Available as an extra add-on:

-Paper Backdrops ($25 add-on to use the paper rolls while you are in the studio) The paper rolls are not available for free use, as they have limited uses and need to be replaced when they are used up. The available colors are based on what we have in stock. However, photographers who book at minimum a 3 hour slot at least 1 month in advance MAY request a specific color to be in stock AT THE TIME OF their BOOKING, so we can either set it aside or order it in time for you.

BRINGING YOUR OWN PROPS

You are welcome to bring your own props inside, we simply ask that anything you bring in doesn't damage the studio. We also ask that nothing be brought in that makes too much noise for the sake of our neighboring studio units*. We have had a client bring in a two-piece couch, but they were very quiet and respectful of noise* while they brough it up to the studio, through the halls and set it up.

To know before booking:

This is a clean-up-after-yourself studio. You will take out all your trash, put things away, sweep up after yourself, and leave the studio in the condition it was in when you arrived.
NOISE: Out of respect for a couple of the studios next to ours (that are massage therapists) we ask you to not play loud music, and to keep yours and your client's voices to inside levels. When you are setting up and taking down, please be mindful of noise. If a neighboring studio is in session, you will see signs asking you to be quiet, as their clients may be in therapy and we want to respect our fellow humans. These noise restrictions do not apply on weekends.
You may use the bathroom and the kitchen sink area, but please do not put your studio trash in the bathroom trash can, take your trash with you when you go.
If the portion of the paper backdrop roll that you used is very dirty, please cut it off up until the cleanest spot. We don't want to waste paper, but we also don't want the next person to unroll a sheet of paper with dirt, crumbs, hair, and lots of foot marks. Please do not remove the section if there will not be enough left after that to unroll for one more use --if that's the case, please just leave the dirty section on.
If you use the last of something (confetti, a paper roll, etc), PLEASE let me know so I can replace it. You will not be charged for that, it's just giving me a heads up /FYI so that I can order more :)
