THE DREAM was to build a studio that was filled with LIGHT, NATURAL TONES, and SPACE, to support all creatives & brands

“This is the crème de le crème... luxury vibes...a fine art studio in Madison, the prettiest in the state.”

I don’t want to share this magical place with others, but this place is amazing! Madison has been in desperate need of a perfect and beautiful space like this since I started photography five years ago. Everyone has their own aesthetic preferences for photography, but this place is the crème de le crème. Total Elizabeth Messina and luxury vibes! Finally a fine art studio in Madison, likely the prettiest one in the state. To elaborate what my favorite parts of the studio are: the floor to ceiling windows, the STUNNING lime washed walls, the crown molding, the vaulted ceiling and the owner is so sweet and beyond helpful! Thankful for this gem of a space. Thank you Lexia for gifting us this beauty to rent! Can’t wait to come back!

Filled with beautiful natural light, no detail has been missed in creating this stunning space and I'm so thankful to Lexia for sharing it! I love how much she supports other creatives in the industry. If you haven't met her yet, you should! Great location, multiple areas to shoot, gorgeous textures! It's been great working in this studio!

backdrops

“There are so many corners to utilize....There's so much beautiful natural light pouring in.”

This is such a beautiful space - there are so many corners to utilize to get a good variety of shots, and there's just so much beautiful natural light pouring in (with the option to filter it through curtains to soften it which is great)! My clients had a nice space to change into their attire for the session, and a mirror to check hair and makeup! I will definitely be booking the space again in the future - highly recommend!

“The perfect environment for a smooth and creative shoot.

The studio was absolutely beautiful—spacious, well-lit, and thoughtfully designed. Everything was incredibly organized and spotless, making it the perfect environment for a smooth and creative shoot. Lexia was a fantastic host! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, ensuring everything was seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend this studio and would definitely book again!
