– Taylor

Chelsea and the team at Contrast are incredible! I've used other studios before, and this is by far the best experience I have had! Not only do I feel much safer using Contrast, but it's a space I feel excited to welcome my clients into. It's beautiful and stocked with everything we could need for our time in the studio. 

"this is by far the best experience I have had"

– Ashley

Contrast was super responsive and easy to book through email and Instagram! I send them a DM whenever I'm ready and they always accommodate. My husband and I LOVE taking our branding photos here every other month. We're forever customers!

– Monica

Chelsea is super responsive and so helpful with attendees, the space was bright and such a perfect blank slate for any and all content needs. She provided several backdrops, assisted with taking photos and provided goodies (snacks, drinks, hairties, etc) that were like sprinkles on top of a great space and event.
