Menagerie Photography Studio Tour
If you’ve never been to my studio, today’s post will give you an idea of what it looks like, some of our sets and where all the magic happens! I have 1000 square feet of space and use every inch of it! So read on and see where I work and where my clients spend the day when they come in for their sessions.
Being in a rural area, the first thing people see is our sign at the road and my awesome pink door when they pull up to the studio.
Our studio space is private and designed to be comfortable and welcoming.
The main gallery room is where we do everything from personal branding to pinup, fitness, fashion and even some boudoir. This is where I set up the window wall for your amazing silhouettes.
We call this space the Victorian Room. The chandelier, bed with tufted headboard and large mirrors make this a great room to get amazing shots. This is primarily used for boudoir style shots but we have also done portrait photos by the fireplace for the Christmas holidays and our recently added vanity can be used for boudoir or pinup images.
Our Hair and Makeup space is one of my favorite rooms with the black and white theme and the pink ceiling. – Yes I painted the ceiling pink! This is where our hair and makeup artists spend the first two hours of your day getting you ready for your shoot. There is also a changing room for privacy off of this space.
This room is used before you come in for your session day and for your image reveal. This is where we sit and talk during your pre-shoot consultation about why you want your picture taken and what you have envisioned. You have a chance to see photos from other sessions and touch the different types of product you can purchase.
About two weeks after your shoot, you will come back to the studio to see your images on the 55 inch screen and choose the ones you love.
The reception desk is where we get paperwork prepped and where the beverage station is set up and my private office is in the back.
When we opened the new studio space in 2015 I couldn’t believe I would ever feel cramped but the time has come for us to look for more space. We are planning an expansion and the goal is to add another 1000 square feet in 2018. The new space will include large windows for natural light photography as well as an area specifically designed as a pinup garage space with a vintage truck.
