🎬 About the Space

What kind of space is Starfall Studios?
Starfall Studios is a modular creative studio in West Seattle built for photographers, videographers, podcasters, and content creators. The space is over 1,100 square feet with 14-foot ceilings, a full kitchen, and a private bathroom — plenty of room for full production setups including lighting rigs, backdrops, and multiple subjects. It's designed to be flexible and reconfigurable to fit a wide range of projects.
What's included in a studio rental?
Every rental includes the full studio space, professional lighting, onsite assistance, all available set pieces, and complimentary WiFi. Lighting includes 3× 300W Neewer RGB continuous lights, umbrella and lantern diffusers, a snoot/gobo set, RGB accent lights, 3× C-stands, a Neewer wall-mounted boom arm — mounted at 9 ft, arm extends up to 70.8 in (180cm), and a projector. Backdrops include a 20' modular textured system in black and white, plus seamless rolls in ultramarine, grey, white, black, sky blue, pink, and canary yellow. Bluetooth audio and a client review monitor are also on site. You're welcome to bring and use your own gear.
Can I bring clients or models?
Absolutely. The studio is set up to host client shoots, model sessions, and production crews. There's a designated wardrobe and changing area, a full kitchen, and a private bathroom on site.

After Your Session

Do you offer editing or post-production services?
No. The studio rental is space and gear only — post-production is handled by you or your team. If you booked Jason directly as your photographer or videographer, editing is included in that scope; see the Services page for details.
Can I use the photos and videos commercially?
Yes. All content created during your rental is yours to use commercially. We don't claim any rights to work produced in the studio.

📸 Photography & Video Services

What types of photography and video do you offer?
We offer professional headshots, team and business photography, event and conference coverage, brand and content creation, and concert and live performance photography. On the video side, we cover brand promos, social reels, podcast recording, and event video. All video projects are custom-scoped. Visit the Services page for full details, or reach out if you don't see what you need.
How long does it take to receive my photos, and how are they delivered?
Standard turnaround is 5 business days from your session date. Final images are delivered via a private online gallery. Video files are delivered via Google Drive or a similar link. Rush delivery may be available — reach out to ask.
What about event photography — how fast do I get those?
Events get next-day social media selects so your team can post while the event is still fresh. The full edited gallery is delivered within 5 business days. All event packages include commercial licensing on every deliverable.
Do you shoot on location?
Yes. Team headshots can be done at your office or here at Starfall Studios — whichever is easier for your team. Event and conference photography is always on location at your venue. Brand content sessions can be shot on location, in-studio, or a mix of both depending on the project.
How do team headshot sessions work?
We set up at your office or host everyone here at the studio. Each person gets 10–15 minutes with consistent lighting and background, so there's minimal disruption to the workday. You coordinate the calendar, we handle the rest. Pricing starts at $150 per person with a 3-person minimum, and larger teams get better per-person rates. Get a team quote →
