Hazel House Studio was created to be more than just a rental space. It’s a welcoming, thoughtfully designed studio built with photographers and clients in mind — filled with natural light, versatile styling options, and an atmosphere that inspires creativity. Whether you’re capturing milestone moments, hosting a branding session, or creating simply for the joy of it, my hope is that Hazel House becomes a place where creativity feels effortless and community feels close to home.

For so long, local photographers and creatives in the Cleveland area have had to travel nearly 45 minutes to Chattanooga to access a quality studio environment. I wanted to create a space that was both beautiful and accessible — somewhere local creatives, business

I am a wife, a dog mom, a crime show junkie, baseball lover, and third wheel extraordinaire. I am based in Cleveland, TN--the best city tucked neatly between beautiful Chattanooga and the Ocoee River.  My passions are books, Crumbl Cookies, and going to bed early. I love to travel + meet new people, especially if everyone is glammed up in wedding attire. I wake up every day blessed to have this job.

About

Hazel House Studio is a bright, modern 1,200 sq. ft. creative space designed to feel both clean and versatile. With tall ceilings, abundant natural light, and an all-white interior, the studio provides the perfect blank canvas for any type of session or creative project. The space includes a curated selection of furniture pieces and backdrop options, allowing photographers and creators to easily customize the studio to fit their vision.

The Space

The Facilities

Street parking is available in front and around studio. Downtown Cleveland is fairly small, so even if you have to park a few blocks away, you are always just short walk to the studio. 

Restrooms and a dressing room are available in the studio. 

Immediately across the street from the studio is a beautiful small park, perfect if you'd like to capture both indoor and outdoor photos in one session.
