I've had the pleasure of modeling here a few times now, and every single session was incredible. I've felt my most artistic at Toast & I recommend this space to any creative that I cross paths with. Love the different sets they have and variety of options for space. I actually just finished up shooting with their "Spider's Nest" set, and I'm borderline at a loss for words for how grateful I am for their time/effort into creating a set like that for us spooky-lovers! Can't wait to line up my next shoot(s) here!

Best kept secret in the Twin Cities for BIPOC artist a like. I recently had my first shoot here with back 2 back photo sessions. I was very welcomed. Ron was incredible! Ahmed and team helped me a ton! Gave loads of insights and even assisted me with the lighting. Will return soon! Lots of parking and easily accessible.

First I would say the owner is one of the most tolerant people I’ve met. I came in with my two monstrous toddlers that kept obstructing him and I can’t believe he was able to multi-task in doing a great job with the kids getting in his way, he kept his professional cool despite almost getting injured from the distractions my kids caused. The pictures were great, he knew the angles to take great portraits and I definitely would recommend him to everyone I know who need’s awesome portraits and headshots. My professional headshots were great too! And the pricing is unbelievably reasonable, I was surprised he was so fair for such great services!

Toast is run like a haven for artists by artists. Their crazy collection of lights & cameras is only outclassed by their customer service. They even offer a variety of accoutrements, comfortable furniture, and even bedding in addition to the select spaces/rooms themselves. If they were a hotel, they'd be 5 stars. As a studio I'd give them 1000 if I could.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing reflects the quality and experience I bring to each project. I offer clear, upfront rates with no hidden fees. While I don’t usually offer discounts, I do provide customized quotes based on the project’s needs. Also, if you’re reaching out through Thumbtack, keep in mind that they charge vendors a fee for every message sent—so serious inquiries are always appreciated
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically I try to set up a brief phone introduction to get a good understanding of project, followed by image examples to visually lock in a mood.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied photography and lighting in college and have years of hands-on experience working in the field. Beyond that, I’ve learned a lot through real-world projects, collaborating with other creatives, and businesses constantly refining my craft on both photography and video productions
