Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book time at the studio?
That’s easy! All you have to do is click Book Now in the site navigation above to be taken to our calendar. There, you can see available times and book as many hours as needed for your session.
What happens if I go longer than my reservation?
Reservation times start and end at your scheduled times. Every member of your group must vacate the premises by the end of your allotted time. Please book enough hours to cover things like hair & makeup, your photoshoot, whatever else you may need, and cleanup. If you exceed your reserved time and fail to contact us to purchase additional time, you will be charged for the additional time per hour. If someone else is waiting to enter and begin their rental, you must vacate immediately.
Where is the studio located?
SMP Creative Studio is located at the following address:
1052 W State Road 436 #2062, Altamonte Springs, FL, United States, 32714
Our space is located in the building to the right of Froggers in Boardwalk Plaza. We’re on the second story of the building, in Suite 2062. We’re only a few minutes away from I-4, and conveniently located in Altamonte Springs here in Central Florida.
Can we move furniture around during our rental?
Yes, you are welcome to move furniture pieces to establish your shots and meet your needs. All we ask is that you treat our furniture pieces with care and respect, and return them to their original locations when finished.
What kind of insurance is required for rentals?
All renters must provide proof of Liability Insurance. If you do not have up-to-date Liability Insurance that shows your business name on it, you will not be able to rent time at SMP Creative Studio. This is for your protection, as well as ours. If you don’t have insurance and still want to rent, you can obtain daily coverage (from providers like EventHelper or Thimble) for the day of your shoot from many providers. You will have to obtain that coverage prior to booking your timeslot, as proof of insurance must be uploaded at the time of reservation.
Is the space only for photographers? What about events or workshops?
This space is available for any creative professionals who need a space for their projects. If you want to host an event or workshop in the studio, you’re welcome to book the time that you need and do so. Our studio is 1,369 square feet, which is plenty of space to host a small workshop, bridal shower, and more.
What is your current pricing?
In general, we have separate pricing for weekdays (Monday - Thursday) and weekends (Friday - Sunday). For up to date pricing, we recommend visiting our calendar here and picking a day/time for your rental. This will show you the current pricing we have.
I need to cancel/reschedule my rental, what do I do?
We do not offer refunds on cancellations. You can reschedule your rental, if needed, as long as the new date is 30 days or less from your original booking date. To reschedule, you must email hello@smpcreativestudio.com with information about your rescheduling needs. The fee for rescheduling your rental is $50, and once the invoice is paid we will manually reschedule your session for you. If it is 24 hours or less until your scheduled rental, you will not be able to reschedule and will instead have to book a new reservation.
Are pets allowed in the studio?
Yes, pets are allowed in studio. Please be mindful of other guests; clean up after your pet to avoid a cleaning fee. (fur, paw prints, etc.)
