STUDIO LOCATION & Parking
-
No code or keypad necessary! There will be a studio attendant present prior to your session, so all of the doors into the studio will be unlocked for you.
If the studio door at the top of the stairs is locked, there may be a boudoir session occurring in the studio (we lock the front door for added privacy!) Please knock or give us a call at (912) 661-9257
-
Each booking includes an additional 15 minute set-up time prior to your session. You and your clients are welcome to arrive at the studio at that time.
For example: If you booked a session at 11 AM, you may start loading in at 10:45 AM.
-
Our studio door is located on W. Charlton Street. Look for the sandwich board sign in front of the gray glass-front door, located around the corner from the Ocean Discovery Center.
Please reference the map at the bottom of this page for further directions.
-
We recommend arriving to your session early to ensure you find parking.
There is a free parking lot located across the street from the studio door on W. Charlton Street. Please be sure to park in the “West Broad Parking” side and not the SCAD side.
If the lot is full, there is plenty of street parking nearby as well as the Liberty St Parking Garage about a block north of us.
Please see the parking guide map below for further instructions.
STUDIO RULES
-
Yes please and thank you! We love meeting your furry friends and family members :)
We ask that you make a note with your booking or let us know ahead of time.
-
If space allows, yes! Check in with the studio attendant during your session to see if there is availability for a session extension. We’ll walk you through booking additional time.
-
You’re more than welcome to bring in whatever additional decor or styling pieces you’d like.
We do already have a wide array of props and furniture that you can mix, match, and move around. If you haven’t toured the space, we recommend stopping in to get a lay of the land and see if we already have styling pieces that you need.
-
We ask that you please be mindful of our studio attendants and return the studio to a clean and workable space.
The space doesn’t need to be styled in the same way you found it, but please do your best to remove any trash, personal affects, and turn off/unplug any used lighting equipment.
-
We are not offering refunds at this time. Please reach out to us at (912) 661-9257 if you have any questions or concerns with your studio booking.
MISCELLANEOUS
-
You can either set up the lights and leave them on, or you can connect them to your camera with a flash trigger.
Ask the studio attendant for assistance and we can guide you through how to use the trigger, lights, and additional lighting accessories.
-
Unfortunately due to the historic nature of our building, our studio is not equipped with an elevator. Please ensure that all people attending your session or booking are able to climb 2 flights of stairs.
We understand that loading in and out can be a bit exhausting with so many steps, so please let the studio attendant know of your arrival and departure. We’re more than happy to help you load in and load out.
-
Yes! You are welcome to visit the studio the day prior to your Getting Ready session to drop off any dresses, accessories, makeup, etc. We’re happy to hold your items overnight for day-of convenience.
-
We do! Especially around the time of a studio set change. If you’re interested in a piece, please text or call us at (912) 661-9257.
