FAQs
What time of day is best to shoot?
The studio gets amazing natural light throughout the day. The windows face the east and there are windows that face south. You can diffuse light with long sheer curtains that are provided over the windows if needed or course take them down to allow more light to enter.
Weather plays a huge role in the lighting and we cannot predict what your day will hold. Overall, the natural light in the studio is amazing morning and afternoon and early evening before sundown.
Are there stairs or an elevator?
Both. There is an elevator that will take you to the 2nd floor as well as the stairs to the right of the elevator. We have taken a 3 seater couch up both with ease.
Is there easy access to the studio?
Street Door: This door locks behind you. Do not prop often for clients. You are responsible for letting your clients into the door. Parking is metered street parking
Landmarks: Look for the “Bistro to Go Cafe” My door sits to the right of this building. The studio door is on an angle. The glass door reads ” THE HOLLANDER BUILDING” in the center in white (there is also a Dentist & Consumer health coalition sign) The studio sits on the 2nd floor.
Walk straight down the hall and when you reach the corner the elevator is on your right. Take it to the 2nd floor. Take a right out of the elevator and the studio is the last door on your left (the restroom is outside of my door).
How do I get into the studio?
We will arrange a key pick-up so you have access to the building and a separate key for the studio. The main door and studio door are locked 24/7. The Key is PICK UP ONLY (you are responsible for picking up (no more than 30 minutes before) and dropping off immediately after your session).
Pick up Locations are Oakdale Twp, or Mt. Lebanon
What dates are available?
At this time, we are not accepting new renters or bookings for 2022. Sign up to be informed when are 2023 calendar is available.
