Studio space with sofa and plant — clean, versatile setup.

When the Sun's Unreliable, We're Not.

We love natural light — when it plays nice. But it's unpredictable, inconsistent, and totally unbothered by your session timeline. That golden hour glow? Blink and it's gone. Cloudy skies? Washed out. Harsh midday light? Forget it.

That's why at Jackalope Photo Studio, we don't rely on it. Sure, we've got one window in the studio and three big ones in the front lobby — but we are not a natural light studio (and we absolutely love it).

Our setup uses professional constant LED lighting that gives us total control — soft, flattering, color-true light that looks amazing on every skin tone, every time. (And is super easy to use: click it on and position it.) No matter the weather, time of day, or season, your photos will glow. Consistent. Intentional. Unapologetically bold.

So forget chasing the sun. We've already captured the perfect light — and it's waiting for you in Edgewater, MD.

Milestone Backdrops

Milestone shoots are hands-down some of my faves — and if seamless paper isn't your vibe, I've got a curated stash of bold, personality-packed backdrops for you to play with. They're yours to use, but you set them up when you get here and tear them down before you leave. Plan your time accordingly. Each one is 80" wide by 60" tall.

Seamless paper backdrop rolls in the studio.

Seamless Paper Rolls

We've got a solid lineup of seamless paper rolls in the studio — yours to use, free of charge. If you use one, roll it back up, tape it shut, and return it exactly where you found it. If you burn through a roll or it's toast, tell me before you leave so I can swap it out or order more. If you trimmed scraps or finished off a roll, take your trash with you (dumpster out back).

Prop room with milestone and themed props.

Milestone Props & Other Options

I have a TON of props in the prop room: cowhide rugs, wooden soda crates, small chairs for milestones, birthday signs, one letters, disco balls — everything in the prop room is free to use. Have at it. There is more in the space, so just ask.
