"Starfall Studios is an incredible space, and a lot of that comes down to Jason. He's responsive, accommodating, and goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need for a great shoot. The studio itself is beautifully designed — high ceilings, warm wood floors, and excellent lighting that makes every session feel effortless. The space is clean, well-maintained, and has a professional yet welcoming energy. Jason has built something really special here."

"I did my first photography project at Starfall Studios and I had a fantastic experience. The space is very inviting and large enough for a decent number of the photography projects I'd like to take on. There was a good wall to shoot against and plenty of lighting equipment available. I'll definitely be back!"

My End of the Deal.

You'll leave with shots you're proud of.
Or tell me what went wrong, and I'll make it right.

I live at the studio. I'm there every session, not texting from across town. If something doesn't go the way it should — gear that isn't working right, a lighting setup that wasn't what you expected, anything on my end — tell me and we'll sort it out. Email jason@starfallstudiosseattle.com and I'll respond personally. No forms, no back-and-forth.

How It Works

Four Steps. Zero Friction.

1

Book Online

Pick your date and time on Square. Available 10am–10pm, 7 days a week. Card held at booking, charged after the session. 2-hour minimum.

2

Show Up

Park directly out front. Walk in. Everything is already set up — lights, backdrops, audio. I'll be there to meet you and get you started.

3

Shoot

Use the space your way. Rearrange furniture, swap backdrops, try different lighting setups. I'm on-site the whole time — just ask if you need anything.

4

Walk Away

Leave everything where it is. No teardown. No packing up gear. You walk out with your shots and nothing else to do. That's the point.

Real Questions

Everything Stopping You
From Booking Right Now.

"I've never rented a studio before — is this going to be complicated?"

No. You book online, show up, and the space is ready. I'm on-site to walk you through anything — what's where, how the lights work, how to dial in your setup. You don't need prior studio experience. First-timers use this space all the time.

"Is $80/hr really worth it compared to shooting somewhere for free?"

Depends what "free" is costing you. If you're using a bedroom with lamps and foam boards, you're spending an hour on setup, another tearing it down, and hoping the light cooperates. Here you walk in to a fully loaded space and spend that time actually shooting. And the gear alone — the lights, stands, backdrops — would run you $1,500+ to buy. You're renting the whole package for $80/hr.

"What if my session runs over?"

If the time slot after yours is open, we can extend on the spot — just $80 per additional hour, same as your rate. I'll let you know where things stand so there are no surprises. If the next slot is booked, I'll give you a heads-up with enough time to wrap without feeling rushed.

"Can I bring my own gear?"

Absolutely. Bring whatever you want — your own camera, lenses, flashes, modifiers, anything. The studio gear is included and available, but you're not required to use it. The space is yours for the duration of your booking.

"Is there parking?"

Free street parking directly in front of the studio. Street-level entry means easy load-in — no elevator, no stairs with gear. The address is 4435 35th Ave SW, Suite 106, Seattle, WA 98126.

"What's your cancellation policy?"

More than 72 hours before your session: full refund. 24 to 72 hours before: studio credit for future use. Less than 24 hours: non-refundable. Book with confidence — 72 hours is a wide window to change your plans and still get your money back.
