Contacted Courtney of Hendo Studios to set up a couple shoots, from start to finish, and way after, Courtney and Hendo Studios was great to work with. The studio is clean, well lit, equipment organized and brand new top of the line. Profotos. And if you know anything about photography that's pretty much standard in the industry. There's a make up area with well lit mirror, and a long mirror to ensure your look is on point. There's a waiting/ lounge area that also can be used as staging or back drop. There's a bathroom within the studio that allows your models to change, in and out of the products quickly. Courtney's knowledge of lighting and equipment is top notched. Without his help, I don't know if my shoots would have gone as smoothly. He's got every light possible, every diffuser and multiple different backdrops to choose from. Hes got the standard paper. black, white, gray, etc but also has brick, and wooden background for variety in your photos or videos. Courtney seriously goes out of his way to ensure your experience is of the highest level. My client was lactose intolerant and Courtney went and purchased dairy free creamers just for her. Amazing. I always forget to take BTS photos or videos and Courtney manages to grab a few for me. If you're a serious photographer or a hobbyist, this is the spot where you would want to go. If you have any questions before hand, just reach out to him, very accessible. experience * hospitality * equipment * knowledge * rates * five...

Read moreLast week, the weather was terrible and I was so close to cancelling a shoot that I had planned weeks in advance. I reached out to Courtney at Hendo Studios and was able to book a studio session less than a day before the shoot was supposed to happen.
This place is amazing and could not have asked for a better host as well. Courtney helped set me up with lights, a clean backdrop, and it was just all in all a great experience.
The only problem I have now is hundreds of great photos that I have to cull down to just the best. I will definitely be coming back here for my...
