Rates & Memberships

When I was starting out as a new photographer, my biggest goal was to build a business with steady, consistent bookings and honestly, it was so much harder to do without a studio of my own. That experience is exactly why I created this space: to offer other creatives a beautiful, reliable studio they can count on as they grow, without the expensive overhead cost of owning a studio.


Monthly memberships are designed for creatives who want a true “home base.” You choose a set number of hours each month based on what you need, with the flexibility to start small and scale up as your bookings increase. I also offer the option to roll over unused hours, so you don’t feel pressured if life gets busy. Memberships come with meaningful savings compared to hourly rentals, plus added flexibility — including the ability to book shorter sessions with no 2-hour minimum, which is perfect for quick client shoots, content batching, or test sessions throughout the month.

Hourly Rates

Booking length pricing table showing rates from 2-8 hours, with savings up to $110 vs hourly rate.

Monthly memberships

Pricing table comparing Starter, Standard, Pro, and Elite plans ranging from $249 to $350 per month with varying included hours.

Notes:  

Refundable damage deposit is required for all bookings. 

Does not include any lights, stands, gear or equipment. Available for additional rental fees.

Monthly memberships are subject to a minimum 3-month term.


Benefits of Monthly Memberships

 

  • Lower effective hourly rate vs. one-off bookings
  • No 2-hour minimum (book 1 hour when that’s all you need)
  • Consistency: same light, same setup, same clean aesthetic every time
  • Easier scheduling: perfect for recurring client work and quick reshoots
  • A true home base: you can build a repeatable workflow + client experience
  • Better planning: predictable monthly cost (great for budgeting)
  • More momentum: encourages you to shoot/create more often (and market more)

Who should choose memberships?

 

  • Newborn photographer starting out: you get a clean, consistent space to build a recognizable portfolio, create repeatable setups, and confidently bring clients into a studio environment (plus props/accessories if you offer them).
  • Branding photographer: frequent 1-hour sessions for headshots, product add-ons, and quick content refreshes. Memberships make these short bookings affordable and easy.
  • E-commerce / product photographers: consistent lighting + backdrop continuity for product drops, flat lays, and modeled lifestyle imagery.
  • Videographers filming talking-head content: quick 60–90 minute filming sessions on a clean cyc wall with natural light—membership removes the pressure of a 2-hour minimum.
  • Workshops / educators (posing, editing, business coaching): predictable access for monthly classes, mini intensives, or styled shoot nights.
  • Photographers who run minis: book shorter prep sessions (set building, test shots) and then a longer block for the actual minis—membership helps with both.
