Group Photo + Video Shoot with Skyclad Studio

Date: Sunday, May 27th 2025 7-11am (this is the prettiest light on the pole, you don’t need to show up at the beginning of the shoot)

Location: Lake City, Seattle (exact location will be emailed to you before the shoot)

Join me for a magical opportunity to capture your dance in my secret garden pole space! I am a permaculture based landscape designer and organic gardener as well as a stripper and redesigned my rental backyard to frame the pole and the sunlight hits beautifully in the morning. We can take photos and video with just the pole and wander into the garden for some portraits with the flowering trees and gazebo. I am taking both photos and videos for this shoot, although I have a photos only package available.

Here's what you can expect: Free parking outside my house. Order of dancers getting photos/videos will be organized by my assistant for efficiency as folks show up (unless you email me asking to reserve a specific time slot) so you may need to wait for some folks to go before you but you'll get to watch some beautiful dancers and possibly make a new friend! You can leave as soon as you are done if you like or stay and hang out. The best lighting is earliest in the morning so if you’re brave I encourage you to come early! If you come right before 11am (like 10:50am) that is okay just know that as it gets closer to noon the sunlight is directly overhead and is harsher than in the earlier morning. Still beautiful though! If you want to come even earlier for sunrise I would be happy to be ready then just shoot me an email at skycladstudio.pnw@gmail.com after you buy your package if you want to shoot at day break.

Pole Details: We are using a X-Pole expert stage pole with pink powder coat (I may buy a brass pole before this shoot, will update the page if so). The pole can be changed to static or spin at your preference. You will sign a liability waiver releasing Skyclad Studio from responsibility for injuries on the pole before the shoot. We will set up the stage pole (rated for up to 250lbs) to be as safe and stable as possible but you need to be mindful and be careful!

How long do I have to sign up? Shoot registration closes at 5pm the day before, Saturday May 24th unless the shoot sells out, in which case will make an announcement on social media and this page that registration is closed. A couple days before the shoot you will receive an email with exact address, this is my personal home I rent so please be respectful of my privacy and don’t share the address with anyone outside the shoot.

Is my booking refundable? Shoot price is fully refundable up to 24 hours before the shoot. If you cancel within 24 hours I will refund you 50% or you can use what you paid as credit for booking one of my future shoots. This policy is to help me have enough time to find someone to take your place in the shoot as they usually sell out and spots are limited. If the weather is stormy on the planned day I will provide a backup date and refund anyone who is not available for the rescheduled date or offer to transfer your payment to my next shoot.

Pricing and Deliverables:

I have three different packages for this shoot so you can find what works for your budget. Click on the package you want and add it to cart, make sure you check out in order to book your spot in the shoot! You are welcome to book more than one package if you want to gift one to a friend.

You will receive your content via email within two weeks of the shoot. Please feel free to email River at skycladstudio.pnw@gmail.com with any questions.
