Hello
I’m rachel
Along with my husband Jesse, we own Dampolo Photography & The Little Loft.
With over 8 years of experience in the photography and videography industry, we are dedicated to capturing your most precious moments. I firmly believe in "community over competition" and thrive on building connections within this creative community. We’ve always dreamt of creating a space for others like us to use.
our STORY
How we went from the Little Loft to the not so little loft.
Our journey led us to seek our own dedicated space, and after a couple of years of searching, we found the original Little Loft in April 2023. Located in Unit 301, this 204 square foot space was filled with glorious natural light. Despite its small size and limited storage, it was perfect for us and our community.
As we approached our one-year anniversary, a larger unit just two doors down became available. Without hesitation, I knew it was meant for us. Our new space is a spacious 1,100 square feet, featuring a 920 square foot main studio, a nearly 100 square foot glam room, and a generous closet for our 20+ gown client collection and other extras. Now, everything we need is conveniently housed in one place, ready to serve our clients and fellow creatives.
Jesse (with the help of a couple friends) poured his heart and soul into transforming these drab office spaces into the bright, inviting studios they are today. He meticulously installed the flooring panel by panel, moved countless pieces of furniture, and endured my constant, impatient reminders to get everything ready for opening. His dedication and hard work are evident in every corner of our beautiful space.
What Sets Us Apart?
What other studio offers a client closet with over 20 stunning, size-adjustable gowns available to all its renters? Our collection features a variety of colors and textures to perfectly match any style or theme you have in mind.
Our studio offers numerous cozy corners for creativity, along with ample open space to use as a blank canvas. Our unique bed setup includes a real mattress, ensuring your clients are comfortable and well-supported. This setup is a permanent fixture in our space.
In our 'Couch Corner,' minimalism meets industrial chic. Clean white furnishings are set against a backdrop of exposed brick and large industrial windows, creating a perfect blend of elegance and urban charm.
Having a photographer-owned studio is invaluable. We understand exactly what photographers need when renting a space and are well aware of the common pain points. This insight allows us to create a more seamless and enjoyable experience for all our renters.
