Professional Photography Studio. Gorgeous Event Space. Blank Slate.
Bring your vision to life at Studio Northwest.
Studio Northwest is a beautiful and bright space in NW Portland. Built with an eye for light, aesthetics, and functional design, our fully-equipped studio is the perfect backdrop for your creative vision. The space is ideal for photographers, videographers, business professionals, teachers, and workshop hosts looking to share their skill with ease.
I believe that the right environment helps creativity to thrive, that a blank slate is an essential starting point, and that when someone else focuses on the details you can be more present for the work you love. I know that natural light, flowing tea, and the comfort of a place well cared for go a long way.
WELCOME TO THE STUDIO!
