They will visit the studio at the end of your booking to ensure that the room is left in its original condition.  Please ensure you leave the room clean and with the furniture and props back in their original place for the next customer.

Our administrative staff can check the room during your studio time. They will knock on the door before entering and give you a warning before coming in.

If you have a large party, please factor in the time to bring/take out your belongings from the studio space. You will be asked to wrap up your shoot 10 minutes early so that you can start clearing out the space. Alternatively, you can dedicate a person from your party to start removing items while you are finishing the photo session.
