Booking Information
All studio services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by appointment only. Absolutely no business is done on a walk-in basis. We do not offer private studio tours. If you are interested in visiting the facilities, please attend one of our monthly Studio Open House Night events. Open House information is here, and please note that for first-time visitors, RSVP is required at least 48 hours in advance of each month's event.
All reservations and appointments must be made and confirmed at least 48 hours in advance. First time reservations must be paid in full in advance (please see Terms & Conditions, below), with payment completed by at least 48 hours in advance of the reservation. We do not offer "same day" or "next day" service.
When requesting a reservation, please do the following: first, check the scheduling calendar to see if the time that you would like is available in either of our shooting rooms. Keep in mind that we always keep at least 30 minutes in between appointments for set-up/tear down. For example, if Studio A is shown as booked from 2pm-6pm on a given day, the room would be available up until 1:30pm, or anytime after 6:30pm on that day.
Reservation requests may be made by email or by telephone (866-334-4364). Reservation requests from first time clients must include all of the following information:
- Your full name
- Current address (no PO boxes) and telephone number
- Date, start time, and end time of the reservation you are requesting
- Which studio (A or B) you are requesting
- How many people, including yourself, in total, will be in and out of the studio for any part or all of your shoot
For clients who have made a reservation here before, please include date, start/end time, which studio, and total number of people with your reservation request. Your billing/contact information will be kept on file, so please keep us current if your address or telephone number changes.
Most reservation requests will be addressed within 24 hours, with the exception of days when we are out of the studio for location work. These events will be noted in the studio calendar as "out of studio" - so if you have not heard a response to your reservation request, feel free to check the calendar and see if this might be the case. Otherwise, if you have not received a response by the day after you have sent an email or left a voicemail, chances are, we did not receive your message. If this occurs, please email or give us a call back.
Once we have received your reservation request, we will either make payment arrangements (for first time clients), or let you know that your reservation has been entered into the scheduling calendar. Confirmed reservations are a legal contract according to the terms and conditions listed below. Payment for a first time reservation, or request for studio time for continuing reservations, indicates agreement with the studio's booking terms.
Terms & Conditions:
General Booking Terms:
- Studio reservations and fees are in increments of one hour.
- All studio reservations must be made at least 48 hours in advance. For reservations requiring advance payment, payment must be completed at least 48 hours in advance of the reservation.
- The renting client (the person making the reservation) must be at least 18 years of age and competent to enter into a legal contract.
- The renting client must be present in the studio for the duration of the rental period. No crew or personnel will be admitted to the studio without the renting client present. Exceptions may be made at the studio's discretion and by arrangement in advance, for agencies or production companies renting the studio for commercial projects.
- The renting client is responsible for any loss or damage to studio equipment or facilities by anyone who enters the studio in conjunction with the rental.
- If the studio has availability continuing after the original reservation, bookings may be extended at the time of the rental.
Payment Terms:
- For all general reservations not requiring advance payment, payment is accepted in cash only, at the time of the rental. No bills larger than $20, and no coins are accepted for payment. Exact change is appreciated, and is required for any reservation ending later than 9:30pm. Receipts are available upon request.
- Non-refundable full payment in advance is required for the initial reservation made by a new client. Non-refundable advance payment may be required for subsequent reservations, at the discretion of the studio, and in cases where a client has had a past-due account.
- Advance payments may be made in cash at the studio by appointment only, or by United States Postal Money Order (MUST be purchased at the Post Office). Mailed payments should be sent using a trackable form of mail, and the studio is not liable for mail lost or delayed by the post office. In-person cash payments are pending availability of a suitable appointment opening. Studio tours/walk throughs will not be available at time of payment, as payment appointments will be available during hours when the studio is in use by other renting clients.
- Additional hours added to the reservation on the day of the rental, and/or additional fees for background paper, ringflash rental, or for moving from small group to large group rate, are payable in cash only, at the time of the rental.
Cancellation Policy:
- First time reservations, or any other reservations where advance payment is requested, are non-refundable and confirmed for the date and time specified.
- For all general reservations not requiring advance payment, the renting client is responsible for payment in full for the time booked, unless notice of cancellation or request to reschedule is made as follows: At least 48 hours in advance for weekday (Monday through Friday) reservations; and at least one week in advance (by the prior Saturday or Sunday) for Saturday or Sunday reservations.
- Studio is not responsible for messages lost due to failure of email or telephone service. Cancellation notice is not valid until confirmed by the studio in response. If a telephone or email is sent regarding studio cancellation, and the client has not received response confirming the cancellation, it indicates that the studio has not received notice of the cancellation and the renting client is still responsible for and liable for the reservation as scheduled.
Entry/Exit and Load In/Load Out:
- Entry/load in time for any reservation is no earlier than 15 minutes before the start time of the reservation. Load out and exit must be completed by 15 minutes after the end time of the reservation. Additional fees will apply at the hourly studio rate if load out extends beyond this period.
- Studio A enters, exits, and loads in/out through the building's back entrance. Studio B enters, exits, and loads in/out through the front door (street entrance). Both studios share the back parking lot. For Studio B, the two-hour street parking directly outside the front door more than accommodates temporary parking for immediate load in access. The renting client is responsible for directing all personnel to the appropriate building entry.
- Map and directions to the studio, along with detailed parking information, can be found here. The renting client is responsible to provide this information and their own contact information to all crew and personnel. Studio staff are occupied with setup and preparation immediately prior to a rental, and will not be available by phone to assist with directions or entry instructions.
