We have NE facing windows.

From Sept-March, there is almost no direct morning light when we are open for rentals. Due to the seasonal sun being shorter and streaming on the opposite side of the building, the studio remains soft and diffused throughout the whole day.

When there is direct light in different seasons, it falls on the right wall of the studio only. The rest of the studio remains soft.

If you want to utilize the most natural light for the holiday sets, you should plan to shoot clients around 9am or 10am until about 3pm. We have a constant light on a rolling stand that you can add-on if you want a little boost for cloudy days our outside that brighter window.

SUNRISE / SUNSET:

• Mid-October: Sunrise is at 7:30am / Sunset is at 6:45pm

• Mid-November: Sunrise is at 7:00am / Sunset is at 5:30pm

• Mid-December: Sunrise is at 7:20am / Sunset is at 5:30pm

Our Studio Light:

October has direct morning light only until about 9:30am on sunny days. Brightest studio light around 9:30-3pm.

November has early direct morning sun that is cleared before 8am. The studio remains soft and diffused all day. Brightest light in the studio will be 9:30am-2pm.

December has no direct morning sun. Brightest light around 10:00am-2:00pm.

Our holiday sets will be put in place and are not to be moved, except for sliding out the loveseat or moving the red chair from the fireplace corner if you’d like to stand instead.

You’re welcome to swap out a few smaller furniture pieces or props to customize a bit more for your clients. However, you’ll need to return all props and furniture to their original position when you’re done.

Please kindly consider the next guests who are walking in expecting things to be setup and ready to go.

If you’re looking to hang things, only use command strips that will easily peel off without leaving holes or peeling the fresh paint.
