Rented this space for a quick family shoot on a Sunday afternoon, and it worked out great. Even within the 30 minutes I had for this mother-daughter session, there were plenty of background and set options to choose from. I’ll definitely be using Commonspace again—especially on days when it’s too hot to shoot outdoors.
