This 800 square foot, natural light commercial studio space is located near Chicago at 12544 W. 159th Street, Homer Glen, Illinois. Minutes away from I-355 and with excellent local restaurants and amenities.
The open floor plan studio is relaxed and inviting with neutral tones. Three large bay windows fills the room with ample sunlight. The white walls and neutral flooring reflect a minimalist look. The two shooting areas enjoy South and West sun exposure. Room darkening shades and white sheers are on every window so you can adjust light accordingly. A nearby field and beautiful outdoor location make it the perfect place to seamlessly transition from in studio to outdoor. Take a tour!

" Laurie's natural light studio is every photographers dream. The white walls to the hardwood floors to the white curtains makes my images pop and come out so crisp and clean. Her booking form is super easy to fill out and you secure your date super fast. Laurie is super sweet and makes the whole experience of the studio that much better! ~ K Ryon | Chicago, IL
