Where light becomes legacy

A private photography sanctuary for creators who demand more than four walls and a backdrop.

The moment you step inside, the air shifts. Sunlight spills through 14-foot arched windows, warming the reclaimed oak floors beneath your feet. The scent of juniper and aged leather lingers—subtle, grounding. Here, every surface has been chosen to disappear, so your work can take center stage. No distractions. No compromises. Just 2,800 square feet of quiet potential, waiting for your next shoot.

A sanctuary built for creation

Not just a studio. A space that feels like yours from the first click of the shutter.

🌿

The North Light Loft

A soaring 1,200 sq ft space bathed in Portland’s famed soft northern light. Two 14-foot arched windows frame the city skyline, while motorized blackout shades let you sculpt the light to your vision. The floor—a patchwork of reclaimed Douglas fir—adds warmth without competing with your subject. Perfect for editorial, portraiture, and large-scale commercial shoots.

🔥

The Terracotta Chamber

A smaller, more intimate space wrapped in hand-fired terracotta tiles from Oaxaca. The walls absorb sound, creating a hush that lets you hear the quiet hum of your camera’s shutter. A vintage clawfoot tub (yes, for shoots) and a hidden wet bar make this the ideal setting for boudoir, product photography, and moody still-life work. Temperature-controlled to 72°F year-round.

📸

The Gear Vault

No need to haul your own equipment. Our vault houses 3 Profoto D2 monolights, 5 Broncolor Siros 800s, and a fleet of modifiers—from 5-foot octabanks to honeycomb grids. Every light is calibrated to 5600K, and our grip package includes 12 C-stands, 4 boom arms, and a library of gels. Just bring your camera. We’ve got the rest.

☕

The Green Room

A haven for talent and clients alike. Sink into a 1950s leather sofa while sipping cold-brew coffee from Stumptown (yes, we keep it stocked). A full vanity with Dyson hair tools and Aesop skincare ensures your subjects arrive on set camera-ready. And if the shoot runs long? Our fridge is stocked with local pastries from Ken’s Artisan Bakery.

🌀

The Cyclorama

A seamless 12x12x12-foot infinity cove, painted in Rosco’s ‘Soft White’ to eliminate harsh shadows. The floor—poured epoxy resin—reflects just enough light to lift your subject without creating hotspots. Ideal for e-commerce, product photography, and clean, minimalist portraits. Background paper in 12 colors is included in every booking.

🖥️

The Editing Suite

A quiet corner with a 27-inch iMac, calibrated to Adobe RGB (99% coverage). Dual BenQ monitors ensure color accuracy, while a Wacom tablet and Loupedeck+ controller speed up your workflow. Need to review footage on set? Our 65-inch Sony X90J 4K TV is at your disposal. All connected via 1Gbps fiber—no lag, no excuses.

🌳

The Rooftop Garden

When the weather cooperates (and in Portland, it often does), escape to our 800 sq ft rooftop oasis. Potted olive trees and lavender border a teak dining table, perfect for client lunches or a mid-shoot reset. The view? The Willamette River, framed by the Fremont Bridge. A rare slice of tranquility in the heart of the city.

🎤

The Soundproof Booth

For voiceovers, podcasts, or ADR work. Acoustic panels line the walls, and a Rode NT1-A microphone hangs from a boom arm, ready to capture crystal-clear audio. A pop filter and reflection filter are included, along with a Mac Mini loaded with Adobe Audition and Audacity. Because great visuals deserve great sound.

A 5-foot octagonal softbox with a removable inner diffuser for soft, even light. The speed ring is compatible with both Profoto and Broncolor, making it a versatile choice for portrait and product photography.

Westcott Rapid Box

A 26-inch switchable softbox that transforms from a beauty dish to a softbox in seconds. The silver interior reflects light for a punchy, high-contrast look, while the white interior softens shadows for a more flattering effect.

Manfrotto C-Stands

Twelve heavy-duty C-stands with grip arms and sandbags, ready to hold lights, reflectors, or flags. Each stand is equipped with a 40-inch grip arm and a 5/8-inch baby pin for secure mounting.

Got questions? We’ve got answers. Here’s everything you need to know before booking your shoot.

What’s included in the studio rental fee? +

Every booking includes access to the studio space(s) of your choice, all included gear (lights, modifiers, grip, etc.), climate control, high-speed internet, and basic amenities like coffee, tea, and snacks.

Need a custom package? Just ask—we’re happy to work with you to create a solution that fits your budget and timeline.

Can I bring my own gear? +

Absolutely. While we provide a full suite of pro-grade equipment, you’re welcome to bring your own cameras, lenses, lights, or modifiers. Just let us know in advance so we can ensure compatibility with our power and mounting systems. If you’re unsure, our team is happy to provide recommendations.

What’s your cancellation policy? +

We understand that plans change, so we’ve designed our cancellation policy to be as flexible as possible. If you cancel at least 7 days before your shoot, we’ll refund your deposit in full.

Do you allow food and drinks in the studio? +

Yes, but with a few guidelines to keep the space in top condition. Food and drinks are allowed in the Green Room and kitchenette, but we ask that you keep them away from the shooting areas and gear. Alcoholic beverages are permitted in moderation, but please let us know in advance so we can provide appropriate glassware and disposal options.

Is the studio accessible for people with disabilities? +

Yes. Juniperriverlane is fully ADA-compliant, with step-free access to all studio spaces, an accessible restroom, and wide doorways to accommodate wheelchairs and mobility devices. If you or someone on your team has specific accessibility needs, please let us know when booking so we can make any necessary accommodations.

Do you offer insurance for my shoot? +

While we maintain comprehensive liability insurance for the studio, we recommend that you carry your own production insurance to cover your equipment, talent, and crew. If you need help finding an insurance provider, we’re happy to recommend a few trusted partners who specialize in short-term production coverage.

Can I shoot video in the studio? +

Absolutely. All of our spaces are equipped for both photography and video production. The soundproof booth is ideal for voiceovers and ADR work, while the larger spaces—like the North Light Loft and Cyclorama—are perfect for interviews, commercials, and narrative filmmaking. We also offer a fleet of gimbals, sliders, and stabilizers to help you capture smooth, cinematic footage.

What’s the best way to get to the studio? +

We’re located in the heart of Portland’s Pearl District, just a 10-minute drive from Portland International Airport (PDX). If you’re driving, we offer a private lot with 6 reserved spots for clients, plus a loading dock for easy gear transport. Public transit options include the MAX Light Rail (NW 10th & Glisan stop) and several bus lines. Need a ride? We’re happy to arrange a car service for you and your team.

Do you offer discounts for long-term bookings? +

Yes! If you’re planning a multi-day or recurring shoot, we offer discounted rates to fit your budget. For example, a 5-day booking is priced at $2,500 (a 15% discount), while a 10-day booking is $4,500 (a 25% discount).
