immediately following your session, there is a $75 fee for going overtime. If the studio is available, you are welcome to extend your session at $75 / hour ($50 / hour for test shoots).
back
RIGHTS TO PRIVACY
Your reservation includes exclusive use of the studio space, with no one else sharing any parts of it. While we always have staff on site in our dedicated office, you will generally be left alone and uninterrupted during your session in the studio. We are available for assistance when needed, but any privacy requests will be respected.
back
ARRIVAL PROCESS
Our studio is more than just a space we offer to shoot in; it's a full-fledged service. On the time of your reservation, simply notify us of your arrival and we will escort you into the space through our secure building. Our staff is available to help you load in, as well as get you all set up with anything else you may need throughout the duration of your shoot, whether it's putting up backdrops, studio lights, or just preparing fresh coffee. Our goal is to enable your production to run as smoothly and merrily as possible.
back
booking process
All first-time renters MUST book with our online booking system so we can save your information on file, as well as provide consent that you've read our policies. Once set up, our booking system is very convenient and easy to use, but you are also welcome to set up appointments over the phone.
back
SOUNDPROOFING + NOISE LEVELS
Please be aware that Studio Apparatus is not a soundstage. The building does have concrete floors and is well-insulated from outdoor noise, and activity on our floor is infrequent. Generally, noise is not an issue, but because the studio itself is not soundproof, some disturbance may be possible and outside of our control. Therefore, we cannot guarantee perfect silence in the space at all times.
back
MESSY SHOOTS & CLEAN-UP
To keep our studio clean for every guest, the studio must be put back into the same condition it was before your rental session; anything that is not adequately cleaned up is subject to a cleaning fee at the end of the shoot.
Rentals involving substances that are difficult to clean or remove, such as paint and glitter, are strictly prohibited.
Otherwise as long as it is well-contained and properly cleaned, getting a little bit messy is usually not an issue. We do ask that you notify us ahead of time if you are planning a messy shoot!
back
pet policy
We love pets! All critters are welcome here, as long as they are relatively well-behaved and supervised. They must be leashed or in a carrying kennel when not inside the studios walls.
