  • The Downtown Studio Midland is available to rent from 8am to 6pm, everyday of the week.

  • Inside the Midland Charms Building at 401 West Texas Ave 9th Floor, Midland, TX 79701. The building is on the southwest corner of N Big Spring St and W Texas Ave.

  • If space is available in the Midland Charms Parking Lot (the lot off of W Texas Ave), you may park there. Parking can also be found on the southside of W Texas Ave or along Marienfeld.

  • Of course! Being that the studio is open by appointment only, please reach out to us and we’ll set up an appointment for you to view the studio.

  • Yes, bathrooms are located next to the studio on the 9th floor.

  • We ask that you give a 24 hour notice to reschedule and rescheduled dates are subject to availability. We understand that life happens for you and your clients and if you need to reschedule “last minute” (within 24 hours), we ask that you pay the remainder of the invoice before we will reschedule your time.

  • Again, we understand that life happens. While it’s not a guarantee, we do try to allow for a 15-20 minute grace period between rental sessions, just in case something like this happens. Anything longer may be subject to another rental hour fee (if the time slot is available).

  • When you book, we ask you a set of questions so that we can have the studio ready for you to walk in a shoot. However, we do understand last minute changes occur, so we allow for a 5-10 minute period if you would like to get there early. Anything longer needs to be coordinated with us and may be subject to an extra hour rental fee.

  • The earliest you can book the studio is 2 hours before the scheduled time.

  • Of course! Our studio backdrop stand is 10’ x 10’. We also have a smaller, portable back drop stand that adjusts from 2.4’ x 5’ up to 8.5’ x 10’ for those smaller backdrops.

  • Absoluely! You can rent out a whole day, two days, a weekend, however long you need! Please consider adding rental time for set up and tear down, but if you do rent full consecutive days, we can make arrangements to leave things set up between your rental days.
