FAQ

 

Do I have time to set up and pack away props before and after my session?

For sure! I offer 20 minutes on each end. I will be there to let you in and let you out (if you book in for a private session)

I heard there are cats in your studio. Can I request for them not to be present during my session?

No problem! The cats come with the studio, but they'll be tucked away in their cat villa during your session. The older cats might be upstairs or lounging around quietly.

I'm allergic to cats. Can I make a request regarding that?

I'm sorry, but if you're allergic to cats, my studio may not be suitable for your needs.

Can I schedule a booking for the studio at night?

For night shoots, please contact me directly. There will be an additional fee for nighttime bookings.

Can I run mini sessions in your studio?

It depends. If I am already running mini sessions in the studio or nearby, then unfortunately, it won't be possible. However, if there are no conflicting sessions, then yes, you can certainly book the studio for mini sessions.

What is the best time for lighting in the studio?

It depends on each season, but I can provide exact times if you provide me with the dates you have in mind.

Can anyone hire your Studio?

Yes of course! The same rules apply whether assisted or private along with the cats. If you'd like to run a workshop or very small yoga class you are welcome to it.

I noticed you have a coffee station in your studio. Is it okay if we use it?

Of course! The kettle will be filled with fresh water, and the canisters will be stocked with coffee, sugar, tea, and more! Please help yourself!
