General Rules

Please ensure you thoroughly familiarize yourself with our studio rules. Non-compliance may lead to additional charges. To ensure that these rules are upheld, we utilize Wi-Fi cameras throughout the shooting spaces, monitored by a female virtual assistant. Please note, bathrooms are exempt from this monitoring for privacy.
If a rule violation is detected, a studio representative will attempt to contact you twice on the provided phone number. If we are unable to reach you after two calls, our studio's Public Address (PA) system will be activated to address the issue. In order to avoid the use of the PA system, we kindly ask that you keep your phone on and its volume sufficiently loud to receive our calls while in the studio.

1. Checkout Process

Your booking includes a 10-minute cleaning and checkout period that starts after your session's end time. Please note that a Photo Loft virtual manager will be monitoring the Wi-Fi cameras to ensure that all shooting stops promptly at the end of the booking, and the checkout process is initiated. If the Photo Loft representative observes that you are still shooting after your scheduled end time, they will call the phone number you provide to ensure that shooting stops, and you begin packing and initiating the checkout process. If you do not answer your phone, the Photo Loft representative will activate our loud Wi-Fi speaker and communicate with you. We aim to avoid any discomfort or embarrassment, so we kindly request that you set your phone to loud to ensure we can reach you. Please be aware that we will charge up to $100 if our checkout process isn't completed perfectly. Additionally, if you do not leave within the 10-minute checkout window, we will charge the card on file late fees of $10 per minute spent in the studio after the 10-minute window. It is therefore essential to adhere to the checkout process and vacate the studio promptly to avoid any additional charges. Your confirmation email will include a link to our detailed checkout process. We've included helpful photos that make it easy to follow along, and most people complete the process in about five minutes. This way, you can be sure you're following our checkout process correctly and avoid any additional charges.

2. Respect the Furniture

Small items may be moved. Large items, including the sofa, rug and media console cannot be moved. You will be fined $100.

To preserve the quality of our high-end furniture, shoes are not allowed on couches or beds.

Any scuffs, dirt, or damage may result in charges corresponding to the cost of repair, cleaning, or replacement.

3. Timeliness and Courtesy

Please be considerate to subsequent users by cleaning up and exiting the studio promptly at the end of your booked time slot.

4. Tub and/or Shower Use

We do not allow tube or shower use. If we find evidence of the tub/shower being used, we will charge the card on file a $250 rule violation fine and ban you from booking the space in the future.

5. Studio Privacy Policy

We require that you adhere to our studio privacy policy. If you require any assistance or have inquiries during your session, please call us directly at 214-530-5986. We prohibit knocking on other studio doors, as this can disrupt ongoing sessions and violates the privacy of other clients.

Parking

There is ample street level parking next to the studio.

Entering the Space

You'll receive a confirmation email after booking with us, which includes a link to comprehensive access instructions, complete with useful visuals to guide you smoothly to our studio.

Are kids allowed in the space?

Yes, kids are allowed in our spaces.

Are pets allowed in the space?

As much as we love animals, pets are not allowed at any of our studio or event space locations. If we find evidence of a pet being in the space, we will charge a $500 fee.

What is your cancellation / rescheduling policy?

At Photo Loft, we understand that plans can change. Here's what you need to know about our cancellation and rescheduling policy:

  1. No Monetary Refunds: We do not offer monetary refunds for cancellations. Instead, we provide hourly credits.
  2. Hourly Credits for Cancellations: If you cancel your reservation, you can receive hourly credits equal to your booked time. These credits allow you to schedule a new session within 30 days of your original booking date.
  3. Eligibility for Credit Codes: To qualify for credit codes, you must cancel your booking at least 24 hours before the reservation start time.
  4. One-time Free Rescheduling: You can reschedule your booking once without any additional cost.
  5. Subsequent Changes: If you need to cancel or reschedule for a second time, it will require a new booking and payment.

Am I being monitored when I’m in the studio?

Yes, every one of our studios is equipped with cameras that we are constantly monitoring to ensure our rules are being followed. There are no cameras in the restroom.

Can I book your studio for a boudoir photography session?

Tasteful boudoir and swimwear photos are allowed, but we want you to know about our camera rules. Our cameras are always on to keep everyone safe and make sure all rules are followed. But if you still want to take boudoir photos and you understand our camera rules, we're okay with it. Please make sure you and your clients are okay with the cameras before you book. If you are a member and you'd like the cameras off, that's possible, but you need to give us insurance. This is because members know the rules and what happens if they don't follow them. This way, we can keep our place safe while we respect your privacy

Is nudity allowed in your studio?

We do not allow nudity in our studio due to our camera monitoring policy. However, nudity may be allowed for members who provide proof of insurance when our cameras are turned off.

What steps do you take to protect my privacy during a boudoir session?

We take our clients' privacy seriously. While we do not turn off our cameras, we have implemented the following measures to protect your privacy:

  1. Our cameras are monitored by a female virtual assistant only, who checks in every 5-10 minutes to ensure there are no rules being broken.
  2. All footage is deleted at the end of business day unless keeping it is necessary for addressing rule violations, potential liability issues, or legal matters.
  3. We make it abundantly clear that we actively monitor all sessions and events that take place in our spaces. Clients must agree to our cameras monitoring policy before booking.

Do you have an elevator?

Please note that this venue does not have an elevator. The second floor can only be accessed via stairs.

How big is the space?

Karve Loft is approximately 600 sqft.

Do you have a restroom in the studio?

Yes, we have a restroom in the studio. It's located down the hallway in the loft, to your left.

How early can I arrive to the studio?

Early entry into the studio is prohibited. You will only be allowed to enter the space at your official event start time. Set up and breakdown activities should be completed within your scheduled event time reservation.

Where can my guests park?

Our space is located in the quiet area of Dallas Design District, with low traffic. Ample street parking is available. There is also a parking lot in front of the location, but we cannot guarantee parking in it, as businesses are next to us.

When does the studio get the best light?

Our windows face east. This means we get abundant natural lighting in the morning and early afternoon.

Can I move the furniture?

Small items may be moved. Large items, including the sofa, media console, and rug cannot be moved without prior approval. You will be fined $100 for moving any of the items below:

Can I use or access the appliances or cabinets in the kitchen?

No, guests are strictly prohibited from opening any cabinets, drawers, or appliances such as the fridge, dish washer, oven or stove during their booking. Please respect these boundaries to ensure a seamless experience for all clients.

Can I remove the provided LED constant light to use the stand for my own lighting equipment?

We provide a complimentary LED constant light in each photography studio to enhance your shooting experience. However, we do not permit the removal of this light to use the stand for personal lighting equipment. It's essential to keep the LED constant light affixed to its stand to ensure the safety and integrity of our equipment. If you have specific lighting needs, we encourage you to bring additional stands to accommodate your gear.

Do you provide hangers for clothes?

We do not provide hangers in our studios. This decision is part of our commitment to maintaining a clutter-free and versatile environment for our clients. We encourage photographers and their clients to bring their own hangers to suit their specific needs and preferences.
