We’re so excited to officially introduce a brand-new studio membership tier: The Mini.
This option has been thoughtfully designed for current members, past members, and creatives who have been watching from the sidelines, waiting for the right fit. If you love the studio, want consistency for your brand, and need flexibility without a full-time commitment, The Mini might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Let’s break it all down—what The Mini includes, how it compares to our other memberships, and why studio membership continues to be one of the smartest investments a photographer can make.
What Is The Mini Membership?
The Mini is our most flexible and accessible membership tier to date.
The Basics:
-
$300/month
-
4 hours of studio time per month
-
Weekday bookings only (Monday–Friday)
-
Use either studio location:
-
Studio 270 (The Big Studio)
-
Liz By Design Studio
-
-
No minimum booking requirement — book in 15-minute, 30-minute, or 1-hour increments
-
Includes nearly all standard membership perks
-
Excludes mentorship (reserved for full members)
This membership was created for photographers who:
-
Shoot shorter sessions (branding, headshots, milestones)
-
Don’t need weekends
-
Want the professional polish of a studio without the pressure of using a large block of hours
-
Want access to both studios instead of committing to just one
Why The Mini Is Such a Good Deal
Let’s talk numbers—because this is where The Mini really shines.
Non-Member Studio Rental:
-
$100 per hour
-
2-hour minimum
-
That means one session costs $200 minimum
With $300, a non-member:
-
Can book one 2-hour session
-
Cannot book shorter sessions
-
Cannot split time across multiple days
-
Cannot access member-only perks
With The Mini:
-
You get 4 total hours
-
You can split that time however you want
-
You can book multiple sessions
-
You save 25% overall
-
You get access to two studios
A non-member couldn’t even schedule two sessions for $300. With The Mini, you can host several.
Using Both Studios: A Huge Advantage
One of the standout benefits of The Mini is access to both studio spaces.
-
Studio 270 (The Big Studio)
Ideal for families, branding sessions, creative concepts, seasonal sets, and content creation. -
Liz By Design Studio
Smaller, cozy, and perfectly designed for newborn sessions, intimate portraits, and longer, slower-paced shoots.
You’re not locked into one style or space—you can choose what fits your session best.
Full Membership Options (For Creatives Who Want More)
While The Mini is an incredible entry point, we also offer full memberships for photographers who want deeper access, more hours, and mentorship.
Liz By Design Studio Membership
-
$500/month
-
16 hours per month
-
Designed with newborn and longer sessions in mind
-
Slower-paced, controlled environment
This is ideal for photographers who:
-
Specialize in newborns or babies
-
Need more time per client
-
Want a calm, consistent space
Big Studio (Studio 270) Membership Options
-
$600/month for 8 hours
-
$800/month for 16 hours
To put that into perspective:
-
A non-member paying $800 would only get four 2-hour sessions
-
Members get more hours, no minimums, and total flexibility
These memberships are perfect for high-volume photographers, branding specialists, and creatives who want Studio 270 to truly feel like home.
Membership Perks (Included with All Memberships)
This is where studio membership goes far beyond just renting a space.
Access to All Lighting
-
Natural light
-
Constant lighting
-

Client Closet Access
Members can use:
-

“The Studio Is Your Home” Factor
This is one of the biggest—and most underrated—benefits.
Members can:
-
Refer to the studio as their studio
-
Maintain visual consistency across sessions
-
Look more professional and established to clients
-
Leave equipment onsite instead of hauling gear around
This alone is a major WOW factor for clients.
Input on Set Design
Members can suggest setups and improvements.
If a setup benefits the group, Liz covers the cost.
Your voice matters here.

Is The Mini Right for You?

Want flexibility without overcommitting

We’re So Excited About This Option
The Mini was created because we listened to current members, past members, and photographers who wanted access without pressure.
If you’ve been curious about membership, this is your sign.
