The 7 available backgrounds are: jet black wall & black floorsheets, a white wall & white chiffon sheets over large cushion pad/blue-grey canvas, green-brown canvas, large purple-blue-black muslin, white cargo net & black wall, and a peek-thru wall drape with hanging jewelry.
These studios have been prepped and configured for the 'pampered princess glamour model' in every model. Both studios have mirrors (for makeup & wardrobe check), are heated, air-conditioned, comes with available makeup touchup kits, curling irons, hair-blowing fans in each room and have I-Pod music dock stereos ready for your I-Pod. Free refreshment waters in both studios with available restroom nearby.
Currently have over $3000 of glamour wardrobe assessories (availabe with all rentals) in 15 pull-out drawers, and each model leaves her studio shooting session with a pair of 'Body Basics' plain black booty shorts. Each studio rental comes with 1/2 hour of complimentary photographer 'preparation & orientation' to guarantee quality results from all lighting configurations. Special 2011 rental rates (includes use of both studio roomes) are $60 for 3 hours and $80 for 5 hours. Weekday afternoon and evenings are usually open and available, with weekend access somewhat limited. Contact me ASAP and I'll check the calendar for availablity. Hope to seeya soon at the all new and tricked out SM double room studios...
