The space
One room, five things worth framing.
900 square feet of natural light in Northcliffe Village.
The arch
A deep plaster arch, the heart of the room. Stand someone inside it and the frame is already done.
Limewash walls
Soft, cloudy limewash with paneled moldings from floor to ceiling. Warm on skin, quiet in the background.
The olive tree
A full, potted olive tree for a little green in the frame, or none at all.
Rattan bassinet
Woven by hand and made up with soft bedding, ready for your newborn sessions.
The furniture
Natural wood, linen and rattan: a daybed, an egg chair, a tufted bench, lounge chairs and vintage high chairs.

The light
Soft, even, forgiving.
Tall windows with sheer white curtains wash the whole room in soft light. Close the sheers for a gentle glow or open them for a little more shape.

Good to know
What's included in the rate?
Everything in the room: the furniture, props, backdrops, change room and vanity. Setup and pack-down happen within your booked time, so plan a few minutes at each end.
How many people can be in the studio?
Up to 16 people, including you and your team.
Can I bring my own lights and props?
Of course. Bring your own lighting, props and anything else you need for your shoot.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Cancel at least 7 days before your booking for a full refund. Between 7 days and 24 hours before, you'll get 50% back. Within 24 hours, bookings aren't refundable. If you need to reschedule, let us know as early as you can.
What happens if I run over?
There's a 10-minute grace period at the end of your booking. Anything past that counts as additional time.
Studio guidelines
Shoes: no outside shoes inside the studio, to keep the light floors and furniture clean. Please bring clean indoor shoes or socks.
Staircase set: please don't move the staircase in the corner, as it can damage the floors.
Wardrobe: the outfits hanging on the racks are reserved for in-house use only.
Do you have dresses for clients?
Yes. We keep a selection of elegant maternity and family dresses so your clients look and feel their best. Add the dress wardrobe to any booking for a flat $99.
How is the studio cleaned?
Every week we deep clean the floors (under the furniture too), the windows, mirrors and glass, and launder the fabric props and backdrops. Frequently used props are sanitized regularly.
Is the studio accessible?
The studio is on the second floor and there's no elevator, so plan for stairs when you bring in gear.
Can I see the space before I book?
Yes. Take the video tour, or send us a note and we'll find a time for you to stop by.
