Expecting things to really kick back into gear this week, after the holiday "lull!"

Please contact the studio 5-7 business days in advance for first-time bookings, and returning clients, as always, can book with 48 hours' notice...

But requesting more in advance gives you the better chance of availability for your preferred shooting room, date and time slot!

This is always a great place to shoot!

I was just at DM Gremlin yesterday to do some recording.  I've been going there since it opened about ten years ago.  I have to say, she's done some great things to it since I was there last.

Front office and lobby remodeling project nearly complete!  More comfortable lobby area, and the cleaner, better organized office/storage areas mean less dust and clutter through the entire building!
