"The rental was spacious and a beautiful white canvas to build our branding and include props for our photoshoot. I would recommend and book again in the future!"
-Digital Cravings studio
The light is gorgeous, no matter the weather. Rain all day and my ISO never went higher than 2000. The neutral design choices are a dream for editing. With plenty of space to spread out and several corners for different backdrop option
-Abby Grace Photography
I've rented Emily's studio for maternity/family sessions. She has everything a photographer might need. Because of the beautiful consistent light, processing images after the shoot is also quick and easy.
-Heidi Daniels (The DC Birth Photographer)
High ceilings, wide open space, so many different angles to shoot from, and perfect light for days. It’s the perfect blend of blank space studio and the warm welcoming environment of a highly curated, intentionally designed space
