Frequently Asked Questions
How do we book?
Still deciding? Start by browsing Our Studios. Once you’ve chosen a location, click “Book Now” or scroll to the scheduler to view appointment types and select your time.
What does each location include?
Every First North studio comes stocked with the essentials: All props and furniture, Bluetooth speaker, WiFi, tons of natural light, garment racks, on-site bathrooms, and easy (and free!) parking.
Can I tour the space before booking?
Absolutely! You’re welcome to schedule a quick tour if you’d like to see the space in person before your session. Just head to the location’s scheduler and select the “Studio Tour” option to reserve a time.
What’s your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
You can find full details on cancellations, rescheduling, and studio use in our policies here.
What time has the best lighting?
I truly can’t express this enough, anytime is fine to shoot with natural light at any of our studios. We chose all of our locations based solely off of the way the light drew into the spaces. On cloudy days it will naturally be a little less bright at any location, but still no flashes are needed unless it’s just a style preference.
Do you allow events?
Although events are not our main focus, we never say no to a good time! Please note our max occupancy at each studio and that we do not have on site tables and chairs. However, we do have partners we recommend to rent from that are super affordable and will drop off and pick up at your convenience.
Is there a minimum or maximum number of hours I have to book?
Our minimum booking time is 30 minutes. There is no maximum amount of hours you may book but we do allow a discount after 5 hours.
Do you allow content days?
YES! And we highly encourage them. We LOVE to see what you create and dream up in our space.
Can we bring our own props?
OF COURSE. And again we highly encourage that. Although we provide many amazing sets and props for you to use, it is always a good idea to bring exclusive ideas for your clients only. We created this space and invested for it to be everyone’s. Please feel as if it is your own and treat it as your own.
Do we need to clean after our session?
Absolutely. You should leave the studio clean if not cleaner than you left it. Please remember to allow yourself plenty of time to clean and reset the studio and also communicate that with your clients.
Do you allow pets?
We do NOT at our Bixby location due to the flooring style and their paws. However, we do at The Rise and 72 at an additional $50 pet cleaning fee.
What happens if I need more studio time?
Although we can’t guarantee someone isn’t booked right after your appointment, if they aren’t you can hop right on the booking site and add more time at your convenience.
Do you do seasonal set ups?
YES. we do our very large ever so popular floral installs with our Florists Ever Something in the spring, and our Christmas sets in the late fall early winter. We do also bring random sets here and there in like drapery installs and sometimes smaller floral sets.
DO YOU ALLOW boudoir?
Yes we do. Please contact us if you require extra privacy.
