What You'll Learn
Welcome to Our Creative Home
We are thrilled to welcome you to the Staske Photography studio in Champaign, IL.
We've spent months designing and refining this space to ensure it provides a luxurious, comfortable, and inspiring environment for all of our clients, from boudoir to portraits.
The Client Lounge
When you first walk in, you'll be greeted in our cozy client lounge. This is where we sit down for our consultations, review your wardrobe choices, and eventually, where you'll experience your grand reveal and ordering session.
We want you to feel at home, so expect comfortable seating, warm lighting, and perhaps a glass of champagne or a cup of coffee.
The Hair and Makeup Station
For sessions that include professional hair and makeup, you'll start your day at our dedicated styling station.
Featuring professional-grade lighting and a comfortable chair, it's the perfect place to relax and be pampered before stepping in front of the camera.
The Shooting Spaces
Our studio features versatile shooting areas designed to accommodate various styles.
- The Natural Light Setup: Large windows provide gorgeous, soft, diffused light that is incredibly flattering for both boudoir and delicate portraits.
- The Dark and Moody Corner: Featuring rich, textured backdrops, this area is perfect for dramatic, high-fashion-inspired portraits and sensual boudoir shots.
- The Classic Backdrop System: For clean, timeless professional headshots and classic family portraits, we have a seamless paper system with a variety of colors.
The Client Wardrobe Closet
One of our favorite features is the client wardrobe closet.
Filled with elegant dresses, luxurious robes, and stunning lingerie pieces in various sizes, it's available for our clients to use during their sessions.
We can't wait to host you in our space. Contact us to schedule a tour or book your session.
