Studio Rules

Our photography studio comes with a few rules to keep it running smoothly and insuring that we all keep an amazing space for the next creators. 

All sessions will require your own photographer. We allow one photographer per session. If you plan on having more please add them as an additional add on when booking. The add on offers up to 3 additional photographers, please add it to cart upon checking out. Additional photographers will need to be paid before your scheduled time. If someone shows up as an extra photographer and we see it on the surveillance camera you will be invoiced and banned from use again.

When booking your session please note that your time INCLUDES set up and take down. If you are running behind please text or call us and we will add the time to your session when available. If time is unavailable because someone is booked after you there is nothing we can do. We are very booked because we offer the most competitive hourly rate in the area. Please be on time. If you go over your time you will receive an invoice for the additional time used. ($2/min)

Please make sure to clean up on your way out. This includes any trash, hangers, clothing tags, etc. DO NOT leave dirty diapers in the studio or bathroom trashes. There is a dumpster outside (on Court Street, located to the left of the studio if you are facing it) that it can be put in. If debris is left please grab the vacuum and clean it up. If the studio is left dirty there will be a $50 fee invoiced to you. 

If any of the linens or blankets get dirty please notify us so we can clean them immediately. If something is damaged upon your arrival please notify us immediately. We would hate for you to be blamed and have to pay for something someone else has done. If the studio is a mess beyond normal use, including glitter or other photo props. Please notify us. We will check the cameras and the person(s) who left it that way will be charged an additional $50 cleaning fee.

Glitter, confetti, tinsel and fake snow are welcomed but we do charge $25 as an add on (email us and we will invoice you for it) for you to have it in the studio. We recognize that you can't get it all. No one ever does so we need to have ample time to come and deep clean for future sessions. You will be required to clean up as much as you can before you leave and if you don't we will send an invoice for the normal $50 cleaning fee. 

Nails and tape are prohibited to be used.

Command strips and tape are ok as long as no damage is done to the walls or paint (please test a small area first). Please make sure it is removed and all residue is wiped away. If there is any damage to the walls, floors, furniture, plants or any other item provided by the studio the booking party will be responsible for the cost of the repairs or replacement. ($25 for touch up)

We do not allow candles or flames in the studio. Battery powered ones are ok.

If you have a cancellation we will reschedule with a 48 hour notice for 2 hours or less. If you have booked anything more than 2 hours a 72 hour notice will be required. Refunds are not available. You will receive a digital gift card to the studio for your deposit to be used another time. You pay a 50% deposit at booking and then the rest 24 hours in advance. 

48 hours in advance you will receive instructions from us via text or email on how to enter the building and basic guidelines. We do not provide the door code until the remaining amount of your deposit is paid. You are not allowed to enter without full payment. 

You are welcome to use anything in the studio and rearrange as needed. Please pick the furniture up and do not drag it across the floor.

When leaving please make sure that the key is put back in the key box. The door to the outside must be locked. If you lose the key you will be charged a $75 fee to replace. 

Do not unclip any of the curtains when using.

When booking you must use the space for the intended use. 

DawnTayler Studio will not be held liable for any personal injury. You are solely responsible for the members of your group and their safety and well being. 

We do welcome pets in the studio BUT it is your sole responsibility to clean up after them. All hair must be removed at the end of your session and floors must be cleaned. If your pet sheds or is not hypoallergenic they are not allowed on the furniture. If there are any "accidents" left behind you will be charged $200.

For events we will require a $200 deposit for a cleaning fee that is fully refundable if the space is cleaned and tidy.
