The city has surrounded my little place in the country and now a nice new freeway lets you off just 2 minutes from the studio making it an easy drive from Fresno or Clovis. There is over 1000sq ft of studio space with a partial kitchen (for food shots), large changing/bathroom (for models), high ceiling and a large (7’ wide) receiving door.
