COVID -19

We at the studio have learned a lot over the past year and a half. And pandemic or not – we are here to work and help make the studio work for you.

You will be required to disclose if anyone coming to the studio has had a fever or any other symptoms such as coughs, sickness or vomiting or has been in contact with anyone displaying Covid-19 symptoms, suspected of having Covid-19 or has had a Covid-19 positive test result within 10 days prior to the rental. If the shoot needs to be cancelled or postponed for COVID-related reasons, only expenses incurred will be billed, and we will do our best to find another day that works for you and your client.

The free-standing studio is a newly constructed building, completed in December of 2019. We bought the vacant lot in 2018, and by January 2020 we were open for business. We quickly pivoted to remote shoots. Our process is seamless, and clients seem to like it. And most importantly, it is as safe as it can be given we are still in the throes of a pandemic. 

Studio owner and assistants are all vaccinated, helping to put any anxiety our clients and models feel to rest. If anyone attending your production is unvaccinated, we expect them to be wearing masks at all times during the rental and have tested negative within 24 hours prior to the scheduled rental.

The studio is very well ventilated – with all new HVAC systems.

The free-standing building has no shared “airspace” with other tenants. 

Each floor has its own HVAC system to promote a cleaner and more contained environment.

Additionally, each space has high-end BlueAir filtration systems purchased and installed in mid-2020.

There is ample space to maintain safe distancing with a minimal crew. 

Available outdoor seating and a large garage door directly in the studio create an open-air environment. Three large sets of sliding glass doors open to an outdoor space in 2nd floor studio.

The building exterior & deck offer extended outdoor “location” options.

All outdoor areas have tables and chairs for meals and crafty options. And there is plenty of room for additional folding tables and chairs if you need them for clients and crew. We have some for rent if needed – just ask us.

Tethered capture mirrored to the 65” wall-mounted tv monitor allows for distanced review of images if your clients decide to be on set with you in the main 1st floor studio. We also have additional monitors if you prefer to set up for client viewing at a distance away from set. In the 2nd studio there is a 55” wall mounted tv monitor where you can also “push” your tethered capture to screen for safely distanced viewing.

Studio wifi is always available at no additional cost and helps enables remote shoots.

If you have not yet experienced this, we can help facilitate the process for you. Available to rent are tools to help make your remote shoot go smoothly.

We have a switcher to allow for your bts camera to show clients props, wardrobe, set, etc… and live stream it for a seamless production when your client cannot be on set with you. You can also rent the studio for remote castings. 

The studio can provide, for an additional fee, a tech to run the live streaming system for you so you can concentrate on your photography. Just ask us, we are here to help.

Each door to the studio has a touchless hand sanitizing station. They’re actually kind of pretty.

Soap dispensers at all studio sinks (bathroom and kitchens) are also equipped with touchless soap and sanitizer dispensers.

Surfaces and high touch areas including light switches and doorknobs are always cleaned and disinfected before and after each rental. We can provide a COVID compliance officer, for an additional fee, to be on set to monitor, clean, and protect the set throughout your rental.

If you need to purchase from us, we always have extra masks and gloves on site.

Anything you need and don’t see... just ask. We’re here to keep your shoot safe so you can be successful and your clients can feel well taken care of.

We are continually updating this section as the CDC reveals information to get you the most up to date facts, ensuring that your production goes safely and smoothly.
