As a branding photographer it's important for me to know a good variety of locations for my clients and local photography studios are often a no-brainer investment when it comes to making the most out of your brand photoshoot.


Choosing the right location is key to brand photography because it creates the right mood and context for us to be able to tell your story.


Choosing a space that offers everything we need to match your brand’s vibe, it's aesthetic and that will appeal to your target audience can be one of the major factors to completely elevate your brand!


*Side note - this is something, when working with me, we'll of course chat about together!

IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING A CALGARY STUDIO RENTAL HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.


Don't have a physical space where you serve your clients or it's aesthetic is less than ideal for a photoshoot? A rental studio can be a great option because they are specifically curated for photography. This really supports with the quality of the images and the ability to create the scenes we need to get all the shots on your list!


  1. Most studios require a 2hr minimum rental. Some only have bookings available for half or full days.

  2. Studios these days book up fast so location will always be the first thing on your list to tackle!

  3. Although I am 100% here to support you in your decision, booking your location will be up to you as the client.

  4. Location fees for a brand photoshoot is an investment but it is definitely worth strongly considering. They can cost anywhere between $50 - $100+ per hour.

  5. You can expense the cost of the rental for tax purposes so be sure to keep your receipts!(Want to know more about what you can expense for your shoot? Read about it here.)
