The Studio
The Studio space is spacious ~2,100 sq. ft., on a first-floor in San Mateo, CA, just off Peninsula Ave. It’s the ideal location to bring your holiday visions to life in the heart of the Bay Area.
Our studio features semi-sheer window coverings, allowing soft, natural light to flood the holiday scene at the front part of the space. For the additional themed areas, continuous lighting is set up, but feel free to adjust it to suit your needs.
Get ready to immerse yourself in five stunning, holiday-inspired backdrops—each designed to bring out the magic of the season and make your photos unforgettable.
