Couldn't be happier with my experience here. I was looking for a place to shoot some indoor photo's last minute as I do not have a studio of my own. I reached out to Darnell and he was able to rent out his studio same day! This place had everything I needed from the backdrops to the lightning. He walked me through everything and helped me set up. If you're a photographer looking to shoot indoor, this place is it!

I would recommend using Houdini Photography for photos. Did a wonderful job at headshots for my wife, was very professional and did not rush which made a great end product. Will be using them in the future.

For my 30th Birthday, Darnell (Sorry if I misspelled your name!) brought my vision to life! Aside from his studio being welcoming and a very professional environment, he was also very welcoming and helped me to figure out different poses and different ideas! His turn around times along with having to edit photos is unmatched!
Price assessment: Great price
