Frequently Asked Questions

  • We strongly recommend our 2-hour studio hire.

    This option is discounted and intentionally designed to allow:

    • Time to arrive, breathe, and set up properly

    • Lighting and set testing before your client arrives

    • Shooting content for yourself (BTS, setup, studio content)

    • A smoother more professional client experience

    One-hour studio bookings often feel rushed, especially when using multiple sets. This is why many professional studios only offer two-hour hires as a minimum - it’s not about charging more, it’s about ensuring quality work.

    You’re always free to choose what works best for your business, but we stand firm by this recommendation based on experience.
