Suite 6 is located on the North end of the building. A large parking lot spans the 6-bays of the building. Please park in spaces closest to the Studio 8 suite.

The studio 8 Omaha space features a 12 x 14 ft glass garage door. For liability reasons, we do not allow renters to open the garage door. Additionally we do not allow motorcycles to be brought into the studio through the front door.

This is something you will have to determine on your own, but bear in mind that you will need to have time to setup, have your subjects get ready, and to take down, clean up and return any props, furniture and lighting equipment to it’s original location before you leave. Unless the space is rented immediately after your shoot, we will stop by and inspect the space to make sure it is ready for our next renter. It is possible to do simple shoots in an hour. Keep in mind that the next hour slot may be booked. If you need more time, check the schedule and you can add additional time to your booking. An automatic charge for another hour will be assessed if you are on site more than five minutes past the scheduled time. Use of the Clawfoot tub, filled with water or milk, requires a minimum two hour booking. You will need to let us know before you book your two hour “tub session” so we can turn on the water to the tub, it is not normally switched on. Some of our customers book the space for multiple hours and shoot multiple subjects while they have the studio reserved. This is an efficient way to use the space; choose a date, book a few hours and then market a shoot based on that date. It works great!

After you checkout there is an option to have your information kept in the form of a Studio8 account. You will see a box labeled “Register for an Account”. Please select this option. Doing this makes it easier for us to process any refunds or to add additional time or features to your session.

Your booked session is time limited by the hour. You will need to book enough time for setup and cleanup after your shoot. If the hour following your session is Not booked ( you can check this on the scheduling calendar ) you can add an additional 30-minutes to your original booking. You can do this either before the shoot date, or during your shoot, but not after. Simply select the ADD 30-Minutes option on the scheduling page where you booked your initial booking, you will have to re-enter your information to purchase the additional 30-minutes ( this is easier if you register allowing us to keep your information ). You will not receive a separate code for the additional time.

To Cancel or Reschedule your session please use the link at the bottom of the email conformation that you received when you booked your session. Doing this will keep our calendar properly updated and assure any refunds or additional charges are properly processed. Please don’t contact Studio 8 directly to cancel or reschedule. You can Cancel or Reschedule up to 48 hours before your scheduled session, using the cancel / reschedule link. Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the scheduled time will not result in a refund. Sessions booked during November and December require 7-days notice to cancel or reschedule, due to the heavy demand for times during those two months. Refunds for cancelled sessions will incur a 3% credit card processing fee charged by SQUARE, our credit card processing service.

No. You may have multiple people come to be photographed during your session, and you may bring an assistant, or a stylist, but your session is for one content creator ( photographer or videographer ); the one that booked the studio. We monitor the usage of the studio remotely, and violation of this policy will result in an additional fee being charged. In general, sharing your booked session with another photographer with their own clients, is against our studio usage policy.

If the studio is rented for a production that includes stills and video ( a common practice for commercial projects ) of the same subject matter, then the use by dual content creators is allowed.

We strive to provide what you need for your shoot, and we have chosen to provide continuous LED lights that will match the available daylight, (during daylight hours) so that you can easily mix the lights with the window light. Each light will already be on a rolling stand, with an attached sandbag for safety. The featured Lighting equipment includes two “round” softboxes, mounted to 200-watt LED light heads. Even when the sun has set, these lights provide a light level suitable for still photography and video production. The studio overhead lights are High CRI daylight balanced, so they may be left on or tuned off.

In addition to the lights on stands there are two builtin daylight balanced artificial window lights, located in strategic locations. they can be turned on and off by a switches beside the lights.

No. Our lighting systems should be left together, set up as they were when you arrived. We realize that this may be an inconvenience. This policy is for safety reasons for both the people in the studio and the equipment. The Studio 8 lights may not be removed from the studio.

Absolutely. However you will be responsible for the safe use of any equipment that you bring into the studio.

Please do not arrive prior to your confirmed start time, we do not have a waiting room for customers. It is also your responsibility to inform your entire party of this policy. Another photographer may be finishing up their shoot, and they should not be interrupted as they are finishing up. However, if you enter at your time and someone is still shooting in the space, they will most likely apologize and quickly pack up and leave. If they do not, please let us know by calling us at 402 476 7239 and we will call the renter as soon as we can. Your booked time, is your booked time.
