frequently asked questions
This membership is more than just access to a studio; it’s a chance to grow in ways that go far beyond a one-time session. From networking opportunities and visibility boosts to thoughtful feedback from other members, you’ll find value in every part of this membership. Investing in yourself isn’t always easy, but this is a space created to give back more than it takes—an investment in a community that’s here for you every step of the way, through every season of your journey.
The life of a photographer is a constant balancing act—sessions, editing, managing client relationships. It’s easy to get lost in the daily demands. But this membership isn’t here to add more to your plate; it’s here to help you work with intention and reclaim time for what matters most. With co-working days, focused content creation sessions, and skill-building labs, you’ll find yourself making space for growth in ways that fit naturally into your life. It’s not about doing more; it’s about doing what truly moves your business forward.
Think of this studio not as just a place to take photos, but as a tool to elevate your business. This space is here to enhance your client experience with an inspiring, professional environment that reflects the quality of your artistry. It’s a place that brings your ideas to life and sets you apart, letting you create and connect with your clients in ways you just can’t replicate anywhere else. It’s more than a location—it’s a chance to bring your vision to life with intention and authenticity.
Here at Studio at 428, we’re all about working smarter instead of harder, which means working from a proactive mindset versus a reactive one. Yes, your hours could be used on client work. They could also be used for seasonal sessions you don’t normally offer, client appreciation events, a hosted workshop to bring in warm leads, portfolio building, getting new branding photos for yourself, album design sessions…the possibilities are endless. And we’re here to help you figure out how to make your hours work best for you and your business goals.
No! Your hours are yours to use on day 1 of your membership. As photographers, our business needs shift with the seasons, so we wanted you to have the flexibility to choose when and how to use your hours over the course of an entire year. You choose whether to book 1-hour shoots, or ½ day marathon mini sessions or even reserve the studio for an entire day for a hosted event/workshop!
Hours must be used within 12 months of your membership start date. They do not roll over.
We get it. Life is BUSY. And running your own business means making a series of choices of where to invest your limited time and energy. We strongly believe that making time to work ON your business is equally as important as working IN your business. Our Studio calendar of events will be posted quarterly so you can plan accordingly to make the absolute most out of your membership.
What if you stepped into a space that’s built not just for photographers, but for people who dream, who create, and who grow together?
We’d love to have you here, not just as a member, but as a part of something we’re building together. Let’s create, connect, and see what we can become, together.
