Bentley + Lace Creative Studio is designed to give photographers and creators the flexibility to bring their own vision to life while providing the tools and space needed to create elevated portraits.
To help every guest have the best experience, we ask that all rentals follow these studio guidelines:
Arrival + Rental Time
Please arrive prepared to use your reserved studio time efficiently. Your rental time includes setup, shooting, and cleanup, so we recommend arriving with your creative plan, wardrobe, and props organized before arrival.
Additional time may be needed for larger productions, multiple setups, or extensive styling.
Creative Setup
Our studio is a flexible creative canvas. You are welcome to bring:
✓ Your own props and styling pieces
✓ Client wardrobe
✓ Additional backdrops or creative elements
✓ Flooring
Please return the space to its original condition after your session.
Studio Space + Equipment
Your rental includes access to the available studio amenities and equipment listed with your booking.
Please treat all studio equipment, backdrops, and furnishings with care. If you are unfamiliar with lighting equipment, we are happy to provide basic guidance before your session.
Clients + Assistants
Photographers are welcome to bring their clients, assistants, and creative team members.
Please let us know in advance if you are planning a larger group, team session, or production so we can help ensure the space is prepared.
Props + Materials
We welcome creative ideas; however, please avoid anything that may damage the studio, backdrops, or equipment.
Please contact us before bringing:
Approval may be required for specialty setups.
Pets
NO PETS.
Clean + Respectful Use
We want every photographer to walk into an inspiring, ready-to-create space.
Please:
✓ Leave the studio clean and organized
✓ Return props and equipment to their original locations
✓ Remove all personal items after your rental
✓ Respect studio resources
Cancellation, Rescheduling & Refund Policy
Studio rentals and Studio + Gown Bundle reservations are secured specifically for your selected date and time. Once booked, the studio is removed from availability, and any included gowns may also be reserved and unavailable to other customers.
Cancellations or rescheduling requests must be submitted at least 14 days before your scheduled reservation.
Reservations may be rescheduled one time, subject to studio and gown availability. Requests made within 14 days of the reservation must be submitted directly to Bentley + Lace for review. When approved, the amount paid may be transferred as a booking credit toward a new available date.
Studio + Gown Bundle reservations are nonrefundable or date changed once the gowns have been selected or reserved. Because the gowns and studio date are held specifically for your booking, refunds will not be issued after those reservations have been secured.
Bentley + Lace is not responsible for a photographer’s ability to fill their reserved studio time with clients, including mini sessions, content days, or other scheduled events. Refunds will not be issued because of low enrollment, client cancellations, or unfilled appointment times.
Failure to attend, late arrival, or unused rental time does not qualify for a refund or additional studio time. Booking credits, when approved, are nonrefundable and must be used within the timeframe provided by Bentley + Lace.
