Selina's New Studio

I just made a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT that I got a new studio space downtown Vernon, B.C.!

I know that it's only been a year since I announced my first commercial space across from Village Green Mall, but things weren't working out there and I was pushed into an even BIGGER, BETTER SPACE. The Universe truly delivered. I'd like to share that space with you now 😍

The new space is located at 3005 32nd Street with it's entrance off highway 97 and private parking in the back of the building. I was over the moon to find out I had on site parking, which was a huge upgrade from my last studio. It also has a separate waiting and office area so when you first come in, you'll be greeted by Ella, my office Mother Nature Goddess that I had donated by a client and then my sister and I turned into a creation. You'll also see some of my art and accomplishments on the walls, as well as A LOT of plants. The difference between my old studio and new studio is night and day. Checkout this video comparison.

Thank you to every client that joined me in my old space last year and I am hoping to see you AGAIN in my new space.

The space has a full sized changing room for my clients, a private bathroom, and a basement to hold all my fun props and sets, which is the biggest difference from my old space, where I had zero storage. It also has ground level entry with a ramp up to the front door so it's fully accessible, unlike the old studio that had eight million stairs.

I started shooting in the new space on March 1st 2024 and have loved every session that I've returned since. The space has a gorgeous full ceiling light that brings in a unique direct light that I've never had in any studio space prior. The space also has gorgeous wood beams and accents throughout, and a lovely wood floor that compliments the space perfectly.

There are different nooks throughout the space that I have utilized for different setups that I can use for any type of session.

I even kept a blank space wall for headshots and now that I have the extra basement space, I am looking forward to playing with backdrop photos.

Because of the issues with my last space, I wasn't able to host any events except for the original studio launch party which had been pre planned before I got into the space. Now I am looking forward to a launch for THIS space and I hope to see you there! Make sure you like my Selina Photography Facebook and Instagram pages so that you don't miss out on the details. You know you want to do a session here! Reach out and we'll make it happen.

Studio FAQ's Where is your studio located?

A: In Vernon, B.C. at 3005 32nd Street. The main door is on Highway 97 and there is parking at the rear of the building.

What are your Covid-19 precautions?

A: Covid-19 protocols in my studio is very important to me. I make sure to sanitize my equipment and myself before and after each session. In my studio, I have limited the things in the space to make it easier to keep cleaned and sanitized. I choose mostly hard materials for high touch surfaces for easy sanitation between sessions. Any sessions that use soft surfaces like the bed, are booked on different days in order to properly wash all of the touched surfaces.

Studio sessions are also booked far enough apart to ensure thorough sanitizing.

Is your studio handicap accessible?

A: Yes, the studio is main level entry with no stairs and a single large washroom.

Is your studio animal friendly?

A: No, unless it's a pet friendly event like my Pets for Pets event.

Do I have to sign a photo release?

A: No. Signing a photo release is optional, and signing it is greatly appreciated. See a copy of the Photo Release here

Does your studio have a washroom?

A: Yes. There is a client bathroom at the studio, and there is also a client change area set up in the studio.

What are your prices and packages?

A: You can do a 30 or 60 minute package in my studio. You can see the details of all of these packages by clicking here 

What is the parking situation at the studio?

A: I have 2 parking spaces allocated at the rear of my building and there is also ample street parking on the street and we are one block from the parkade.

Do you have sets to choose from?

A: Yes. In the studio photos above you can see the two different setups I have in the different corners of the studio, and you can also get cuddly on the floor, or on the bed.

I also have backdrops, blank wall set-ups, and a lot of beautiful natural light. There's no lack of space to accomplish multiple looks in the photos, in a short period of time. I will also be doing different setups throughout the year. Check my social media platforms for those updates.

For cake smashes you will need to supply your own setup, and I will provide the clean, bright studio space to do it.

What do I wear to a studio session?

A: The same things that you would wear to an outdoor session. I think bare feet look naturally beautiful but if you'd rather have shoes on, then I just ask you bring clean shoes to change into once you arrive because I have white rugs in the studio. 

How many people can I include in a studio session?

A: My studio can comfortably host large families upwards of 20 people. Larger groups can be shot in sections, we just need to discuss that during the booking process.

Can I see a copy of the contract?

A: Yes. You can see a copy of the Contract of Services here.
