Just minutes from the Piedmont Triad airport and located off I-40, the Colfax location became available. Diana and one of the Triad’s leadi
ng commercial builders began the task of renovating and adding a 10,000 square-foot addition to the new location through the latter half of 2013 to create a state-of-the-art photography studio with 54,800 square feet. In January 2014, the company moved into the new custom-designed facility which features an impressive 51,600-square-feet of actual studio space. It has approximately 20 custom-designed room sets and a huge daylight photography bay with modular set parts for endless set design possibilities. The vast accessory and prop gallery is filled with gorgeous and always current accessories. The studio’s warehouse for incoming goods is 5,000 square feet and the impressive carpentry shop filled with state of the art equipment is 3,000 square feet.
