Home Studio Hours
Home Studio Hours is an ongoing, weekly studio space, hosted by Scarlet & Theresa, designed for photographers who want transparency over polish and conversation over curriculum.
Open-book conversations. Practical guidance. Honest reflection.
A weekly Zoom space where we open our home studios and talk through the real mechanics of running a photography business. No filters, no fluff, just honest conversation, practical tips, and occasional guest voices. Home Studio Hours is for anyone who wants steadier rhythms, clearer direction, and a space to work through the realities of creative life.
Who This Is For
Photographers and artists seeking guidance without pressure.
Those craving consistency and community in their work.
People ready to explore the business side of creativity honestly and openly.
What You’ll Gain
Real, practical strategies for running your photography business.
Honest, open conversation with peers who are navigating the same challenges.
A chance to ask questions and get feedback in a safe, non-performative space.
Inspiration for aligning your work with your life, not the other way around.
How It Works
Weekly Zoom calls, same day, same time.
New topics each week, from marketing and pricing to workflow and client care.
Guest voices occasionally join to share insight and perspective.
Participation is flexible, come when you can, engage as much as you like.
