100 S Baldwin St Suite 206 Madison, WI 53703.
We’re inside the CommonWealth Development building in Madison, WI. You’ll receive detailed entry instructions—including where to park and how to find us—after your booking is confirmed.
Parking is available in the building lot. If it’s full, don’t stress—there’s usually plenty of free street parking
While our booking system doesn’t currently allow same-day reservations, you can always shoot us a message or email if you’re hoping to snag a last-minute spot. We’ll let you know if the studio’s free!
Your rental time must include your setup, breakdown, and cleanup. For example, if you’re planning a 1-hour shoot, we recommend booking a 1.5 hour block so you don't feel like your rushing to clean up after your client.
We get it—sometimes shoots run long. If you go more than 10 minutes past your scheduled end time, we’ll need to charge for an additional hour and/or a cleaning fee. To respect back-to-back bookings, please plan ahead and leave time to clean up before your session ends.
All rentals are non-refundable. That said, we know things come up. You’re welcome to reschedule once at no extra cost if you give at least 48 hours’ notice. Requests made with less than 48 hours’ notice will include a rescheduling fee of $25 per hour (based on your original booking length).
We keep a few equipment essentials on hand to help you bring your vision to life:
2 C-stands
2 V-flats
3 sandbags
Reflector kit
Standard light stands
A ring light
Feel free to bring any additional gear you love to work with—we welcome it! Just remember to factor in setup and breakdown time when booking your hours.
Looking for that dreamy golden hour glow? Book in the late afternoon to catch sunlight pouring in through our west-facing windows. Earlier in the day offers soft, even lighting—perfect for clean and airy looks. Each season brings a slightly different mood, so play around and find your favorite!
Yes—restrooms are located on the floor directly above our suite. Quick elevator ride or a short walk up the stairs and you’re there.
Not at this time—Studio M is currently a pet-free space.
Of course! We love seeing the creativity our renters bring. Want a peek at what’s available in-studio? Check out our Instagram highlights or shoot us a DM — we’re always adding to our prop collection.
